Power Ventilators

Rooftop Power Ventilator + Exhaust Fan Service NYC.

Every commercial building's exhaust ends at a rooftop power ventilator: a belt-driven or direct-drive fan pulling kitchen, toilet, or general-building air up and out. Vinco services them, Loren Cook, Greenheck, Twin City, and PennBarry, from belt and bearing changes to motor and drive replacement and full fan swaps. When the fan seizes, the building can fail inspection and, for a kitchen, the line shuts down.

What we offer

Service scope.

01

Belt, Bearing + Drive

The routine that keeps a belt-driven power ventilator running: belt and bearing replacement, sheave alignment, and drive service.

02

Motor Replacement

Failed or seized fan-motor replacement, ODP and TEFC, sized and wired to the existing starter and disconnect.

03

Kitchen Exhaust Fans

Type I grease-exhaust fans over commercial kitchens, serviced to NYC Fire Code 506 and NFPA 96, with the hood and duct in view.

04

Toilet + General Exhaust

Utility-set and upblast exhaust fans for toilet exhaust, garage exhaust, and general building ventilation.

05

Fan Replacement

End-of-life power-ventilator swaps: new Cook, Greenheck, or Twin City fan set on the existing curb, rewired and rebalanced.

06

Exhaust + Make-Up-Air Balance

We check the exhaust against the make-up air so the fan is not fighting a starved building or a pressurized kitchen.

How it works

Three steps.

Step 01

Roof Diagnostic

We pull the weather cap, read the motor and drive, check the belt, bearings, and dampers, and confirm the fan is actually moving air.

Step 02

Repair or Replace

You get the failure named and priced, with a clear call on whether the fan is worth a belt and bearings or is due for replacement.

Step 03

Back in Service

We complete the work, verify airflow and rotation, and document the unit off its nameplate.

Why Vinco

What you get.

Fans Are Part of the Job

Vinco services the rooftop exhaust fans alongside the refrigerant equipment, not as an afterthought.

Code-Aware

Kitchen grease exhaust serviced with NYC Fire Code 506 and NFPA 96 in view, hood and duct included.

Read Off the Plate

Every fan gets documented off its nameplate: model, motor data, CFM, so the next service starts from fact.

Severity Dispatch

From the field

A Cook 210 CPV, sixteen years on a SoHo roof

This Loren Cook 210 CPV is a 5 HP belt-driven power ventilator moving 6,900 CFM off a Lafayette Street roof in SoHo. Installed in 2009, still spinning. Vinco pulls the weather cap, checks the belt, bearings, and drive, reads the motor, and documents it off the plate.

That is the whole discipline: the fan gets read the same way any unit does, so the building knows what it has and what it is due for, before a seized bearing takes the exhaust down mid-service.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

What rooftop exhaust fan brands does Vinco service?

Loren Cook, Greenheck, Twin City Fan, PennBarry, and Captive-Aire, in belt-drive and direct-drive, upblast and utility-set configurations. Vinco services kitchen grease-exhaust, toilet exhaust, garage exhaust, and general building ventilation fans across all five boroughs under NYC DOB Contractor #022359.

How much does rooftop power ventilator repair cost in NYC?

A diagnostic starts at the $199 fee plus $49 travel. A belt-and-bearing service is a low-hundreds job; a fan-motor replacement runs into the hundreds-to-low-thousands depending on horsepower; a full fan replacement on the existing curb runs higher. The diagnostic names the failure before any number is committed.

My kitchen exhaust fan stopped, can you get it running today?

Call (212) 810-0915. The dispatcher answers 24/7 and a downed kitchen exhaust fan during service moves up the severity-based queue, because a kitchen cannot legally operate without working exhaust. The tech confirms whether it is a belt, a bearing, a motor, or the drive, and gets it moving or scoped for replacement.

How long do commercial exhaust fans last in NYC?

A belt-driven rooftop power ventilator can run 15 to 20+ years with belt, bearing, and drive service, longer than most people expect. NYC weather, grease loading, and run hours drive it. Vinco has serviced Cook units installed in 2009 still in service. The nameplate and the bearing condition tell you where a given fan sits.
