Is my range hood too high?
Hey, just got the range hood installed, one of the last steps and my kitchen is almost complete. He installed it 30 inches from the top of the cooktop grills. Is It fine? Does the installation look ok? It just felt a tiny bit high, but I guess Im just used to my old one which was quite low.

6年前I think its height looks fine (and your kitchen looks beautiful). The first thing I noticed was that the hood doesn't appear to be hanging straight - it looks a little cockeyed to me. Could be photo angle, or me...but wanted to alert you to check it out.

質問の投稿者6年前最終更新:6年前Thanks! After using the kitchen, I think the height is fine now. I also think the top half of the range hood vent looks crooked, I’ll have the installer come check it out. Also any ideas for the lighting? I’m going to remove the old light, and get something new over the island. (Sorry for the messy kitchen)

6年前Installer has to follow manufacturer specifications and city codes. usually is between 27" - 30" from the top on your burners. the higher the BTUs on your stove, the hight the hood has to go. it looks good!Jeffrey R. Grenz, General Contractor
6年前Probably correct at 30". Beware of misleading photos and diagrams. The cooktop manufacturers installation instructions specifies minimum clearances which are rarely less than 30" for gas. Correct me if I'm wrong.Design Solution Group
6年前are the recessed lights new or existing? I will change them to white interior with a white trim so they dont look like polka dots in your ceiling. maybe add pendants over the island and under cabinet lights for task lightingsunshine home
質問の投稿者6年前Ahahha now I won’t be able to unsee polka dots! All my recessed lights are about 17 years old, Ive been thinking of upgrading them all to led lights, but I’m not sure how much that will cost as I have around 60 of these lights around the house.

6年前start by changing one room to LED... its an amazing transformation... more light, less heat, cheaper power bills.Design Solution Group
6年前I agree, do one room at a time - white housing & white trim! you are getting theteOPPEIN Group
6年前It is ok for the height. But the range hood is kind of long may be due to other ceiling cabinets.

6年前In Ontario (Canada) If it is a gas stove there is a measurement you must follow from the top of the burner (not grate) to the range hood. There is also a measurement to the cabinets. 18” horizontal & vertical area that can’t be combustible. We had an inspector who wouldn’t pass a customers occupancy permit. We had to prove to him the measurement was from the top of the burners not the grate that covered the burners.RedRyder
6年前Hard to tell where the fixture is - over an eating area? I& so, I’d go with a rectangular design to give the space more definition.
The range hood is fine.felizlady
6年前The only things that matter would be (1) having the exhaust fan powerful enough to pull greasy air, odors and smoke up into the vent and out of the house and (2) the hood is high enough you won't bump your head.
