Tips for choosing a range hood with Reformia
Installing a range hood has a highly variable cost depending on whether there is a previous installation and the model. On average, it can cost around 700 €. Although replacing a simple appliance with a similar one would cost around 200 €, in the case of ceiling or pop-up hoods, that cost can rise well above 1.000 €.
1. Calculate the required power
Choosing a hood with sufficient power is a fundamental aspect so that it can properly evacuate vapors and odors generated while cooking. To calculate the appropriate power, you need to take into account the dimensions of the kitchen. The calculation is simple. Multiply the m² of the room by its height. The result is the m³, which you need to multiply by 6 (m³/h, which represents the air in circulation) to obtain the minimum power the hood should have and by 12 to obtain the maximum power.
2. Range hood decibels
Nowadays, most models pay great attention to noise levels, incorporating materials that dampen or absorb it. Still, it is an aspect worth considering. An excessively noisy hood can be very bothersome, especially because it must be kept on at all times while cooking. Typically, hoods operate in the range of about 40 decibels at minimum and 80 at maximum power. Whenever possible, it is best to choose a model that does not exceed 60 decibels.
3. Measurements and duct diameter
The surface area of the range hood is much more important than it might appear at first glance. Many domestic hood models have the same width as the cooktop, that is 60 centimeters. However, it is recommended that the appliance protrude at least 10 centimeters on each side. Only in this way is maximum absorption of fumes and odors guaranteed.
Installing a range hood has a highly variable cost depending on whether there is a previous installation and the model. On average, it can cost around 700 €. Although replacing a simple appliance with a similar one would cost around 200 €, in the case of ceiling or pop-up hoods, that cost can rise well above 1.000 €.

Steps to install a range hood
Installing a range hood has a highly variable cost depending on whether there is a previous installation and the model. On average, it can cost around 700 €. Although replacing a simple appliance with a similar one would cost around 200 €, in the case of ceiling or pop-up hoods, that cost can rise well above 1.000 €.
1. Assess your kitchen space and type
Before installing a range hood, it's essential to assess your kitchen space and determine the most suitable installation type. Consider ceiling height, proximity to external vents, and your kitchen style, as these factors directly influence the final price, which ranges from 150 € to 2,500 €.
2. Choose the right range hood model
Choose from different range hood models according to your needs and budget. Options range from conventional hoods at 900 € to premium built-in models at 2,100 €, including telescopic (1,300 €) and decorative (1,800 €) styles. Each type offers distinct advantages in performance and aesthetics.
3. Get quotes from professionals
Request detailed quotes from several professionals specializing in range hood installation. The average price is 1,325 €, but varies depending on the chosen model and installation complexity. Compare offers including materials, labor, and warranty to get the best value for money.
4. Prepare the installation and connections
Prepare your kitchen for installation by verifying existing electrical connections and planning the ventilation duct route. This stage is crucial to avoid costly changes later, especially for built-in hood installations (2,100 €) which require greater precision in measurements and connections.
What can change your final price
Even similar projects can end with different budgets. These are the factors that most often push costs up or down.
Type and model of range hood
Decorative or wall-mounted hoods are more affordable (200-400 €), while ceiling or island hoods can cost between 800-2,000 € or more. The size and extraction power also significantly influence the final price.
Installation complexity
If there's an existing hood, a simple replacement costs less (150-250 €). However, installing a new hood from scratch requires making ducts, reinforced brackets or electrical connections, which can increase costs by an additional 300-600 €.
Additional work required
Making holes in the facade, installing aluminum or PVC ducts, reinforcing furniture structure, or adapting the existing kitchen increases the budget. These tasks can add between 200-800 € depending on difficulty.
Accessibility and location
Kitchens with difficult access, renovations requiring furniture removal or working at height increase labor costs. Hoods in older homes or on upper floors can also increase installation costs by an additional 100-400 €.
How much does it cost to install a range hood? Types of hoods and budgets

Although replacing a simple appliance with a similar one would cost around 200 €, in the case of ceiling or pop-up hoods, that cost can rise well above 1.000 €.
The first thing we need to look at to answer the question of how much it costs to install a range hood is its type of operation. Mainly, two types of range hoods can be distinguished according to their operation:

