I am looking for a range hood that will work with my existing venting (hole in the wall over the range). My last range hood was the under-cabinet version (cheapest Canadian Tire version ever to be imagined) with the back venting into the hole in the wall. I want to upgrade to something prettier that is also functional, but I'm tied to that hole in the wall, as I don't want to make a second, higher hole in the wall and don't want to vent up two floors to the roof. I don't know enough about the terminology of range hoods to know what to ask for...Is filling my vent hole and making another one a big deal?
Do you guys get what I'm talking about? Can you suggest anything nicer than the standard under the cabinet vent hood?
I thought I'd found one at Costco. It was the chimney type of range hood and had two options for venting (up through roof or out through back, but higher up than my back vent hole) and one unsuitable option. Naturally, I have the unsuitable option. !@#$%^& That's what I said when I saw the options. :)
Sorry for the convoluted description. I wish I knew the right range-hood vocabulary.... Am I doomed to the standard under-cabinet back-venting hood that has no style? Thanks for ANY help.
