Our complete lines of vacuums and blowing machines are designed, engineered and manufactured in-house. With a trusted name for over 80 years, Meyer’s contractor equipment stands out amongst the rest because of our dependability, reliability, and pure performance that is built to last. During the 1920’s, William W. Meyer, Sr. worked for Roots Blower in Connersville, Indiana. He was a hard working employee, but he dreamed of owning his own business. So in 1933, armed with his experience servicing blowers and pumps, Bill Meyer set out on his own. His new venture, General Blower Company, began manufacturing centrifugal fans for industrial ventilation, pneumatic conveying, dust collection and gas boosting in Chicago, Illinois. Despite the Depression and World War II, Bill Meyer’s business continued to succeed. Developing new product lines that included insulation blowing machines and vacuum collection systems, General Blower had become an equipment manufacturer in its own right.

In 1946, a subsidiary business, Meyer, was established and began offering equipment services from a small shop in Skokie, Illinois. In addition to service, Meyer purchased used air-moving equipment, rebuilt it, and then sold it for substantially less than the cost of new equipment. Also, to give customers the option of purchasing new equipment, Meyer became an agent and distributor for other manufacturers including Sutorbilt Blower (known today as Gardner Denver). In 1959, General Blower was sold and Meyer continued to manufacture dry bulk material processing equipment, dust collectors, rotary airlock feeders, insulation blowing machines and vacuum collection systems from their current location in Libertyville. Today, Meyer & Sons, Inc., is a world leader in the manufacture of dry bulk material processing equipment, pneumatic conveyors, dust collectors, insulation blowing machines and vacuum collection systems. By continuing Bill Meyer’s tradition of developing innovative machinery and committing to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship and customer service, the company he founded has continued to grow steadily into its second, third and now fourth generation of family ownership.

We strongly believe in building and supporting our community and the communities around us. Each year, Meyer supplies and installs insulation in houses for Habitat for Humanity. With each project, Meyer encourages its employees to spend the day installing insulation to not only learn about our product, but also experience the joy of providing to those in need.fellowes 4-speed hepa air purifier energy star We are a proud supporter and customer of Rags Of Honor; holmes air purifier ionizer hap 220a Chicago based and top-quality screen-printing organization that has the mission of providing employment and services to homeless veterans. honeywell cpz air cleanerAll the proceeds Rags of Honor receives go directly to employing the veterans who are producing the garments at the Rags of Honor facility.

This is to be used with a 30" Gas Stove. I have found these 3 brands with good prices and interesting features, but have not been able to find much information about them. Cavaliere - Found on Overstock Z-line - Their own website Alcona - Found at Costco Do you know anything about them? Have other recommendations for hoods?

8,921 posts, read 33,173,370 times Haven't heard of them- Wolf, Broan, and Vent-a-Hood are probably the most common. But what you're talking about is monsterous. Large duct, probably the need for remote blower (think dB), and you'll sure as Hell need makeup air- as I previously mentioned. Here's a "musing" for you. It may make you reconsider the "plan"; Makeup Air for Range Hoods | I recall reading an article where someone was using- for all parctical purposes a commercial vent hood- in a residence. The HVAC contractor configured a roof mounted blower and used double wall pipe for the exhaust and makeup air. Similar to that of direct vent fireplaces. The inner pipe is the exhaust and the outer pipe is the makeup or incoming air. There was no significant temperature differential between the two because the hot exhausted air was heating the makeup air. And of course the exhaust pipe had a damper on it to prevent back drafting. Though they didn't mention any pricing that I recall, I would bet that type of setup would cost 4-5k easily.

They are regular chimney hoods. And 6" duct is not that large. And I don't need a remote blower, most of the time will be using lower settings. No make up air is needed, already checked with my GC. I don't see how that article refers to what I am looking at. I am looking at regular chimney hoods with CFM around 500 or 600. 10,311 posts, read 11,925,241 times I would ask them where these hoods are manufactured. This is on their profile page "Cavaliere adheres to it's key business principles concentrating on innovative products, devotion to customer service and overall professionalism." and makes me nervous because it is not what a native-English speaker would write. Z Line Kitchen and Bath Home Page This is their homepage. It looks like a storefront for a Chinese manufacturer. There is no phone number. I would run away. 3. Ancona (not Alcona) 4.

I just put in a 450 CFM hood (furnace and water heater are in unconditioned space) and have noticed it works better with a window cracked open and am looking into makeup air. Also, if you control where the air comes in it is always better. It will find a way no matter what. I do have other gas appliances such as water heater, furnace and dryer. They are all in the garage. The house is 1940. In the Kitchen there is a window, a vented skylight and a door to outside. Should I be concerned by CO? And what about these other options? Do you know Summit? The sales guy from AJMadison is recommending the Summit over the similar priced Broan and Zephyr. There are some that are a bit more money.

But I am willing to pay up to $800 if I will get something really much better. Unfortunately Kobes are over $1000.
