Is your kitchen getting all smoky and greasy whenever you cook? A good range hood can make a big difference. At Avantgarde Appliance Repair, we're experts at installing range hoods in Ottawa and the areas around it. Whether you're trying to improve the ventilation in your kitchen, get rid of an old range hood, or switch from a microwave above your stove to a separate range hood, our technicians will take care of everything carefully. They'll make sure it's done just right. We can help you with all kinds of range hood jobs, from upgrading your kitchen to replacing an old unit.

We'll send someone over to take care of it for you.
We've worked with all the big names and every type of hood you can think of - the kind that vents outside, the kind that doesn't, the kind that mounts on the wall, the kind that fits under your cabinets, and the kind that sits on its own island. So, whether your kitchen is big or small, fancy or simple, we know how to get the job done right, no matter what your layout looks like.

Ready to Upgrade Your Kitchen Ventilation?

Range Hood Installation Services We Offer

Every kitchen is different, and the right range hood depends on your cooking habits, kitchen layout, and ventilation options. Our technicians are trained to install every type of residential range hood, including:

  • Wall-Mount Range Hoods — Ideal for kitchens where the cooktop sits against a wall. We securely mount the hood, connect ductwork, and ensure proper airflow for effective smoke and grease removal.

  • Under-Cabinet Range Hoods — A space-saving option that fits neatly beneath your upper cabinets. We handle everything from electrical connections to venting, whether ducted or ductless.

  • Island Range Hoods — If your cooktop is on a kitchen island, a ceiling-mounted hood is the best solution. We manage the more complex ductwork routing and structural mounting required for island installations.

  • Ducted (Vented) Range Hoods — Ducted hoods vent air outside your home for maximum ventilation performance. We install or modify ductwork through walls, ceilings, or roofs as needed.

  • Ductless (Recirculating) Range Hoods — When external venting isn’t possible, ductless hoods with charcoal filters recirculate cleaned air back into the kitchen. We ensure proper filter setup and secure mounting.

  • Microwave-to-Range-Hood Conversions — Want to replace your over-the-range microwave with a dedicated range hood? We remove the old microwave, adapt the mounting and electrical connections, and install your new hood seamlessly.

Our Range Hood Installation Process

We’ve streamlined our installation process to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you. Here’s what to expect when you hire Avantgarde:

  • Initial Assessment & Measurement

    We start by evaluating your kitchen layout, the location of your cooktop, existing ductwork, and electrical connections. This helps us recommend the best installation approach for your specific setup.

  • Ventilation Planning

    We’ll discuss whether a ducted or ductless configuration is right for your kitchen and determine the optimal duct route if external venting is needed.

  • Professional Mounting & Installation

    Our technician securely mounts the range hood according to manufacturer guidelines, ensuring it’s level, stable, and positioned at the correct height above your cooktop.

  • Ductwork Connection

    For ducted hoods, we connect or install the ductwork, including any wall caps, roof caps, or transitions needed to vent air outside your home.

  • Electrical Hookup

    We handle the electrical connection safely, whether your hood plugs into an existing outlet or requires hardwiring.

  • Testing & Final Walkthrough

    Before we leave, we test the hood on all fan speeds and lighting settings to confirm everything is working properly. We’ll walk you through the controls and answer any questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Range Hood Installation

Most standard installations take between 1 to 3 hours. More complex jobs — such as island-mount hoods or installations requiring new ductwork through a wall or roof — may take 3 to 5 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate during your initial assessment.

Not necessarily. Ductless (recirculating) range hoods use charcoal filters to clean the air and push it back into the kitchen. However, ducted hoods are more effective at removing smoke, heat, grease, and odors because they vent air completely outside your home. Our team can help you determine which option works best for your kitchen.

Yes, this is one of our most popular services. We’ll safely remove your existing microwave, handle any necessary modifications to the mounting bracket, electrical wiring, and ductwork, and install your new range hood in its place.

In most cases, a simple replacement doesn’t require a permit. However, if the installation involves new ductwork, electrical work, or modifications to your home’s structure, a permit may be required depending on local Ottawa building codes. We can advise you on permit requirements during your consultation.
