Range Hood - Questions
I'm undecided on whether I want an undercabinet professional vent hood or a chimney style range hood and I'm wondering whether the drilled vent hole will need to be a different height depending on the type and model I choose or whether the vent hole is just a standard height? I haven't decided on which range hood to go with and my builder requires me to give them some specs as it will alter the cabinetry work that will need be done for the kitchen. I'm planning on on eventually gutting and building a brand new kitchen and I just want to make sure that the vent hole is drilled at the right height. Furthermore, the builder wont' let me increase the duct size from 6" to 8". She mentioned there'll be too much negative pressure but I plan on doing it down the road when I redo the kitchen anyway. Anyone have thoughts on this as welL?
The builder also has the option of hooking the range hood to a dedicated switch on the panel. I'm wondering whether this is necessary or just a money grab.
