Parramatta Rangehood Installation

While it is possible to install a rangehood yourself, it is strongly recommended to consult or hire a professional to ensure proper installation and adherence to local building codes. Installing a rangehood involves handling electrical wiring, proper mounting, and potentially dealing with ventilation ducts. Professional technicians will have the necessary tools, expertise, and experience to install the appliance safely and effectively, guaranteeing proper functionality and minimizing potential risks.

Range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside; however, venting outside is considered the most efficient and effective way to remove heat, smoke, and odors from your kitchen. Alternatively, you can use a ductless range hood, which recirculates the air through a filter to remove grease and odors. Although ductless range hoods are easier to install and do not require external venting, they are generally less effective than vented hoods in eliminating contaminants from the air and may require more frequent filter replacement.

It is advisable to have a rangehood that is at least as wide as your cooktop or even slightly wider. This ensures adequate coverage of your entire cooking surface, providing better smoke, steam, and odor removal. A rangehood with the same width or slightly larger than your cooktop will capture a larger percentage of pollutants, helping maintain a clean and fresh kitchen environment. If the rangehood is too narrow, it may not effectively remove contaminants, leading to lingering smells and a higher risk of grease build-up, which could become a fire hazard.
