Check the warranty before you call anyone
Havells lists five years comprehensive product warranty on the Proxima, plus a lifetime motor warranty which it states as fifteen years. Those are among the most generous terms published by any chimney brand sold in India.
That changes our advice completely. On most brands we work out whether the fault is the motor so we can quote accurately. On a Havells we work it out so we can tell you not to pay us. If your hood is under five years old, almost any genuine defect should be a Havells claim rather than an independent repair.
Common Havells chimney problems
These are the Havells complaints we attend to most often in Hyderabad. Because the warranty is long, the faults that reach us are mostly cleaning, ducting and sensors rather than defects.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we do | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very loud at high speed but little pull | A 1,600 to 1,700 m³/hr hood pushed through a duct too long, narrow or sharply bent | Measure and inspect the duct run, then shorten or re-route it and fit a proper flap | 90–180 min |
| Suction dropped over time | Inner cone and impeller coated with hardened oil the auto-clean cycle never reaches | Strip the hood, degrease the cone and impeller, flush the oil channel and duct mouth | 75–110 min |
| Heat auto clean runs but grease is not melting | Heating element open circuit, or the cycle is run far too rarely for daily cooking | Test the element, then advise a warranty claim if in cover, or replace it if not | 60–120 min |
| Oil dripping onto the hob | Collector full or misseated, or the channel feeding it is choked | Clear and reseat the collector, flush the channel, renew a hardened gasket | 45–75 min |
| Hand-wave control ignoring you, or starting on its own | Sensor lens filmed with oil, or steam being read as a hand | Clean and re-calibrate the sensor, or replace the module | 40–70 min |
| Display blank or speeds stuck | Oil ingress behind the glass onto the control board | Clean and dry the panel and board; advise a claim if in cover, or repair if not | 45–90 min |
| Rattling or vibration at high speed | Impeller unbalanced by uneven oil build-up, or a loose canopy fixing | Clean and re-balance the impeller, re-seat and tighten the canopy | 60–120 min |
Times are for one technician at your home and exclude waiting for a spare part that has to be ordered.
Havells chimney models we service
Havells chimneys sold in India, including the models below. Figures are as published by Havells and its Indian retailers; your unit’s exact specification is on the rating sticker inside the hood.
| Model | Width | Suction | Filter and cleaning | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Havells Proxima, T shaped | 90 cm | 1700 m³/hr | Filterless, heat auto clean | Gesture control with colour display |
| Havells Proxima | 60 cm | 1600 m³/hr | Filterless, auto clean | Gesture and hand wave |

| Havells Cleva, curve shaped | Per Havells listing | Per Havells listing | Auto clean | Per Havells listing |
Where a figure is not published we have written “per Havells listing” rather than guess it. Models not listed here are still serviced. Call us with the number on your sticker.
Havells terms, and what they mean for a repair
Havells names its hoods and describes them by canopy shape rather than coding them. These are the terms Havells uses on its own listings and what each one implies when something goes wrong.
| Term | What it means | Why it matters for a repair |
|---|---|---|
| Filterless | No filter plates; oil runs down the inner cone to a collector | The cone must be stripped by hand. Running the auto-clean cycle is not a substitute |
| Heat auto clean | A heating element melts accumulated grease so it drains to the collector | The element can fail on its own while the fan still runs perfectly normally |
| Gesture or hand wave control | The hood responds to a hand passing in front of a sensor | A hood starting by itself is almost always this sensor reading steam |
| T shaped and curve shaped | Canopy profiles: a flat T-section hood, or a curved glass front | Glass and trim are shape-specific parts, so quote the shape when you call |
| Lifetime (15 years) motor warranty | Havells states lifetime motor cover as fifteen years on the Proxima | If the motor has failed, claim it from Havells before paying anyone to replace it |
| 5 year comprehensive warranty | Cover on the whole product, not just the motor, on the Proxima | Within five years, boards, sensors and elements should be a Havells claim too |
| 60 / 90 | Width of the hood in centimetres | Decides the canopy, glass and bracket we carry |
Where to find it: on the rating sticker inside the hood, usually under the canopy or at the back near the duct outlet. A photo of that sticker tells us which part to bring.
