Make-up Air Systems.

Commercial-grade ranges are an increasingly popular feature in residential kitchens. As many have found, however, large, powerful ranges require large, powerful exhausts. Without them, the combustion gasses, cooking effluents, steam, and waste heat such ranges produce quickly become unbearable and unhealthy.

Since maintaining a balanced pressure within the home requires that exhausted air be replaced with fresh air from outside, these large hoods require dedicated make-up air supplies. Without make-up air, even modest kitchen exhausts can dangerously depressurize today's "tight" homes. And providing make-up air isn't just common sense: The International Residential Code requires make-up air be provided for all kitchen hoods capable of exhausting 400 or more cubic feet per minute.
