Frequently Asked Questions
How much does range hood installation cost in Texas?
Replacing an under-cabinet range hood costs $150 to $350 in Texas. First-time installations with ductwork run $350 to $700. Wall-mount chimney hoods cost $400 to $900 to install. Island range hoods are the most expensive at $600 to $1,500 due to ceiling mounting and ductwork routing. Ductwork alone adds $200 to $600 if not already in place.
Is a ducted or ductless range hood better?
Ducted hoods are significantly more effective because they exhaust smoke, grease, moisture, and odors completely outside the home. Ductless hoods recirculate air through charcoal filters, which catch some grease and odors but return moisture and heat to the kitchen. In Texas kitchens where deep frying and heavy cooking are common, ducted ventilation is strongly recommended.
What CFM rating do I need for my range hood?
The general rule is 100 CFM per linear foot of range for standard electric cooktops and 1 CFM per BTU divided by 100 for gas ranges. A typical 30-inch electric range needs 300 CFM. A 60,000 BTU gas range needs 600 CFM. Island hoods need higher CFM because they lack walls to channel airflow. A professional will calculate the exact requirement.
How high should a range hood be above the stove?
Standard mounting height is 24 to 30 inches above an electric cooktop and 30 to 36 inches above a gas range. Lower mounting captures more steam and grease but may interfere with cooking. Higher mounting reduces effectiveness. The installer follows the manufacturer specifications for your specific hood model and cooktop type to ensure optimal performance.
Can I replace an over-the-range microwave with a range hood?
Yes, this is a popular upgrade for homeowners who want better ventilation performance. The microwave mounting bracket and cabinet holes are patched, and the range hood is mounted in its place. If the microwave was ducted outside, the existing ductwork can often be reused. The result is significantly more powerful ventilation and a more professional kitchen appearance.
How long does range hood installation take?
Replacing an existing hood with the same type takes one to two hours. First-time installations with new ductwork take three to five hours. Wall-mount chimney hoods take two to four hours. Island hoods with ceiling ductwork can take a full day. If electrical work or new circuits are needed, add one to two hours for the electrician's portion.
