Good Afternnon... My house is about 50 plus years old and we have been working on the kitchen from hell... We are about to complete the drywall but there is one spot I have issues with. THere is a fan vent that has no fan si it is just a door to the outside. I want to install a hood vent that will vent outside so can I use the existing hole or do I need to make a new one... LMK Joseph
Depending on the placement and size of the 'door' (and if I'm understanding you correctly), I would think you could use it. Just look for a hood that has a 'wall mount' vent - most will have that option - and make sure to use an approve bit of vent pipe and put on a vent outlet cover that will keep the birds out. After all, most range hoods will just vent to a hole to the outside - it's just dressed up with a nice cover and vent pipe.
