Quality Range Hoods?

**hank mavery** · 06-18-2012, 10:33 PM

Hello,

Starting to search for a good range hood under $300 (if they exist). Hoping to get recommendations for manufacturer names.

This home is all electric, no fuel burning appliances.

Thanks in Advance

Just bought one... Broan Evolution QP2 in stainless http://www.broan.com/display/router....oductID=100753 around $350.

The Broan Allure III is my standard hood.

Some Broan fans that I like call for ducting that is 7" round.

The local supply house only sells 2' lengths of 7" round galvanized duct.

Is this typical or do I need to go to a bigger town to find longer lengths?

Thanks,
Hank

I installed a 7"-->8" transition right above the hood and ran 8" up and out. I don't know that I've ever seen a 7" wall cap or roof cap, although there must be at least a few kinds available. There are many options in 8".

Short sections means more seams and more seam sealing. I plan to install the 7" duct inside of insulated flex duct, but I will still want to seal the seams.

Not sure if you have an Excelsior near you;

They have 7" x 10' sections.

the BORG and others should have 4' sections of 7" duct.
