Hi, My name is Jason Sooter, I am new the group. I think I am going to
love it though because it is right up my ally. Anyway here is my first
question.

I am installing a vent-a-hood in a kitchen for my in-laws. Installing
it normally would be no problem except for a special part that she
wants. I am reasonably good at wiring but just for the normal stuff. I
normally don't do anything that is special though. Anyway to keep an
open feel in the kitchen the hood is installed somewhat high over a
peninsula. She is short so she wants a switch on the wall for the
light and fan separately even though it has buttons on the actual
hood. So I just need to know how to wire that correctly such as what
gauge wire to use and if there is any special things I need to do. Do
the fan and lights both run off of 120 or is there a voltage change in
between the house power and the fan and lights. Thanks for all the
help.

Hi,
They run on 120V. If you want to, you can even do it wirelessly
imagination is the only limit. Or pull cord is not an option?

120 volts. The fan is probaly multi-speed. You could buy a switch
just like the one in the hood now, mount it on a blank wall plate, and
run 3 conductor 12 gauge romex up to the range hood. That will do two
speed like mine is, but if they come in tree speeds also, you could
use two 2-conductor 12 guage romex. You'll have to disconnect the
swtich that is there now (unless you only have on/off on the wall, and
use the switch that is there now to decide the speed. Personally, I
wouldn't want to have only on/off on the wall, because I use the high
speed when I must, and the rest of the time the low speed. The high
speed makes audible noise and I hate that. I'd hate it more if I
spent more time in the kitchen, or if I were short and coudln't turn
it down.)
