Commercial Kitchen Exhaust in Jakarta — Hoods, Ducting & Make-up Air
A commercial kitchen with a badly designed exhaust announces itself instantly: smoke drifting into the dining room, greasy walls, and a dining-area AC losing the fight against hot air from the cook line. In 12 years of HVAC practice, restaurant complaints almost always come back to two numbers nobody calculated: hood extraction capacity (CFM) and replacement air supply (make-up air).
We design and install complete kitchen exhaust systems: stainless steel hoods with grease filters, galvanized ducting with cleaning access, heat-rated exhaust fans, and fresh-air supply so the kitchen never runs at negative pressure. The principle is simple — air you exhaust must be replaced, or the smoke will find its own way into the dining room.
Scope of work
- Stainless steel hoods — custom-fabricated wall-mounted or island hoods with baffle filters and lighting.
- Exhaust ducting — galvanized ductwork with grease-tight joints, proper slopes and cleaning access panels.
- Exhaust fans — centrifugal or axial units rated for heat and grease, with vibration and noise isolation.
- Make-up air — filtered replacement air supply so doors do not slam and the dining-room AC stays stable.
- Cleaning & maintenance — grease removal from hoods, ducting and fans — essential fire prevention.
Cost estimate
Baseline prices for kitchen exhaust in Jakarta, 2026:
- Custom stainless hood — from IDR 3.5 million per linear metre.
- Galvanized exhaust ducting — from IDR 350,000/m² installed.
- Small restaurant package (2–3 m hood + ducting + fan + make-up air) — typically IDR 35–80 million.
- Full grease cleaning — from IDR 2.5 million per visit.
Final pricing depends on the duct route to the discharge point and the cuisine — heavy-grease cooking such as grills needs more capacity. The survey and BoQ are free.
How we work
The workflow is identical on every project, from a shop-house to a factory — so you always know exactly where things stand:
- Site survey (free) — we visit, measure the area, check installation routes, electrical capacity and structure. In factories we also note the production processes that drive heat loads.
- BoQ & working drawings — within 2–5 working days you receive a written bill of quantity, material specifications and drawings. The price we quote is the price we invoice.
- Installation — K3- and BNSP-certified crews work to the agreed schedule, including nights and weekends when production cannot stop.
- Testing & commissioning — airflow, temperature and electrical readings are documented in a commissioning report, followed by handover with a written 12-month warranty.
We install kitchen exhaust for standalone restaurants, hotel kitchens and mall food-court tenants across Greater Jakarta. If your restaurant also needs dining-room cooling, see commercial VRF; for ingredient storage there is cold storage — we often build all three in one project. Exhaust ductwork itself is covered in detail under ducting installation.
