What DuPage County does
to a range hood.

Where range hoods sit in DuPage County: older housing stock, custom hoods and inserts, family houses.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Older kitchens were wired long before anyone hung a powered hood, and a hood that trips a breaker or dims its lights may share a circuit with half the kitchen; the supply is measured before the hood is opened.

Custom hoods and inserts

A pro-style burner surface of 36 or 48 inches sends far more heat and grease upward than a standard one, and the hood above it needs a blower sized to match, a duct to carry the air and, in a tight house, make-up air behind it.

Family houses

Daily cooking loads grease filters within weeks, and a hood that has grown loud and weak is usually choked there; clean filters restore the pull, and a blower still straining afterward is the next suspect.
