to ensure mechanical systems support both operational needs and project goals.
Prior experience with CaptiveAire - a leading manufacturer in HVAC and commercial kitchen ventilation systems - provided exposure to projects from early design development through installation, startup, and post installation service. Having seen firsthand how legacy engineering practices can create barriers to implementing modern technologies, we bridge the gap between customer needs and the latest industry advancements to deliver practical, constructible designs that prioritize performance and long-term success.
Commercial kitchens create unique ventilation, heat, and airflow challenges that require specialized expertise.
At Wys Engineering, we focus exclusively on restaurant and commercial kitchen HVAC systems. Having been involved in thousands of commercial kitchen and restaurant HVAC projects, our founder understands that restaurant ventilation is one of the most demanding applications in the HVAC industry. Success requires more than standard HVAC design—it requires a deep understanding of kitchen operations, ventilation systems, airflow management, and the realities of construction and commissioning.
We design exclusively for restaurants and commercial kitchens—never a general MEP afterthought.
Five years with CaptiveAire across design, installation, startup, and commissioning of kitchen ventilation.
Systems focused on building performance and the comfort of both guests and staff.
Designs that meet mechanical, ventilation, and life-safety code requirements from the start.
Efficient exhaust, makeup air, and pressurization strategies that lower long-term operating costs.
Practical, constructable designs—coordinated with your architect, kitchen consultant, and contractor.
Our specialized focus is the food and beverage industry — new restaurant construction, renovations, tenant improvements, commercial kitchens, food halls, and hospitality dining facilities.
Both. We provide complete restaurant HVAC design along with specialized commercial kitchen ventilation.
As early as possible—ideally during design development. Coordinating ventilation and mechanical systems early prevents costly changes later and leads to a smoother build.
Yes. Close coordination with architects, kitchen consultants, contractors, owners, and developers is central to how we work—so the mechanical systems support both operational needs and project goals.
We're based in Los Angeles and serve clients throughout California. Reach out about projects elsewhere—we're happy to discuss.
