Rangehood installations
Rangehoods are an essential but often an overlooked appliance in kitchen design. While they play a crucial role in keeping your kitchen environment fresh by removing smoke, steam, and odours, their installation can be tricky and requires careful planning. Poorly installed rangehoods can lead to inadequate ventilation, noise, and inefficiency, negatively impacting your kitchen experience.
Many tradespeople are often reluctant to install rangehoods due to a lack of specific product knowledge. Rangehood installation can involve complex considerations like proper ducting, ventilation, and motor placement, which some tradespeople may not be familiar with. As a result, they may try to shift responsibility to other trades, leading to delays or improper installation.

Different Types Of Rangehoods
Rangehoods require consideration as to what style is appropriate for each individual client’s home as compatibility is dependent on factors such as cabinetry design, type of cooking appliance, access to exhaust point locations and general building design.
Careful consideration should be given to product selection.
Some common considerations when selecting a rangehood:
- Cabinet design
- Cooking appliance type
- The amount of floors of the home
- Specialty ducting requirements of specific brands
- Motor configuration

Common Questions
When changing over a rangehood or the corresponding cooktop, you must be sure to comply with current regulation requirements.
In Victoria, Australia ESV requires the following clearances:
For gas cooking
650mm minimum clearance from the highest part of the burner of the gas cooktop to the lowest point of the rangehood.
For electric/induction cooking
600mm minimum clearance from the highest part of the electric/induction cooktop to the lowest point of the rangehood.
Please see below for the ESV regulations:

There are many factors that go into deciding on an appropriate rangehood for your needs.

Installers must duct rangehood systems out to the atmosphere and are not permitted to allow rangehoods to blow air into ceiling spaces/voids.
Ducting a rangehood either through the roof or wall is required to meet compliance.
If a lazy installer allows the rangehood simply to blow into a ceiling space or void this may lead to problems such as:
- Odours in the home
- Poor function leading to build up of grease
- Attraction of rodents
- Damage to rangehood motors
- Void of warranty
- Possible void of home insurance
- Fire hazard
Recirculating rangehoods are systems that simply blow the smoke from the cooking process back into the room often with an inline carbon filter to neutralise the greasy air.
Running a system in this way is not recommended by Addison as this can result in a poor user experience for the client.
Addison installers are only permitted to install a system with a recirculating ducting system if either the rangehood they are replacing was already running in recirculation or if there is no reasonably practical way to exhaust the rangehood to the atmosphere.
Yes, an island rangehood or ceiling-mounted rangehood can be installed above an island cooktop.
If underfloor access is available you can even consider a downdraft style rangehood.
Island rangehood installation requires careful planning for ducting to ensure proper venting, as the ductwork must run through the ceiling. Ensure that the island hood is wider than the cooktop for maximum effectiveness.
If planning to install an island rangehood as part of your construction project, contact Addison sooner rather than later.
Some rangehood brands offer offboard motor models. Off board systems do not house the fan and motor inside of the rangehood body as is typical of a standard rangehood, but instead opt to situate the motor either in the ceiling space, on the roof or on an outside wall.
The benefit of an off board motor configuration is that it allows the customer to enjoy the power of a large effective motor while being able to experience an overall quieter experience as the motors are further away from the cooking area.
The required ducting really depends on the make and model of the rangehood.
