How high should the range hood be installed

What height do you need?

Determining the proper height for your rangehood is a simple matter as long as you know the height of your ceiling.  Let say for example that your ceilings are 9ft high, that’s 108 inches.  You would then take the total 108 inches and deduct 36 inches for the height of your range leaving you 72 inches.  Then you will need to determine how high you would like your range hood off of your cooktop.  Modern-Aire recommends hanging your vent hood 30-34 inches above the cooking surface for optimal performance, so let’s just say that you have decided to hang it 33 inches above the cooking surface. You have 72 inches remaining, so deduct the 33 inches for the distance between your cooking surface and the bottom of your range hood and you now have a total hood height of 39 inches.
