For construction professionals, installing a commercial-grade vent hood in residential projects is crucial for high-performance kitchens. These systems efficiently manage grease, smoke, and moisture, but understanding the installation costs is essential. Typically, costs range from $4,500 to $12,000, influenced by equipment size, duct routing, and local labor rates.
