Ventilation complications in the kitchen

Ventilation complications in the kitchen

Nick October 1, 2022

My family doesn’t go out to eat particularly often.

  • I live with my wife, plus our more than two kids, but her parents also live with us.

Taking 7 people out for a nice lunch is shockingly extravagant these afternoons, which means all of our huge meals are made right here at home. Thankfully my wife plus her father are both amazing cooks, so the meals typically taste great. A few weeks ago both of us started having problems with the ventilation idea in the kitchen. The HVAC ducts leading out of the range hood were so old plus dirty they were basically useless. I tried my hand at cleaning the HVAC duct, but when pieces of it started chopping off in my hands I knew both of us needed professional help. It turned out that the HVAC duct in the kitchen was as old as the house, meaning it was 40 years old. The house itself is still in amazing condition, but the HVAC duct should have been substituted several years ago. Sadly, the cost to have the HVAC ducts in the kitchen substituted was more than I anticipated. The Heating plus Air Conditioning supplier I worked with gave me a payment plan, so I could pay for half the cost up front, plus make daily payments on the balance. It only took him a single day to remove the range hood, take out the HVAC ducts plus air vents, plus substitute everything with brand current device plus parts. The current ventilation idea in the kitchen was a hefty expense, but considering how much both of us cook at home, I prefer to suppose of it as an investment.
