"Doug and his team did a thorough job with both a video call walk-through and an onsite follow-up review of the project to provide options before providing an estimate. Chris performed the work and was very detailed, asking questions during the install to be sure that the location of the junction boxes, etc. were exactly how we wanted them, while adhering to all code/safety requirements. The job was very involved and I am definitely pleased with the results."
"John came in and hooked up the wires, added switches for the recessed lights in the kitchen. He even prewired for an island hood vent... another project of mine later down the road. He did the work quickly and cleaned up well. I would use them again for another electrical projects in the near future."
"Finally got one of the doorbell cameras that we’ve been seeing on TV commercials and at some of our family member’s houses. Alarm Protection Group was terrific in pricing this out for us and getting it up up and going. Simple and easy security solution!"
"Paul and team did a great job. During installation, they were successful in problem solving difficulties encountered and even can back out subsequently to troubleshoot the system. Very good experience overall."
"A lightning strike caused our security system to become non-functional. UGSS assessed the system, replaced the main unit, control panels, door sensors, cameras and checked that the wiring and sensors worked througout the house. UGSS sent out Andy to do the original assessment and then the first replacement visit. Due to the severity of the problem, multiple visits were necessary, which we agreed was appropriate. Andy did an awesome job with the installation and programming and taught us how to operate the new system. The remaining visits when similarly as well and we are happy with the work performed, the attitudes of the installers, and the site preservation/clean up. Ordering and scheduling through the main office was accurate and the team left informative voice mails when they couldn't reach us. Only suggestion we would make is to follow up directly with the office if you make a request of the technician. Between appointments, we realized that the technician had not remembered to let the office know of an additional item we needed to be ordered. It took longer then to complete the full job. "
"Mark kept us informed and showed up when he said he would. He installed about 2 dozen light fixtures, fixed a couple outlets, and added outlets all in the time it would have taken me to do just one. He was fast, efficient, and left no sign behind that he was even there. For any work in the Annapolis area, I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him in the future for my electrical needs. He pricing was beyond fair for all of the work he did from the lights in the attic, garage, living room and crawl space."
"Dale was terrific he arrived on time, was prepared to go to work, on arrival. Picked up a few necessary items, I didn’t have. Started and finished the job, cleaned up. Left with a functioning Ring doorbell that was connected to hard wire. Very professional and thorough."
"The service was good, one technician came out and discovered the problem, another technician that was more experienced was sent out and two other technicians fixed the problem. I have been using them a long time and they installed my replacement unit."
If a range hood has minor issues, the average repair costs $85 to $210. This accounts for both parts and labor. More extensive damage can cost as much as $300 to $500, at which point it may be worth considering completely replacing the range hood.
Typically 1-2 hours, factoring in ductwork and electrical connections.
You should contact a local range hood installation professional to install your range hood and do the ductwork. Prices range from $50 to $100 per hour, with the total number of hours required varying based on the project complexity. Simple installations might take an hour or two, while more complicated ones can take four hours or more.
Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove’s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen.
Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they’re minimal or extensive.
No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside. Ductless or non-vented range hoods are available, which are common in condos or small kitchens where connecting to external ductwork isn't feasible. These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen. However, while these recirculating hoods are more versatile, venting to the outside is still the preferred and more effective method for completely removing smoke, odors, and gases from the room.
