Streivor Hood Repair

Streivor Air Systems is a California-based commercial kitchen exhaust ventilation manufacturer, headquartered in Fremont, California. Streivor designs and fabricates UL 710-listed Type I grease hoods, Type II condensate and heat hoods, makeup air units, and utility distribution systems for commercial restaurant kitchens. The California-corridor positioning matters operationally for LA operators: Streivor ships direct from Northern California manufacturing into the LA restaurant market with shorter transit times than East Coast or Midwest-based hood manufacturers, and parts supply for service work benefits from the same in-state proximity. Streivor is an independent manufacturer, not part of Standex (Gaylord's parent), not part of Greenheck (Accurex's parent), not part of the large CaptiveAire or Halton organizations. That independence shapes how the brand shows up in LA: Streivor is a specified-by-choice hood at mid-scale and independent restaurant projects where the operator or design-build contractor wanted a California-local manufacturer.

Check the listing label on the underside of the hood canopy or on the end panel, UL 710-listed hoods carry a permanent label with the manufacturer name, model number, and listing number. Streivor hoods display 'Streivor' or 'Streivor Air Systems' on the nameplate along with the specific model designation (for example SX-Series canopy hoods, or utility distribution system part numbers). If the hood was installed as part of a larger kitchen ventilation package including makeup air and utility distribution, the whole package typically reads Streivor. When in doubt: photograph the nameplate and text it to us, and we'll confirm brand + model before dispatching service.

Three different commercial kitchen ventilation positions. CaptiveAire (Raleigh NC, family-owned, national manufacturer + self-perform install in many markets) runs the largest overall US install base and shows up widely across LA, flagship ND-2 canopy hoods at Koreatown, Downtown LA, Arts District, Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, and Valley restaurant clusters. Halton (Finnish-origin, Michelin + high-end hotel specification) concentrates at Michelin-star restaurants, luxury hotels, and high-end hospitality projects across Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Downtown LA. Streivor occupies the California-local independent-manufacturer niche, specified at mid-scale independent restaurants, design-build projects where the architect or contractor preferred a California-made hood, and operations where the project timing or spec flexibility favored the regional manufacturer. Each has its own service channel; we cover all three with the same $120 commercial diagnostic.

Commercial kitchen exhaust diagnostics follow a consistent sequence across manufacturers because the fundamental architecture (exhaust fan + makeup air interlock + variable frequency drive on larger systems + electrical control package) is common industry practice. For a Streivor hood exhaust fault: (1) verify the exhaust fan is actually trying to start, listen for the motor and check disconnect at the roof or mechanical room; (2) read any fault codes on the electrical control panel if the system has a VFD with fault display; (3) check the interlock status between the exhaust fan proof-of-operation (pressure switch or current sensor) and the makeup air unit, if the MAU won't fire, exhaust may be showing as 'not running' even when the fan is turning; (4) inspect the grease filter loading, heavily loaded filters increase static pressure and can trigger fan-overload on systems with current monitoring; (5) test the fan motor electrically. Most Streivor service calls resolve at the interlock + pressure-switch + grease-filter level without major component replacement.

No, we do hood repair, not certified NFPA 96 grease cleaning. NFPA 96 grease removal is a separate licensed trade with its own permits, insurance, and AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) paperwork in Los Angeles County. If your Streivor hood needs both repair and certified grease cleaning, common after a prolonged equipment issue where grease accumulated during downtime, we coordinate directly with your hood-cleaning vendor so the mechanical repair and the certified cleaning align on timing and documentation for LA County Fire compliance. LA County Fire follows NFPA 96 cleaning frequency requirements: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume grease (charbroil, wok), semi-annual for moderate, annual for low.

$120 flat commercial diagnostic, waived when you authorize the repair. Typical Streivor service ranges: pressure switch + interlock relay + contactor $250-$450 (parts + hour labor); MAU interlock fault diagnosis + wiring repair $280-$520; control-panel relay + contactor replacements $320-$560; hot-water solenoid for self-cleaning systems if equipped $320-$480; VFD fault reset + inspection $280-$460; exhaust fan motor or MAU fan motor replacement $850-$2,000 installed depending on HP and accessibility; VFD drive replacement $950-$1,800; control board swap on systems with board-level control $1,100-$1,800. Restaurant downtime is the bigger cost, we prioritize same-day dispatch during normal business hours.
