Kitchen ventilation problems we fix in Bartlett
Range hood trouble shows up in different ways: a fan that won't start, a hood that roars but barely pulls, filters that drip, or no hood at all. Our Bartlett crews handle all three kinds of fix and start by figuring out which one your kitchen needs.
No hood over the range
If your stove sits under bare cabinets, we can install a hood and a new duct to the outside.
Range Hood Installation →Hood that only recirculates
If your hood blows air back at you through a charcoal filter, venting it outside makes a real difference. We check the route first.
Range Hood Installation →Hood lights out
Dead hood lights are usually a bulb, socket or switch. We replace the right part for your hood.
Range Hood Repair →Cold draft from the hood
A backdraft damper stuck open lets outside air drop into the kitchen. We clean or replace it.
Range Hood Repair →New range, old hood
When the range gets bigger, the hood and often the duct should too. We size both to the new cooktop.
Range Hood Installation →Hood that vents into the attic
An old hood dumping into the attic puts grease and moisture into the framing. We carry the duct through to the outdoors.
Range Hood Installation →Fan stopped working
Most fans that stop are repairable with a new switch, board or motor.

Kitchen Ventilation & Range Hoods questions from Bartlett homeowners
Do I need makeup air for a big hood in Bartlett?
If the hood is large enough, makeup air may be required. We look up the Bartlett rules for your address.
Ducted or ductless: which is better?
Venting outside works better. Ductless is the option for condos or kitchens with no path out.
What type of professional installs a range hood?
It's a mix of carpentry, duct work and an electrical hookup. We do the mounting and ducting and bring in an electrician when needed.
Should I repair or replace my range hood?
One broken part: repair. A hood that never did its job: replace.
Do I need a permit for a new range hood?
It depends on the work; new ductwork is what usually triggers a permit.
What does Bartlett ask for on electrical work?
Electrical work must be performed by a contractor registered with the Village as a licensed electrical contractor (stated in solar guide). New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.

Permits go through Building Division (Planning & Development Services), phone 630-540-5920. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.

All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
