Anyone had a range hood with ducts through the ceiling added where there was no duct or hood before? The above the stove microwave has a built in circulating ductless fan with carbon filters but it's really useless. We'd obviously have to remove the microwave and go to a countertop model.
Suggestions for who does this kind of work and recent cost? Not looking for a kitchen remodel just a ducted hood over the stove. I am assuming it can be ducted straight up to and through the roof assuming there is no roof supports in the way or any building code against that. No access to outside wall just UP. It's the "usual" stove with above stove mounted microwave configuration. |
I have the same problem, sensitivity to certain foods cooking. Beef, toast, eggs with pepper, sesame oil, the list goes on and on. My other half has a hard time cooking as sometimes the smells cause me to have head aches or I can't breathe.
The no outside exhaust is a problem. I use an ion air filter to radicate them and open doors. It's a pain in the arse sometimes and I feel bad for my spouse.
We bought a moveable induction cooktop to cook on the porch or in the garage. I wish they did put stove top vents up thru the attic like bathroom vents when building these houses. That would be a dream come true.
