Are you tired of lingering cooking smells in your kitchen? An exhaust hood can help keep the air clean while also adding a stylish touch to your cooking space. If you’re ready to install an exhaust hood, but don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we will walk you through the process step-by-step so that you can have your new exhaust hood up and running in no time.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials:

  • Exhaust hood
  • Screwdriver (typically Phillips or flat-head)
  • Tape measure
  • Drill
  • Wire nuts
  • Electrical tester
  • Flexible ductwork
  • Duct tape

Step 1: Preparation

First, turn off the power to the area where you will be working. It’s important to ensure safety during the installation process. Next, measure the area where the exhaust hood will be installed to ensure a proper fit. Make sure there is an electrical outlet nearby. If not, you may need to consult an electrician to have one installed.

Step 2: Remove the Old Hood (if applicable)

If you had an existing exhaust hood, start by removing it. Disconnect any electrical wiring and unscrew the hood from the wall or cabinet. Carefully remove it and set it aside.

Step 3: Install the Ductwork

Before attaching the new exhaust hood, you’ll need to install the ductwork. Measure the distance from the exhaust fan to the outside wall or roof, and cut the flexible ductwork to fit. Attach one end of the ductwork to the exhaust fan and secure it with duct tape. Run the ductwork through the designated path, ensuring a proper seal at each joint with duct tape.

Step 4: Mount the Exhaust Hood

Position the exhaust hood in the desired location. Make sure it is level, and mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes where you made the marks, and then attach the hood by screwing it into place.

Step 5: Connect the Wiring

Consult the exhaust hood’s instruction manual to determine the appropriate wiring connections. Connect the electrical wiring from the hood to the electrical outlet. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and cover them with a wiring junction box if necessary.

Step 6: Test and Finalize

Turn the power back on and test the exhaust hood to ensure it is functioning properly. Make any necessary adjustments before proceeding. Finally, clean up the workspace and admire your newly installed exhaust hood.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your exhaust hood. Not only will it help keep your kitchen fresh and clean, but it will also enhance the overall aesthetics of your space. Sit back, relax, and enjoy cooking in your improved kitchen environment!
