A properly installed rangehood removes smoke, steam and cooking odours from your kitchen,
improving air quality and preventing grease buildup. Whether you need a ducted system vented
outside or a recirculating unit, qualified installers can mount your rangehood, set up ducting
and connect the electrical supply. Post your job on The Quote Yard to compare quotes for rangehood installation.

Rangehood Installation FAQs
Is a ducted or recirculating rangehood better?
Ducted rangehoods are more effective as they expel air outside, removing all fumes and moisture.
Recirculating units filter and return air to the kitchen, making them suitable where ducting
isn't possible. Consider your kitchen layout and cooking habits when choosing.
Do I need an electrician to install a rangehood?
If your rangehood plugs into an existing power point, you may be able to mount it yourself.
However, if hardwiring or a new power point is needed, a licensed electrician is required.
Many installers handle both the mounting and electrical work.
How high should a rangehood be above the cooktop?
Generally, rangehoods should be installed 650-750mm above an electric cooktop and 750-800mm
above gas cooktops. Check your rangehood manufacturer's specifications as recommendations
vary by model for optimal performance and safety.
Can ducting go through the roof or wall?
Ducting can exit through either the roof or an external wall depending on your kitchen layout
and what's most practical. Wall ducting is often simpler and cheaper. Roof ducting may be
necessary if the cooktop is on an internal wall. Your installer can recommend the best route.
