5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Old Rangehood
Your rangehood works hard to keep your kitchen fresh, but like any appliance, it doesn’t last forever. Wondering if it’s time to upgrade? Here are five clear signs you should replace your rangehood.

1. It’s Too Loud
If your rangehood sounds like a jet engine even on low speed, the motor may be wearing out. Modern rangehoods are designed to be much quieter.
2. Poor Suction Power
If smoke, steam, and odours linger in your kitchen, your rangehood isn’t doing its job. Weak airflow usually means a failing motor or blocked ducting.
3. Grease Everywhere
If grease is building up around your cooktop and cabinets despite regular filter cleaning, your rangehood is no longer effective.
4. Broken Lights or Controls
When lights, switches, or fans stop working, repairs may cost more than replacing the unit — especially if it’s an older model.
5. Outdated Design
Old rangehoods can be bulky and inefficient. A modern undermount or canopy rangehood offers better performance and style.
