Cooker Hood Installation Service

Services Details

Installing a cooker hood in Singapore can seem like a big task, but with the right steps, it becomes more manageable. A cooker hood is an important part of your kitchen because it helps remove grease, moisture, fumes, and heat from the air. This keeps your kitchen air clean, reduces the risk of mold, and improves overall safety. Whether you choose a chimney style, inclined, or slim cooker hood, the installation process generally follows the same basic steps.

If you’re not confident in your DIY skills, hiring a professional cooker hood installation service is a smart choice. Professionals have the experience and tools needed to install your cooker hood properly, ensuring it works efficiently and safely. However, if you prefer to do it yourself, following a clear guide can help you get the job done.

Location Settings & Measurements

Before you begin the installation, it’s crucial to take accurate measurements of your cooker hood, including its width, depth, and height. These measurements should match the dimensions of your stove and the space where the cooker hood will be mounted, either on the ceiling or wall. Ideally, the cooker hood should completely cover the cooking surface and extend about three inches on each side for optimal performance.

Drilling

Next, you’ll need to drill holes for the vent and wiring. Before drilling, mark the spots where you’ll be drilling with a pencil or marker. This helps ensure accuracy. Make sure to use the right drill bit for the type of wall you have. For instance, a masonry drill bit is ideal for brick or concrete walls. Using a sharp and clean drill bit will make the process smoother and more efficient.

Mounting the Cooker Hood

Once the holes are ready, you can move on to mounting the cooker hood. Before securing it in place, double-check the wiring and ducting system. Use electrical tape and wire nuts to secure the wires, and clamps or duct tape to secure the ducts. Reassemble the electrical box, filter, and fan, and then mount the cooker hood. Tighten the screws or bolts with a screwdriver to ensure the hood is level and stable.

Power Supply and Duct Work

The cooker hood needs to be connected to a power supply that matches its voltage and wattage requirements. For the ducting system, it’s best to keep it as short and straight as possible. This reduces noise and improves energy efficiency. The ducting system connects the cooker hood to the outside vent, allowing the hood to effectively remove pollutants from your kitchen. After connecting the power supply and ductwork, pull them through the holes you drilled earlier.

Post Cooker Hood Installation Cleaning

After installation, you’ll likely have some dust and debris to clean up. Use a vacuum or sweep the area around the cooker hood to remove dirt and dust. If you find any stubborn stains, such as grease or oil, you can use a mixture of bicarbonate soda and white vinegar to clean them. A microfiber cloth is ideal for cleaning the surfaces without scratching them.
