Professional Range Hood Installation
Range Hood Installation Services We Offer
Wall-mounted range hoods
perfect for kitchens with a cooktop against a wall. When we install one, we make sure it's securely mounted, the ductwork is connected just right, and the airflow is proper so it can effectively get rid of smoke and grease. This way, your kitchen stays clean and fresh, and you can cook without worrying about all the smoke and mess.
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 range hoods
Great option when you can't vent outside. They use charcoal filters to clean the air and then blow it back into the kitchen. We make sure the filters are set up right and the hood is mounted securely.
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.

Why Choose Avantgarde for Range Hood Installation
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.
