Rangehood Installation In Melbourne
Blunt’s Electrical install and replace rangehoods across Melbourne. We handle the electrical connection, safe isolation, testing, and tidy installation of customer-supplied kitchen rangehoods.
A neatly installed rangehood helps finish off the kitchen properly, with safe electrical connection, tidy workmanship, and practical advice if the new unit needs cabinetry or ducting changes.
Service areas:
We service most Melbourne suburbs including Richmond, Kew, Hawthorn, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Balwyn, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Burwood, Toorak, Camberwell, Glen Iris & many more.
About Our Rangehood Installation
Most rangehood installations involve safely disconnecting the existing unit, fitting the new customer-supplied rangehood, connecting it to power, and testing the appliance before we leave.
We install common domestic kitchen rangehoods including slide-out, canopy, undermount and fixed rangehoods, depending on the existing cabinetry, ducting setup, appliance size and manufacturer requirements.
We generally do not supply appliances, but we can install suitable customer-supplied rangehoods and advise if the electrical side of the installation needs extra work.
Your Rangehood Options
Replace An Existing Rangehood
If your old rangehood is faulty, noisy, damaged or outdated, we can replace it with a suitable customer-supplied unit where the new model fits the existing space and electrical setup.
Install A New Rangehood
If you are installing a rangehood in a new location, we can assess the electrical requirements and advise what is involved. New installations may require additional wiring or coordination with cabinetry and ducting work.
Customer-Supplied Rangehoods
We generally install customer-supplied rangehoods rather than supplying the appliance. This lets you choose the model, finish, size and features that suit your kitchen.
Before booking, it helps to have the make and model available so we can check the installation style, electrical requirements and whether the new rangehood is likely to suit the existing space.
Rangehoods We Install
Slide-Out Rangehoods
Replacement and installation of common slide-out kitchen rangehoods.
Canopy Rangehoods
Wall-mounted canopy style rangehood installation and replacement.

Our Process
We keep rangehood installations practical and clear. The exact scope depends on the existing unit, the new rangehood, the cabinetry, ducting and available power.
Typical installation includes:
Check the existing rangehood and confirm the installation setup
Safely isolate power before disconnecting the existing unit
Remove or disconnect the old rangehood where suitable
Fit the new customer-supplied rangehood to the existing location where compatible
Connect the rangehood electrically to the existing or new power supply
Test operation including lights, fan speeds and controls
Clean up the work area and leave the kitchen tidy
Cabinetry changes, ducting changes, plastering, tiling and appliance supply are not included unless specifically arranged.
Important Things To Check
Does The New Rangehood Fit?
The new rangehood needs to suit the existing opening, cupboard space and mounting arrangement. If the new unit is a different size, cabinetry changes may be required by others.
Is There Existing Ducting?
Some rangehoods are ducted outside, while others recirculate through filters. If ducting needs to be altered, installed or repaired, that may require additional trade work.
Is Power Available?
Many replacements can use the existing electrical connection, but some installations may require additional wiring or changes to the power point or connection point.
Do You Have The Manual?
The manufacturer’s installation manual helps confirm clearances, fixing requirements and electrical connection details for the specific rangehood model.
Other Kitchen Appliance Installation
If you are upgrading your kitchen, we can also help with cooktop installation and oven installation. These pages are kept separate so the information matches the appliance you need installed.
For most kitchen appliance jobs, customers supply the appliance and we complete the electrical installation, connection, testing and safety checks where suitable.

Quick FAQs
Do You Supply Rangehoods?
No, we generally do not supply appliances. We install suitable customer-supplied rangehoods and complete the electrical connection and testing where required.
Can You Replace My Existing Rangehood?
Yes, if the new rangehood is suitable for the existing space, power supply and installation setup.
Can You Modify Cabinetry?
No. Cabinetry changes, cupboard modifications, cutting, plastering or tiling are usually handled by others.
Can You Do The Ducting?
We can check the existing setup, but new ducting or major ducting alterations may need to be completed by a suitable trade depending on the job.
Do I Need An Electrician To Install A Rangehood?
If the rangehood needs electrical connection, disconnection, wiring changes or safe testing, a licensed electrician should complete that part of the work.
