Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Dragon Vent venting range will work with all 150mm outlet rangehoods. If you have a 120, 195 or 200mm outlet we can supply a y-piece adaptor to a double inlet vent which will give the rangehood maximum flow.
The Dragon Vent will reduce the noise of your rangehood by increasing the flow rate which will then lower back pressure and restriction on the motor resulting in less motor noise.
Flies and insects getting inside rangehoods are a major issue in Australia. They commonly enter the home via standard mushroom style roof flumes that are open and don’t have the right (or any) ember mesh / pest guards in place.
The Dragon Vents venting range all come with enclosed mesh stopping any flies or vermin getting inside the system and are designed to stop ember intrusion during a bushfire.
A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) is a means of measuring the severity of a building’s potential exposure to ember attack, radiant heat and direct flame contact. It’s measured in increments of radiant heat (expressed in kilowatts/m2).
This is especially important when building a new home around bushfire prone areas such as bushland, parks, large gardens and in rural settings.
The standard Dragon Vent range for tin roofs comes in four main Colorbond colours (Surf Mist, Monument, Shale Grey and Dune) as well as black and terracotta for tiled roofs.

Our Mission
To provide Perth homes and builders with premium rangehood installation and venting solutions that improve indoor air quality, safety and long-term energy efficiency.
What We Stand For
At Home Venting Solutions, everything we do is built around one simple idea: do the job properly, and stand behind it.
We believe a rangehood system should do more than just remove cooking effluents — it should protect the home, improve air quality, operate quietly and efficiently, and last for years. That’s why we focus on the full installation, not just the appliance. From ducting and venting to the roof or the wall , every detail matters.
As a West Australian family-owned business, our reputation has been built job by job, home by home, over more than two decades. We work closely with builders, retailers and homeowners to make sure every installation is compliant, safe, and designed for the way people actually live and cook.
Our 8 technicians aren’t general trades — they are rangehood specialists. That means better airflow, lower noise, fewer call-backs and systems that perform exactly as they should from day one.
When you choose HVS, you’re choosing experience, accountability and a team that genuinely cares about doing it right.
