Have you ever heard of Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV)?

DCKV is the process of measuring the level of cooking activity in commercial kitchen hoods and modulating the speed of the associated exhaust and supply fans to be used only as needed. By adjusting these units, these commercial kitchens save at tremendous amount of energy in their electrical, heating, and cooling usage.

KESTechnicians perform full installations, service, and repairs of our DCKV system and other energy efficient solutions in commercial kitchens.

It is a unique career that combines electrical, controls, and problem solving. Every project is different, and not two days are the same.

KESTechnicians will work together in teams of two, or individually to accomplish the set tasks on each job site. Electrical Journeyman's license is required, please be prepared to submit it upon request.

DCKV is at the intersection of HVAC, controls, and energy engineering. You're not just pulling wire, you're tuning VFDs, reading airflow data, and solving problems that don't have a page in the textbook yet.

As commercial kitchens move towards smarter ventilation, technicians who understand both mechanical systems and variable frequency drives are becoming the people everyone else calls first.

Every commercial kitchen is a candidate for smarter ventilation, and the industry is short on technicians who can install and diagnose those systems correctly. That scarcity is exactly what makes the skill valuable!
