What San Francisco does
to a range hood.

Where range hoods sit in San Francisco: galley and condo kitchens, older housing stock, custom hoods and inserts.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Galley and condo kitchens

Galley kitchens often have no path outside for a duct, and a recirculating hood there depends on grease filters and a charcoal filter changed on time; when both are overdue the fan runs loud and the air stays heavy.

Older housing stock

In plaster-and-lath walls a heavy chimney hood needs its bracket in solid framing, and one that has begun to lean away from the wall is not cooked under until a technician has fastened it again.

Custom hoods and inserts

A designed kitchen hides the hood's working part, an insert or liner, inside a canopy built to match the cabinetry, and a repair reaches the blower and the board from below without disturbing the plaster, wood or tile around it.

Marina

Marina apartments from the 1920s and 1930s rarely planned a kitchen duct, so many hoods here recirculate through charcoal, and in this seismic zone a heavy chimney hood is checked for loosened screws after any strong tremor.

Noe Valley

Row houses sharing side walls leave only the back wall or the roof for a hood duct, so many family kitchens here run an under-cabinet range hood through a short roof run, where a flap that sticks lets cold fog air fall in.

Pacific Heights

Kitchens in these Victorian and Edwardian houses were rebuilt long after the houses themselves, so a range hood here often vents through a side wall into the narrow gap between buildings, where its wall cap takes the fog's damp.

Presidio Heights

Presidio Avenue divides this small, affluent enclave from Pacific Heights, and the Presidio's parklands lie just across Pacific Avenue to the north.

Russian Hill

Russian Hill takes its name from a small Russian cemetery that gold rush settlers found at its summit.

Sea Cliff
