What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
The length and shape of the run
Every elbow costs airflow and every foot of flexible duct costs more than a foot of rigid. A hood rated for a short straight run and given a long one with three bends is doing its best and it is not enough. Measuring that is the job.
-
The damper
A backdraft damper stuck shut with grease, or a wall cap whose flaps have seized, stops a healthy hood dead. It is the single cheapest fix on this list and it is checked early for that reason.
-
Make-up air
A powerful hood in a tight modern house has nowhere to draw replacement air from, and it will not move what it is rated to move. This is a real finding rather than an excuse, and it is explained rather than charged for.
-
Filters
Baffle and mesh filters loaded with grease are a restriction. They are washable and it is worth knowing that before booking anybody, because sometimes that is the whole answer.
The work itself
What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

from $145 Range hood ducting & airflow service
The hood runs, the kitchen still fills with steam, and nothing about the appliance is broken. This is the most under-diagnosed job on the site: a hood is a blower, a filter and a path, and three of the four things that stop it working are not in the hood at all.
- The whole path checked — filter, duct, damper, cap
- Airflow measured rather than judged by how it sounds
- A straight answer where the installation, not the appliance, is the problem

About Bertazzoni range hood ducting & airflow service cost
Why the appliance is usually innocent
A hood is rated in a laboratory against a short, straight, rigid duct. Real kitchens rarely give it one. Add a long horizontal run, three elbows, a length of flexible duct that has been crushed behind a cabinet, a wall cap with seized flaps and a house tight enough that no air can get back in, and a hood that is mechanically perfect will clear almost nothing. None of that is repaired by replacing the motor, which is exactly why so many people end up doing that and getting the same result.
What moves it
Whether the duct is reachable. A damper at a wall cap is minutes; a crushed run inside a soffit is a different conversation and you will be told before anything is opened.
What is included
Airflow measured rather than judged, the run and the termination inspected, the damper freed or replaced, filters cleaned, and a written explanation of what the hood can actually achieve where it is. Exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic.

Before you book
Questions about bertazzoni range hood ducting & airflow service cost
The fan sounds strong but the kitchen still fills with steam. Which page is mine?
This one. A hood that sounds right and clears nothing is describing a duct problem almost every time — the motor is doing its job and the air is not going anywhere.
Can I clean the filters myself?
Yes, and please do — hot water, degreaser, and dry them fully before they go back. Baffle filters go in the dishwasher. Doing that every few weeks prevents most of what appears on both hood pages.
Will you tell me my hood is fine and charge me anyway?
We will tell you it is fine, and you will pay for the visit that established it and for whatever we corrected in the duct. What you will not get is a motor you did not need.
