Q: Do range hoods need to be vented outside?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a range hood?

• <div><p>If a range hood has minor issues, the average repair costs <b>$85 to $210</b>. This accounts for both parts and labor. More extensive damage can cost as much as <b>$300 to $500</b>, at which point it may be worth considering completely replacing the range hood.</p></div>

Q: Can range hoods be installed in existing kitchens with minimal renovation?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can often retrofit models with minimal disruption.</p></div>

Admiralty Chimney (AC) repaired our chimney last year. They put a metal liner in our brick chimney. Last winter was the best burn we ever had. We have lived in the house since the mid 1990s. AC cleaned the chimney today. We had minimal creosote. We use a Defiant Encore as the...

They showed up on time. Quickly assessed the issues. Was very detailed and explained what needed to be done. Only issue was it started to rain and they had to get different cement for the chimney. That was not their fault. Just circumstances.

"Jason is a true professional,and takes pride in his work. We have a stone chimney that was once very beautiful but was in desperate need of repair. This chimney is on a flat roof, we have a new Duralast rubber roof system over it, it is a fairly new product. Jason really did his homework on this roof system, he spoke to Duralast professionals to get a thorough understanding of this product and was very careful not to void our warranty. Jason repointed the chimney, added new lead flashing, a new chimney cap, and waterproofing. I am happy to say the Chimney looks beautiful once again and is completely water proof. Jason's pricing was very fair and I was very impressed with his work. I highly recommend Peak Chimney."

"Everything went wonderfully with this company. They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work. Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine. One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring. Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues. They cleaned up after themselves very neatly. They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost! Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate! I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.
