Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Sep 24, 2010 3:47 pm We have decided to renovate our 1953 original kitchen (thank goodness ) We will be removing the oven from one wall to another wall, so obviously we will need an electrian in to remove/disconnect the old oven/stove (free standing). While the electrian is here, will we need him to reconnect another outlet for the new oven and cooktop,dishwasher, aswell as remove some power points or will he wait till the kitchen is in and then come back to do it? We were looking at getting a canopy rangehood, but most electrians i have spoken too are telling me they will only install the power point and not the rangehood itself because its a big job (we currently have no range hood or fan in the kitchen) So basically we will need ducting, flu kit etc and its probably more money than its worth, as this means it will need to go through the roof ....? But even with the slide out rangehood, i thought they were ducted aswell or are they more simple than canopy's??. I did try to add some pics to more explain our kitchen layout, but did'nt know how to do it.

Yes the electric parts a sparkie can do it not the installation of a large rangehood rests in the hands of a plumber because of the ducting Quasair insist that their ducting system should be used whereas others do not indeed slideout systems can be used in recirculation or ducted. In recirculation mode they are not as effective of removing smoke or steam.

I did try to add some pics to more explain our kitchen layout, but did'nt know how to do it. Im doing the same thing with my kitchen right as we speak. Theres a cost for the removal of old appliances. Then a cost for installing new appliances. There's a charge for each new power point required per appliance, ie: dishwasher, oven, fridge, and cooktop. Also gas cooktops need a capping/uncapping fee by plumber. The ventilation of the rangehood into atmosphere is done by the plumber, costing me about $250, once the unit is in place. Re: Canopy rangehoods and other Q's 4Sep 26, 2010 4:30 pm Frozensage - Is your rangehood a re-circulating one, or is it ducted?. Re-cirulating would be hassle free (installing), but the affects are not as good as ducted obviously. I have called plumbers, but once again i'm being palmed off to joiners in regards as to who will install a canopy rangehood. Because we have no current fan/ducted in place, we are really starting from scratch. This may sound really clueless of me, but with ducted it can go either 2 ways - 1. flue go through the ceiling and out to the top of your roof. - 2. Flue just go through the ceiling and stop in your ceiling. Is this right?. Roughly how much does it cost to get someone to install a ducted rangehood???? Any help would be greatly appreicated Re: Canopy rangehoods and other Q's 5Sep 26, 2010 4:35 pm Frozensage - Just realized you mentioned $250 for installation on ventilation. Sounds like a great price to me, but obvoiusly you had to have everything in place before hand ie, rangehood on wall etc etc. Re: Canopy rangehoods and other Q's 6Sep 30, 2010 3:03 pm bec29 Frozensage - Just realized you mentioned $250 for installation on ventilation.

The only thing we could reuse was the powerpoint but everything the pumber had to do was new. Now we have a wall mount canopy like the one you are after I think. Re: Canopy rangehoods and other Q's 7Oct 04, 2010 9:50 pm You dont need a plumber to do it but you do need someone fairly handy. We are quite handy people and did our own but it wasnt without problems (was actually more of a PITA than we could have imagined). If you are using flexible ducting then it's a lot more straight forward, we decided to go for firm ducting in a straight run through the roof and ended up having to get a roofing carpenter to cut and bridge a joist and tile batten to make it work. The only place we could put ours was also on the front of a flimsy baulkhead which was not going to hold the weight so we also got him to install some timbers behind it for us. After all this was done we were finally able to install it and put the ducting through. I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home.
