BBQ Rangehoods are our specialty we take great pride delivering our skills to you and your outdoor area!

Alfresco BBQ rangehoods play a crucial role in every outdoor kitchen. They not only enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide lighting for cooking but also effectively eliminate harmful smoke, gases, and cooking byproducts from the area. This function helps prevent grease from staining your ceilings and walls, which can lead to damage.

At Home Venting Solutions, we are committed to providing you with a rangehood solution for your outdoor space that not only looks impressive as a centerpiece but also operates efficiently. Our tested venting systems ensures that all rangehoods function without any restrictions, resulting in reduced noise levels and minimal strain on the motor.

In today’s diverse environments, we often come across various outdoor patios and ceiling heights, which present unique challenges in meeting regulatory requirements. This includes considerations for achieving appropriate heights, venting solutions, mounting locations, and different types of splash backs. Consequently, it is advantageous to engage in careful planning when arranging for the installation of an outdoor rangehood.

Should you have any questions or wish to share pictures and plans of your home for discussion about your installation, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Wall Canopy Alfresco Rangehoods 

Our wall canopy alfresco rangehoods are available in widths of 1200mm and 1500mm, with a depth ranging from 600mm to 800mm. This depth is crucial when selecting your alfresco rangehood, as it allows for optimal positioning forward from the wall, providing increased coverage over the BBQ’s cooking surface. Some BBQs feature a deep hooded lid, and when this lid is open, it can obstruct the rangehood, potentially leading to reduced performance.

The recommended installation height for the rangehood is 1200mm above the cooking surface, ensuring an unobstructed path from the BBQ to the rangehood filter area. Additionally, external factors such as wind can affect the rangehood’s efficiency.

We encourage you to consult with our team before finalising your BBQ rangehood installation plans. This will ensure that all relevant factors are considered in creating the most effective installation strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

In order to properly install BBQ rangehoods, a clearance height of 1200mm above the cooking surface is required. To determine whether you have sufficient space for installation, please follow the steps outlined below:

  • Measure the height from the floor to the ceiling.
  • Subtract the height from the floor to the cooking surface.
  • Subtract an additional 1200mm, which is the required height for the rangehood installation.
  • The remaining measurement will indicate the available space for the rangehood.
  • For instance, in a standard 2.4m (2400mm) ceiling, if you deduct 900mm for the cooktop and 1200mm for the rangehood height, you will be left with approximately -310mm. This indicates that very few rangehoods will fit within this space. Please contact us for further information regarding available options.

BBQ Rangehoods: A height of no less than 1200mm is required from rangehood filters to the cooktop surface according to Energy Safety regulation standards.

Rangehood heights are created in case of a fire on a cooktop stove or barbecue to prevent fire spreading to the rangehood. Keep in mind some brands of rangehoods also have a maximum performance height. It is always best to talk to one of our professionals about your type of rangehood and the application to determine the correct height.

A rangehood is essential and highly recommended for all kitchen and barbecue cooking to exhaust smoke, oils, and other cooking by products. Improved air quality protects the health of your friends and family and prevents staining in your homes walls and ceilings.

Installing any rangehood requires a trained rangehood professional. For example, if a kitchen rangehood was to fall off a wall and land on hot cooking equipment it could lead to serious injury. Some BBQ rangehoods can be up to 80kg and sometimes require strengthening the wall to accommodate the additional weight. Additionally, without the installation being completed by a trained professional you are at risk of voiding your warranty on the appliance.

Most other trades would not be able to provide or install the correct venting system for the rangehood witch result in having two trades to complete the job or have the wrong venting kit installed to the rangehood causing poor performance.

Rangehoods are installed in many different ways depending on the application. Some rangehoods called island or roof mounted canopies hang from the ceiling, whilst other rangehoods are inserted into the cabinets or mounted on the wall, with the wall canopy being the most common. It is always best to get our trained professionals to advise you on your rangehood install to ensure it’s not only installed and positioned correctly but vented correctly too.
