Is Your Rangehood Fault Electrical?
If the fan and lights are both dead, or the rangehood trips the power, it's likely electrical. Poor suction usually isn't.
Many rangehoods plug into a power point in the cupboard above. Hardwired ones must be connected by a licensed electrician.
We test the supply and the unit, then give you a fixed price to repair or replace.

What the Rules Say About Rangehoods and Appliances
From Queensland's Electrical Safety Office and the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026.
Hardwired Means an Electrician
You can buy hardwired appliances, but they must be connected by a licensed electrician.
Repairs and New Power Points
Repairing an electrical appliance and installing a new power point are both electrical work. They need a licensed electrician.
Damaged Means Don't Use It
Damaged equipment shouldn't be used. Contact the authorised service agent, or have a licensed electrician examine and repair it.
A Tingle Is a Warning
Call Energex on 13 19 62 straight away. Don't touch the switchboard, appliances or metal fixtures such as taps. Get medical advice even if you feel fine.
No Safety Switch on the Power Points
With limited exceptions, an electrician can't do installation work in a home with no safety switch on the power points unless the job includes fitting one.

What Sets the Price of Rangehood Work
We test before we price. These are the things that move the number.
- Repair or new install. A failed switch differs from a full replacement.
- Plug-in or hardwired. Hardwired units need disconnecting and reconnecting.
- Parts. Whether parts for your model are available.
- Power supply. A new power point or circuit if there isn't one.
- Access. Cabinetry and hood design can make the connection harder to reach.
- Safety switch. Homes without one may need it fitted first.

Rangehood FAQ
Questions Gold Coast homeowners ask us about rangehoods.
Why is my rangehood not working?
Start at the supply. If the fan and lights are both dead, check the switchboard for a tripped breaker or safety switch and reset it once. If it trips again or nothing comes on, the cause is often the power point, isolator or a connection. If only the fan or only the lights fail, the fault is more likely inside the rangehood. Don't open the casing. Call an electrician.
Do I need an electrician to install a rangehood?
If it's hardwired, yes. Queensland's Electrical Safety Office says hardwired appliances must be connected by a licensed electrician, and installing a new power point is electrical work too. If there's already a suitable power point in the cupboard above, a plug-in rangehood can simply be plugged in. We connect hardwired rangehoods and add a power point where one is needed.
Should I repair my rangehood or replace it?
It depends on the fault and the parts. A fault at the power point or a connection is often a simple fix. If the fault is inside the rangehood, such as the motor or controls, it depends on parts for your model, and an older unit can cost more to fix than to replace. Still under warranty? Check with the manufacturer first. We test first and tell you which makes sense.
Why does my rangehood trip the safety switch?
Often current is leaking to earth inside the rangehood, from moisture, a failing motor or damaged wiring. The safety switch is doing its job. Reset it once. If it trips again when the rangehood runs, stop using it and leave it off. Don't keep resetting it. We test the rangehood and its circuit to find the cause, then quote the repair.
My rangehood fan hums but won't spin. What's wrong?
A hum with no spin often points to a failed run capacitor, a seized motor or a control fault. The motor is getting power but can't start, so it can heat up. Switch the rangehood off and stop using it. We test the unit and its supply, and tell you whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the better option before any work starts.
How much does rangehood installation or repair cost?
It depends on the job, so we don't price it over the phone. The main factors are whether it's a repair or a new install, whether the rangehood is plug-in or hardwired, the parts your model needs, and whether a new power point or circuit is required. We test on site, then give you one fixed price before work starts. You pay on completion by EFTPOS.
Can I replace a rangehood myself?
Not the electrical part. In Queensland, repairing an electrical appliance, installing a new power point and connecting a hardwired appliance are all electrical work for a licensed electrician. The Electrical Safety Office warns that if illegal electrical work causes a fire, your insurer may refuse the claim. We disconnect the old rangehood, connect the new one and test it.
Can you connect a bigger or more powerful rangehood?
Usually, on the electrical side. A bigger rangehood may need a power point in a new spot or a hardwired connection, and we check the circuit can carry it. Cabinetry and ducting changes are work for other trades, so sort those out separately. We quote the electrical work at a fixed price before it starts.
