Pricing guide

Cost is driven mainly by whether the hood is ducted to an existing vent or needs new ducting and penetrations, since new penetrations add substantial labour and materials. Recirculating (filter‑only) installs are generally less material‑ and labour‑intensive, while who supplies the appliance, site access and any after‑hours attendance can also affect the final quote.

  • Type of ventilation system

    Ducted systems that require new ducting or penetrations typically involve more labour and materials than recirculating, filter‑based installs.

  • Existing duct and exit points

    If an existing duct penetration is serviceable and diameters match, installers can usually work with simple adaptors and fewer materials.

  • New roof or wall penetrations

    Cutting new penetrations requires flashings, cowls and sealing (and sometimes fire‑stopping), which increases scope compared with using existing exits.

  • Who supplies the appliance

    Homeowners often supply the rangehood while installers typically provide basic ducting and fixings, but some providers may offer to supply the unit.

  • Access, height and timing

    Difficult roof access or the need for scaffolding or lifts increases labour and logistics, and after‑hours attendance usually attracts a higher rate.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed installer?
This work requires a licensed ventilation specialist, as indicated by the licensing requirement. It's reasonable to confirm their licence and ask what compliance documentation they will provide.
Will you need to cut holes in my roof?
If the job can use an existing, serviceable duct exit then no new roof or wall penetrations are usually needed. If new ducting or penetrations are required, installers typically cut openings, fit flashings and seal the penetration where accessible.
Who normally supplies the rangehood unit?
Often the homeowner supplies the rangehood while the installer supplies basic ducting, fixings and electrical reconnection. Some installers may offer to supply the appliance, so it's best to confirm this when getting quotes.
How does complexity affect installation time?
Installation time typically depends on complexity: recirculating installs are usually quicker, while new ducting, penetrations or difficult access add time. Your installer should outline the expected scope once they assess the site.

Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to ventilation specialists — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