Although replacing a simple appliance with a similar one would cost around 200 €, in the case of ceiling or pop-up hoods, that cost can rise well above 1.000 €.
According to their installation
The price of installing a range hood will also depend on its type of installation:
- Suction hoods: equipped with a duct connected to the exterior that normally extends up to the building's roof. They aspire the smoke generated in the kitchen, gases and odors and evacuate them outside. If you need to install this type of extractor in industrial kitchens, the duct must be fireproof and rise above the roof of the building or neighboring buildings if they are very close. In the case of domestic hoods, their price can start from 70 €, but design is decisive and there are models that can reach 1.000 €.
- Recirculation hoods: a type of range hood that does not need a smoke outlet. It uses a carbon filter through which the aspirated fumes pass and purifies the air before returning it to the room. Its great advantage is that no evacuation installation is necessary, but in exchange, they are less efficient in the case of odors. The most economical ones can cost around 60 €, however, those with more innovative and powerful designs can even reach 1.500 €.
- Built-in hoods: they are hidden in an upper cabinet, so they are very discreet. They allow you to use the space above the cooktop as storage space, making them very suitable for small kitchens. In addition to conventional ones, there are telescopic hoods (they open to provide more suction surface) or pop-up hoods (hidden behind the cooking area in the lower cabinets and rise when about to be used). The simplest models start at around 50 €, while pop-up hoods can exceed 700 €.
- Wall-mounted hoods: fixed to the wall above the cooking surface. Traditional models consist of an extractor parallel to the countertop and a trim piece that hides the evacuation duct. However, nowadays there are also slanted extractor models. The variety in sizes, shapes and materials is very large, as is the variety of prices, which start from 100 €, although designer models can reach 1.000 €.
Budget examples
The price to install a range hood is highly variable depending on the model, its design, its power and whether any type of renovation is needed:
- Island hoods: models suspended over kitchen islands. They are very decorative due to the wide variety of models available and because many of them have integrated lights that serve to illuminate the room. As for prices, they depend largely on the design and range between 300 € and 1.200 €.
- Ceiling hoods: the fundamental difference is that they are integrated into the false ceiling, remaining level with its surface, making them much more discreet than any other model, and also more powerful. Their installation, however, is more complicated. Their price ranges between 500 € and 1.500 €.
- Installing a conventional built-in 60 cm range hood can cost between 100 € - 120 € if there is already a pre-installation. In the case of a decorative stainless steel hood, the cost would rise to around 200 €. Labor alone would cost around 65 €.
- If it is necessary to remove an old hood, the labor cost would need to add about 25 €, although it will depend on the type of hood.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a range hood in Spain?
The average cost of installing a range hood in Spain is around 700 €, though it can vary significantly depending on the model and installation complexity. If you're simply replacing one standard hood with another similar model, the budget drops to about 200 €, while ceiling or pop-up hoods can easily exceed 1,000 €. You should also factor in the price of the unit itself, which typically ranges from 150 € to 1,500 € depending on the brand and features.
What factors affect the final installation price?
The price depends mainly on the hood type (wall-mounted, island, ceiling, or integrated), the brand and power of the unit, and whether additional work is needed such as new ducts or connections. The geographic location also matters, with higher costs in major cities like Madrid or Barcelona, and the complexity of the job itself—installing a hood in an older apartment may require structural adaptations. Finally, if you need to install or modify the exhaust outlet to the outside, this will significantly increase the final cost.
How long does it take to install a range hood?
Range hood installation is typically completed in a single working day, usually between 2 and 4 hours for standard work. However, if additional work is required such as creating new ducts, installing exterior outlets, or structural modifications, the time can extend to 1 or 2 days. In complex cases where coordination with other kitchen renovation work is needed, the process could stretch to a week.
Do I need permits to install a range hood?
In most cases, installing a range hood doesn't require special permits if there are no significant structural changes. However, if the installation involves creating new exterior outlets or modifying facades, it's advisable to consult with your local municipality, especially in apartment buildings where restrictions may apply. Some historic buildings or properties with special regulations may require prior authorization, so it's best to check before starting work.
How do I choose a qualified professional for the installation?
It's best to request quotes from several authorized installers or kitchen renovation companies, comparing prices and services offered. Verify that the professional has experience, references from previous clients, and offers a guarantee on the installation, typically 1 to 2 years. Make sure they provide a detailed quote listing all materials, labor, and any additional work that may be necessary.
