You'll need the hood unit, ducting (6–10 ft), a damper, fasteners, brackets, sealant, and possibly electrical wire if no outlet exists nearby. NailIt breaks down each cost based on your kitchen size.
Yes—flexible aluminum duct is cheaper ($30–$60) than rigid steel, but rigid ductwork performs better. Factor in your budget and space constraints when choosing materials.
