Installing kitchen ventilation

Quality Electrician are your local extractor fan specialist in the Bradford area. Taking great pride in long lasting installations representing the high quality work I deliver.

1) What most homeowners forget during a kitchen renovation.

Unfortunately, I’ve attended properties where homeowners have spent large sums of money on new kitchen fixtures. Worktops, appliances, lighting and flooring are important features but homeowners tend to completely overlook systems that remove heat, moisture, grease as well as lingering cooking odours. This system usually comes in the form of an extractor fan system paired with an extractor hood.

Neglecting poor ventilation design will lead to expensive and complex corrective work if a new kitchen has already been fitted. Customers end up regretting the importance of powerful and reliable ventilation systems until the end of kitchen renovation projects.

2) Benefits of installing kitchen ventilation.

I can't stress the advantages of kitchen ventilation installation. Constant cooking, smells, moisture and grease are a part of day to day life. Especially if you have a passion for cuisines and want to develop your culinary skills.

Installing ventilation systems with correctly placed ducts and vents will ensure higher extraction rates. This way air flow is increased and unwanted moisture, odours and grease can be expelled rather than settling on your brand new counter tops, tiles and cupboards.

Most modern households in Bradford, especially new build homes are designed with open plan kitchen areas. Unfortunately, poor ventilation is noticeable in open plan areas so installing kitchen ventilation is imperative.

You might have made the switch to induction hobs in a bid to keep an eye on utility bills. But did you know that induction hobs still produce steam and grease? That’s why ventilation systems need to be factored into the kitchen design plan at the earliest stage.

3) Why do you need an electrician for installing kitchen ventilation?

By working with an approved electrician, kitchen ventilation can be improved in an efficient and safe manner. As a competent electrician, I make sure all electrical work such as essential earthing when installing kitchen extractor fans meet safety standards.

If you want fresh, odour and moisture free air in your kitchen, I do recommend robust systems such as external ventilated extractor fans. These particular systems rely on correct ducting systems as well as sealant to make sure any excess moisture is extracted, all tasks I am experienced in having installed numerous extractor fans in Bradford.

If installing a new extractor fan system during major renovation work or a new kitchen extension, installation must comply with Building Codes to make sure specific airflow rates are met. As an NICEIC approved electrician, I can guarantee that all work adheres to BS7671.
