What’s included
- Mount the hood bracket or chimney to the wall or upper cabinets
- Connect the hood exhaust collar to the existing duct run
- Seal all duct connections with metallic foil tape
- Plug in or hardwire the unit depending on model type
- Test all fan speeds and lighting
How it works
Measure & position
We confirm the hood will sit at the correct height above the range and that the exhaust outlet aligns with the existing duct opening.
Mount & connect duct
We attach the mounting hardware to studs or upper cabinet floors, slide the hood into position, and connect the exhaust collar to the duct with a tight, taped seal.
Wire & test
We connect the power source, install the grease filters and light bulbs if not pre-installed, and run the fan through all speeds to confirm strong airflow.
Problems we fix
- Hood mounted too low — hood hits users' heads and is a fire hazard
- Duct connection not sealed — grease-laden air leaks into the wall cavity
- Hood not level — grease drains to one side of the filter
- Damper installed backward — closes when the fan runs instead of opens
Range Hood Installation in Columbia — FAQ
What if there is no existing duct for the range hood?
If there is no duct, the hood can be configured for recirculating mode using a charcoal filter. This does not remove moisture but does filter grease and some odors. We can set the hood to either mode.
Can you install a decorative chimney-style hood over an island?
Yes. Island range hoods require ceiling-mounted ductwork and are a more complex install. We assess the duct run and ceiling height before beginning.
How high above the range should the hood be mounted?
Most manufacturers recommend 24 to 30 inches above an electric range and 27 to 36 inches above a gas range. We confirm the spec for your specific model before drilling.
Range Hood Installation across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
