An air handling unit replacement in Queens involves swapping out an aging AHU cabinet or its major components with new equipment matched to ...
Commercial exhaust fan installation in Queens covers the removal and setup of roof-mounted, wall-mounted, and inline exhaust equipment that ventilates mechanical rooms, corridors, bathrooms, and tenant spaces in commercial and luxury multifamily buildings. Irving Haase & Co., Inc. handles both in-kind fan replacements and new plan-and-spec installations for buildings across Queens, New York.
Property managers, building owners, and general contractors call us when a rooftop fan fails, a renovation calls for new ventilation equipment, or an aging motor needs an upgrade. We are headquartered in Corona, Queens, and have served commercial and luxury multifamily buildings throughout New York City for over 40 years.
Every exhaust fan project starts with a look at the existing conditions: the roof curb, the ductwork, and the electrical supply feeding the unit. That assessment tells us whether an in-kind replacement will keep the job simple or whether the scope calls for new plan-and-spec work tied to an engineer’s drawings.
Irving Haase services what it installs. Reach us at (718) 271-4100 to discuss a fan replacement or new installation for your Queens building.
What Does Commercial Fan Installation and Replacement Include?
Commercial fan installation and replacement covers removing a failed or outdated exhaust fan and setting a new unit that matches the building’s exhaust systems, ductwork, and electrical capacity. The goal is a fan that moves the correct volume of air without disrupting the building’s HVAC balance or indoor air quality.
Every project starts with the same questions: What is the fan connected to? What condition is the curb in? Does the electrical circuit support the replacement unit? Answering those questions correctly is what keeps a fan job from turning into a bigger mechanical project.
In-Kind Replacements Matched to Existing Curbs, Ductwork, and Electrical
Most fan replacements in occupied Queens buildings are in-kind. We match the new exhaust fan to the existing roof curb, ductwork, and electrical connections so the unit seats correctly and the job does not require structural changes.
This approach keeps costs predictable and avoids opening up ceilings or roofing beyond what is needed. It also limits disruption for tenants and residents while the work is underway.
Plan-and-Spec Installations for Tenant Renovations and White-Box Spaces
For tenant improvement projects and white-box build-outs, we bid and install exhaust fans exactly as drawn on the mechanical engineer’s plans. This includes new ductwork routing, fan selection, and electrical coordination specified for the space.
We work directly with general contractors to keep the ventilation scope on schedule with the rest of the renovation.
When Noise, Vibration, Weak Airflow, or Failed Components Call for Replacement
A fan needs replacement when it develops loud noise, excessive vibration, weak airflow, or a failed motor or belt. These symptoms usually point to worn bearings, a warped fan wheel, or a motor nearing the end of its service life.
Left unaddressed, these issues can damage the roof curb or ductwork and lead to poor indoor air quality throughout the building.
How Are Fan Replacement Projects Assessed and Bid?
Fan replacement projects are assessed through an on-site review of the existing equipment, access conditions, and building occupancy before a bid is prepared. This lets us scope the electrical, structural, and coordination work accurately before the project starts.
Equipment Fit, Access, and Coordination in Occupied Buildings
Rooftop and mechanical room access in occupied Queens buildings requires coordination with building management. We plan equipment staging, elevator or stairwell access, and work windows so the fan replacement proceeds without disrupting tenants or building operations.
Fit is confirmed against the existing curb dimensions, duct connections, and available electrical capacity before the new unit is ordered.
EC Fan Upgrades and Project-Specific Cost Factors
Older fan motors can be upgraded to EC (electronically commutated) fans during a replacement project. EC motors run at variable speed and use less energy than standard AC motors, which matters for buildings updating aging equipment.
Cost factors vary by project and depend on fan size, ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and access requirements at the specific building. Our commercial exhaust fan replacement work in Manhattan and Brooklyn follows the same assessment process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial exhaust fan installation cost in Queens?
Cost depends on the fan size, the condition of the existing curb and ductwork, and whether electrical upgrades are needed. Each project is priced after an on-site assessment of these specific conditions at your Queens building.
Can a new exhaust fan fit an existing roof curb and ductwork?
In most in-kind replacements, yes, the new fan is matched to the existing roof curb, ductwork, and electrical connections. This keeps the project straightforward and limits disruption to the building’s roof and mechanical systems.
When should a commercial exhaust fan be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement is the better option when a fan shows persistent noise, vibration, weak airflow, or a failed motor or belt. These signs often mean the unit’s core components have reached the end of their service life rather than needing another repair.
Can an older fan motor be upgraded to an EC fan during replacement?
Yes, older AC motors can be upgraded to EC (electronically commutated) fans as part of a replacement project. This is decided during the initial assessment based on the building’s electrical capacity and equipment goals.
Do commercial exhaust fans need ongoing maintenance?
Yes, commercial exhaust fans need regular maintenance to keep running to manufacturer specifications. Irving Haase & Co., Inc. offers customized preventive maintenance agreements for the fans we install in Queens buildings. Call (718) 271-4100 to schedule an assessment or set up a maintenance plan.
