Thai is a qualified electrician and mechanic who has spent years working across commercial and industrial sites in NSW. Altruism NSW was built from hands-on experience — not a boardroom.
We specialise in one thing and we do it properly: commercial kitchen exhaust fan services. We are not general HVAC — we are commercial kitchen exhaust specialists.
Sydney metro and Wollongong coverage with same-day service for most repairs.
Not general HVAC. Kitchen exhaust is all we do — better diagnosis, fewer callbacks.
Practical inspections and fault reports that identify defects, priorities and where further testing or rectification is recommended.
No shortcuts. No excuses. Straight-up service from people who give a damn.
We cover all of Sydney Metro and Wollongong. This includes Greater Sydney, the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Western Sydney, and the Illawarra region.
We offer 24/7 emergency response. Depending on your location and the time of call, we aim to be on-site within 1–3 hours. Your kitchen can't wait, and neither do we.
Not just exhaust fans — we work on the entire commercial kitchen ventilation system. That includes make-up air (return air), ESP (electrostatic particulate filter) units, DOL starts, fire trip relays, and VSDs. We are not general HVAC contractors. Our specialist focus means faster diagnosis, better parts knowledge, and fewer callbacks.
Annual inspection may suit many venues. High-use kitchens or equipment with demanding conditions may benefit from six-monthly or quarterly inspection. The right interval depends on operating hours, equipment condition and the cost of downtime.
Yes. Altruism NSW Pty Ltd is fully insured and operates under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 385443C. Our work is completed to the applicable Australian Standards.
