On the labor we performed
What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Baffle condition
Dishwasher safe by design. Saturated, they are the whole problem.
-
The duct run
Length, crushes, elbows added after installation. Measured, not assumed.
-
The damper and cap
A seized backdraft damper and a greased roof cap undo a healthy blower.
-
Whether the capture tray needs doing
Behind the baffles, messier, and needed a few times a year.
-
Whether it turns out to be the blower
Where the path is genuinely clear, that is the other page.

What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

from $175 Hood filter and duct service
Faded suction with a motor that still sounds fine is almost never the motor. Baffle filters with a grease capture system are dishwasher safe, and the 600 CFM figure is specified against an unobstructed six-inch duct — eight on the inserts. Most of this job is the air path.
- Baffles cleaned or replaced first, because it costs nothing to rule out
- Duct run, damper and termination measured rather than assumed
- Airflow verified after the work, not promised

About La Cornue hood filter and duct service cost
Why this matters to the range, not just the room
Grease the hood does not catch goes onto the cabinets, the ceiling and eventually into the cabinet under the cooktop where the induction generator lives — and the one error code La Cornue documents, E2, is about electronics getting too hot. A hood at half its rated flow is therefore not only a comfort problem; it shortens the life of the most expensive electronic assembly in the range. Which is why the hood is part of the annual maintenance visit rather than something to look at when somebody complains.

Questions about La Cornue hood filter and duct service cost
How often should baffles be cleaned?
Over this range, every four to six weeks with real use, monthly if you grill or use the plaque regularly. They go in the dishwasher, which is the point of baffles over mesh. The channels and capture tray want doing a few times a year. If yours have been done twice a year, the hood has been running well below its rating for most of its life.
Would a bigger blower fix weak suction?
Rarely, and it is usually the wrong money. A 600 CFM blower against a restricted duct does not improve by getting bigger — the restriction limits the flow, and a bigger fan against the same restriction is louder rather than stronger. Fix the path and measure it.
