Installing a new, premium range hood is an easy and inexpensive way to transform your kitchen. Whether you’re planning on putting your house on the market or simply making home improvements, an updated range hood adds value and function to your cooking space. Here are some DIY tips to install a range hood.
Before you install your range hood, you’ll need to determine where it should go. Your current set up or the type of home you own may make this decision easier, but there are still a few options to consider before placing your range hood.
Under-cabinet range hoods fit under your kitchen cabinets. Your kitchen cabinetry conceals any ductwork, and you don’t typically have to worry about installing a chimney. Under-cabinet range hoods are the most compact and best if you have limited space.
Wall mount range hoods have become increasingly popular in modern kitchen remodels. They are usually made with a sleek stainless steel design and chimney that covers the duct leading outside through a wall or the ceiling. Wall mount range hoods are larger and involve more setup, so they are better suited for larger kitchens.
Install an island range hood over your kitchen island. These free-standing hoods draw contaminants and other kitchen debris up and vent out directly through your ceiling. Island mounts are some of the largest and put a lot of strain on your ceiling since there is no wall to support its weight. If you plan to install an island range hood, ensure there is enough bracing to hold its weight.
While most range hoods are stainless steel, you can find or build a custom range hood to match your custom kitchen cabinetry. Rise Up Electrical has custom range hood options to match most kitchen designs.
Many range hoods today allow for DIY installation, especially if you’re replacing something that was already installed. Follow these instructions if you’re looking to replace a range hood in your kitchen.
