Frequently Asked Questions
A make-up air kit provides fresh air to replace the air that is exhausted from a building through ventilation systems, such as range hoods, bathroom exhaust fans, or industrial ventilation systems.
Choosing the right make-up air kit depends on several factors. The size of the exhaust system (e.g., kitchen range hood or bathroom exhaust fan) determines the amount of make-up air needed. Choose a kit that can provide enough air to replace the volume being exhausted, typically calculated based on CFM (cubic feet per minute).
FAMCO provides a one-year warranty for make-up air kits, which includes coverage for manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues or defects with the kit, contact our customer support team for assistance.
