Installing a vented range hood to remove smoke, grease, and moisture from your kitchen air.
A properly vented range hood pulls cooking smoke, grease, and humidity out of the kitchen, which is especially valuable in tight PNW homes where moisture lingers. We mount the hood at the correct height, run ducting to the exterior, and ensure airflow meets the appliance's requirements. Ducted-to-outside venting is far more effective than recirculating filters at controlling moisture and odors. Correct installation also keeps the system quiet and code-compliant.
Effective removal of smoke, grease, and steam; reduced indoor moisture in damp climates; quieter operation with proper ducting; code-compliant exterior venting
1) Confirm hood type and required airflow; 2) Plan and run ducting to the exterior; 3) Mount the hood at the correct height; 4) Connect power, test airflow, and seal penetrations
Hood type, size, and CFM rating; length and difficulty of duct routing; exterior wall or roof penetration; electrical connection needs
Cutting an exterior vent penetration is best done during a dry stretch to seal the opening cleanly.
