My Zephyr hood in the Redwood Shores condo only runs on high. Is the whole unit dead?

No. That is almost always the speed-control board, not the motor or the whole hood. I test it before I order the part.

What does a diagnostic visit cost?

The $99 on-site diagnosis is credited toward the repair. I put the price in writing before ordering the part.

Do you cover Redwood Shores and Emerald Hills both?

Both, yes. San Mateo County is home base for our technician, so Redwood City does not add drive time the way an East Bay dispatch would, from the water to the hills.

Zephyr in Redwood City

Zephyr in Redwood City kitchens.

Redwood City is spread out and the housing stock spreads with it. Down at Redwood Shores, near the office parks, the townhomes and condos run smaller Zephyr wall and under-cabinet hoods in tight galley kitchens. Up in Emerald Hills, the bigger remodeled homes run island hoods pulling 600 CFM or more, often paired with a Presrv wine or beverage cooler built into a bar wall. Downtown near the courthouse and the theatre district, the older bungalows split about evenly between the two styles.

On the Redwood Shores condos, the complaint is usually a fan that only runs on high, which points to a failed speed-control board rather than the motor. In Emerald Hills, the bigger hoods lose airflow when the blower bearings wear out after years of daily cooking, and on the newer builds I also check the make-up air interlock wiring, since a bad connection there can look like the same problem. The Presrv coolers up in the hills mostly come in for a compressor that short-cycles or a thermostat holding one zone too warm.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Speed control board replacement. A hood stuck on high, ignoring the low and medium buttons, usually points to the control board rather than the motor.
Blower motor and make-up air interlock. Weak airflow on the bigger island hoods often means worn motor bearings. On newer builds I also check the make-up air interlock wiring, since that can mimic the same symptom.
Presrv compressor and thermostat. A cooler that short-cycles or holds one zone too warm points to the compressor or the thermostat. I test the sealed system before ordering parts.