Havells’ warranty, and why we may turn work away
Havells lists a five-year comprehensive product warranty on the Proxima together with a lifetime motor warranty, which it states as fifteen years. Comprehensive means the whole product, not only the motor.
So if your Havells is less than five years old and something has genuinely failed, raise a Havells service request. Paying an independent technician instead would mean giving up cover you already hold, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than take the booking.
Cover differs by model and by the dealer you bought from, so check your own invoice before assuming these figures apply to your hood.
What we handle instead
Deep cleaning, which no brand covers under warranty at any age. Beyond that: oil and collector faults, blocked or badly routed ducts, physical damage, installation and re-siting, and any hood past its cover.
Ducting matters more on a Havells than on most brands. At 1,600 to 1,700 m³/hr these are among the highest-rated hoods sold here, and that airflow only reaches your kitchen through a short, wide, reasonably straight duct. A noisy Havells with poor pull is usually a duct problem, not a hood problem.

How a Havells service visit works
- You send the symptom. Call or send a short video of the chimney running. Sound and smoke tell us more than a description, and it lets us carry the right spare on the first visit.
- We tell you what it is likely to be. You get a probable cause and a price range before anyone travels, along with the visit charge. If your hood is under five years old we check your warranty first and tell you to claim from Havells where that applies.
- On-site diagnosis. The technician opens the hood, checks suction at the canopy, inspects the oil channel, duct and flap, then shows you the fault before quoting.
- Repair or deep clean. Work is done at your home. Floors and the hob are covered, oil-soaked parts are degreased in a tray, and old parts are handed to you.
- Test and hand over. We run every speed, check noise and suction with the kitchen door shut, clean the work area and give you a dated bill.
Full detail on charges is on the service charges page, and the areas we cover are listed under service areas.
Havells chimney questions
Should I use Havells service or an independent technician?
If your hood is under five years old, use Havells. The Proxima carries a five-year comprehensive product warranty plus a lifetime motor warranty stated as fifteen years, and comprehensive covers the whole product rather than just the motor. Come to us for deep cleaning, duct work, oil and collector faults and physical damage, none of which any brand covers anyway.
How long is the Havells chimney warranty?
On the Proxima, Havells lists five years comprehensive on the product and a lifetime motor warranty which it states as fifteen years. Cover varies by model, so check your invoice. These are among the most generous terms published by any chimney brand sold in India.
My Havells is loud but does not pull well. Why?
Usually the duct rather than the hood. The Proxima is rated at up to 1,700 m³/hr, among the highest sold here, and a hood that powerful pushed through a long, narrow or sharply bent pipe gets loud without getting effective. We measure the duct run before touching the hood, and shortening or re-routing it usually fixes more than any part we could fit.
Does heat auto clean replace a deep clean?
No. The heating element melts grease so it drains to the collector, which keeps oil moving. It does not clean the inner cone, the impeller blades, the motor housing or the duct, and those are the surfaces that cost you suction. A hand strip-down every four to six months keeps the pull where it started, and cleaning is not a warranty item with any brand.
Why does my Havells chimney start on its own?
Models with gesture or hand-wave control respond to a hand passing in front of a sensor, and steam rising off a pan reads the same way, as does a lens filmed with cooking oil. Cleaning and re-calibrating the lens fixes most cases; a failed module is a quick swap.
What is the difference between T shaped and curve shaped?
It is the canopy profile. A T-shaped hood such as the Proxima has a flat section, while the Canis Neo and Cleva use a curved glass front. For a repair it matters because glass and trim are shape-specific parts, so tell us which you have when you call.
Do you fit genuine Havells spare parts?
We use genuine parts where they are available to independent dealers, and OEM-grade equivalents where Havells supplies only through its own network. On a hood still inside its five-year cover we will generally advise a Havells claim rather than fit anything ourselves.
Which areas do you cover?
Hyderabad and Secunderabad, including Gachibowli, Kondapur, Madhapur, Kukatpally, Miyapur, Nizampet, Bachupally, Manikonda, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Mehdipatnam, Attapur, Uppal and LB Nagar. The full list is on the service areas page.
