Replace downdraft ventilation with island range hood

6 years ago

I would like to replace downdraft ventilation with island range hood by using the same wire. The wire is placed inside the island where the downdraft ventilation is installed. I want re-wire that wire into above the ceiling where a new island range hood is installed. Have anyone experience with that special situation? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Any particular reason that you want to come off of the existing fan power, like maybe a switch in the island structure? I'm sure it's doable but probably easier to feed it from elsewhere. If you have an unfinished attic immediately above and an unfinished basement immediately below, it'll be simpler than otherwise. I recommend that you call in an electrician to get it evaluated.
