The finish electrical isn't yet finished, but we made progress this afternoon. We got one of the two oven bays properly outletted (the one that's scheduled for Wednesday delivery). We got the pop-up outlet on the peninsula installed and powered up. Those were the easy parts.<\/p>\n

The range hood remains a thorny issue. Moving the power outlet to the upper area wasn't a huge problem — take down (break) one of the designer tiles, cut a hole, reach down to pull up the wires, easy-peasy.<\/p>\n

The complication is with how to have this arrangement work with the make-up air powered assembly down in the basement. Apparently (talking with the electrician) this is (a) a common issue, as house building codes are requiring make-up air for ventilation changes in the house; in our town, any range hood installed over 300 CFM requires one.<\/p>\n

But, (b) the hood manufacturers aren't keeping up with that need, and range hoods sold for the home, including ones that are at a higher level (ours is significantly<\/i> higher, but the range we are getting recommends at least 600 CFM) aren't yet coming with control wiring or automatic switches for that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

So the "normal" thing to do has been to find someone in the contractor chain (usually electrical, sometimes HVAC) to hardwire the power cable in to the hood switch. Which voids the warranty, and comes with no warranty of its own not to kill everyone in the house with fire some day.<\/p>\n

Our GC called the hood manufacturer, and they actually have an add-on kit to take care of this problem — something that neither our electrician or the GC had ever heard of, that is not mentioned at all in the hood installation guide, and that our appliance vendor apparently didn't know about either. The trick there<\/i> is that it has a control cable going from the hood setup that has to go down to the basement where the make-up air opening mechanism is set up, which is not impossible but is certainly non-trivial.<\/p>\n

We're still pondering the options, and will make a decision next week.<\/p>\n

But, still … progress!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
