Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances Re: External Motor Rangehoods? Marketing or Fact 33Dec 16, 2019 7:48 am One amaibing notremaison We just installed the Qasair NDCH100L2B Undermount 1000m Wide Rangehood with 2 x external vents. Much quieter and sucks a lot more of the smell out. Each motor seems to work one vent. We used to get meat smell upstairs when we cooked and almost non existant now. Via E & S also with their preferred installer. We built with a volume builder and the previous unit did basically nothing and when the installer removed the previous unit it was extracting to a fairly small hole which was mainly filled with insulation.

We are currently about to build with a volume builder and they would not allow us to install QASAIR. Our problem is the ducting used by the builder is flexi as you would know is not recommended for QASAIR. The manufacturer told us that if we need to have the QASIAR, ducting needs to be installed before the plaster is up on the house. Would you be willing to share how E&S changed your old rangehood to QASAIR? worse case scenario, we would get whatever comes with the builder and replace it after. But not sure how we can do this. We do not want to rip the entire kitchen wall and ceiling. If it is minimal work, should be ok. We looked at the Schweigen but that one has outside motor and we are hesitant to get that. Thanks in advance. Thank you very much Amy If you look at the photos, their rangehood backs on to an external wall. In this instance, any Qasair installer would be able to do the work. I am also building with a volume builder, unfortunately our kitchen is in the centre of the house, but our butler’s backs on to an external wall, so I am going to add a rangehood there post handover. I have provisioned first this. Thank you very much. DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair I mean, I install them/sell them for a living so I haven't done DIY, unless you count the first one I installed lol.
