Easy was able to provide me with the diagnostics I needed to make an informed decision regarding the range. He provided me with the necessary information to pass along to my home warranty company for reimbursement assistance.

They did a fantastic job installing the backsplash and were flexible when the stove hood was delivered late and came back to finish the final work around the hood. They were good at communication during the project and have great workmanship. <br />

Range Hoods questions, answered by experts

Yes, they can assess the size, kitchen layout, and ventilation requirements to make recommendations.

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.

Yes, professionals can often retrofit models with minimal disruption.

Typically 1-2 hours, factoring in ductwork and electrical connections.

Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.
