Range hood added and electric range replaced
HomeCloud added a new range hood under the cabinets and replaced the old electric range with a new stainless steel range.
Light bulbs that are out under the range hood or microwave are among the most common appliance findings, and the simplest to fix.
The bigger concerns are exhaust fans that don't work and vents that empty into the attic or a cabinet instead of outside. Both leave cooking moisture and grease in the house.

What affects the price
- Venting outside
- Fixing a hood that vents into the attic or a cabinet means running a duct to an outside wall or the roof. That's the biggest job on this page.
- Repair or replace
- A microwave that doesn't heat is usually replaced, so the new unit's price drives the cost.
- Over-the-range microwaves
- These hang from a wall bracket above the range and take two people to remove and install safely.
