I rent a row house in San Pablo. Can you send the quote to my landlord?

Yes. We can email the written quote to the owner or the property manager, and no work starts until they approve it. What we found during the diagnostic goes on the quote, so everyone reads the same thing.

Is an under-cabinet Zephyr worth repairing, or should we just replace it?

It depends on the part. A capacitor, a light driver or a switch is a modest repair on a hood that otherwise works well. If the motor and the control board both need replacing, the math can favor a new hood, and we lay out both numbers side by side.

Our hood trips the breaker when it starts. Can you track that down?

Yes, and it is worth doing soon. A hood that trips a breaker can have a shorted motor or a wiring fault inside it, but in an older house the circuit itself may be overloaded or worn. We test the hood and its connection, and we tell you if the fix belongs to an electrician.

Zephyr in San Pablo

Zephyr in San Pablo kitchens.

San Pablo sits on the plain between the Berkeley Hills and San Pablo Bay, and more of its housing went up between the 1940s and the 1960s than in any other era. Kitchens in those houses tend to be compact, which is where an under-cabinet Zephyr hood earns its place. A compact hood still has a real blower, and when it slows or starts to buzz, the cause is usually one of a few parts we can test in place.

Older houses bring their own wiring questions, so we check the circuit feeding the hood along with the hood itself. The technician who handles San Pablo is based in Benicia. The visit begins with a $99 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair, and we also service the Presrv wine and beverage coolers Zephyr makes.

Common repairs we handle.

Under-cabinet hood buzzing on low speed. A buzz that is worst on low speed often traces to a failing motor capacitor or a speed control feeding the motor poorly. We test the capacitor and measure the output at each setting. The wrong guess here means buying a motor the hood did not need.
Grease-loaded filters and a sticky blower wheel. When mesh or baffle filters go too long between cleanings, grease reaches the blower wheel and throws it off balance. We clean the wheel and the housing, check the bearings for damage, and show you how the filters come out so you can wash them at home.
Presrv cooler clicking but not cooling. A repeating click with no cooling points to a compressor that tries to start and gives up, often because of a start relay or an overload. We test those small parts first. If the compressor itself has failed, our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified and we quote the sealed-system repair in writing.
