Only 1 range hood specialist listed in Maryland
That is 8th of the 16 states with any, against 6 in California. Range hood work is a narrower speciality than the everyday kitchen and laundry calls, so coverage is thin in most states. 15 other appliance businesses are listed in Maryland, and general technicians will often take this work once they know the model. Have the model number ready when you call.
What the listings say about range hood repair in Maryland
Counted from the 1 profile above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Maryland holds a single listed range hood repair business, out of 24 nationwide. That ranks 8th of the 16 states with any, level with Illinois and behind California on 6. It is 1 of the 16 businesses listed in Maryland — 6% of the state directory.
It carries a 4.9 rating, against 4.7 across all 24 listed nationwide. It carries 267 reviews. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
The listed business states that it is licensed and states that it carries insurance. Its profile also states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential. It does not advertise round-the-clock cover, so call early in the day and ask directly. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
It has been trading since 2004 — 22 years. It works out of Silver Spring. It names 6 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in its stated service area, so its reach is wider than the town it sits in — give your address when you call.

What Maryland technicians find most often
The 5 most common range hood faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Fan runs but barely extracts
Homeowner fixGrease-saturated mesh filters, a crushed or over-long duct run, or an exterior damper that is stuck partly closed.
Step-by-step: Range Hood Fan Weak or Not Venting→Fan will not run at any speed
TechnicianThe blower motor, the speed control switch, or the run capacitor. Capacitors fail more often than motors do.
Step-by-step: Range Hood Fan Weak or Not Venting→Only some speeds work
TechnicianThe speed control switch or the control board. A motor that runs at all is rarely the fault.
Light does not work with a known-good bulb
TechnicianThe lamp socket or the control board. On LED hoods the entire light module is usually the part.
Step-by-step: Range Hood Light Not Working→Rattling or droning at high speed
Homeowner fixAn unbalanced blower wheel, grease build-up on the fan blades, or loose duct sections vibrating against a joist.

What range hood repair costs in Maryland
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Maryland sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Filter clean or replacement and airflow checkResolves most weak-extraction complaints outright. | $80–$150 |
| Charcoal filter set (recirculating)A consumable — every 6 to 12 months. | $60–$140 |
| Speed control switchThe usual cause when only some speeds work. | $120–$250 |
| Blower motor run capacitorTest this before condemning the motor. | $130–$260 |
| Light socket or LED moduleIntegrated LED panels are replaced whole. | $120–$280 |
| Blower motor replacementThe most expensive genuine hood part. | $250–$450 |
10–15 years. Hoods have one moving part, so what actually ends their life is grease, corrosion, and kitchen remodels rather than mechanical failure. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.

How many range hood repair pros are listed in Maryland?
1 business listed in Maryland names range hood repair among the work it does — 6% of the 16 businesses this directory holds for the state, 8th of the 16 states with any, out of 24 listed nationwide — 4% of them. It works out of Silver Spring. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Maryland.
Which range hood repair companies are rated highest in Maryland?
Silver Spring Appliance Repair in Silver Spring at 4.9 on 267 reviews. Ratings and review counts come from the businesses' own public profiles and are not verified here.
How much does range hood repair cost in Maryland?
Expect $150–$400 for a common range hood repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$100 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not Maryland quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Because only 1 range hood business is listed in Maryland, get one written estimate here and a second from a general appliance technician nearby.
Which Maryland city has the most range hood repair companies?
Silver Spring. It is the only Maryland city with an index page that currently holds a range hood specialist.
Are range hood repair technicians licensed in Maryland?
The single range hood business listed here states that it is licensed, and states that it carries insurance. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency range hood repair in Maryland?
The one listed here does not advertise round-the-clock emergency cover. Same-day appointments for common faults are still routine in the trade. Call early in the day and ask directly — a technician who already has the part on the van can often fit you in.
Which range hood brands do Maryland repair pros service?
The range hood pros listed in Maryland name 12 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are Bosch (1), Dacor (1), GE (1), KitchenAid (1), LG (1), Miele (1). Chimney and island hoods from Bosch, Thermador, Miele, Viking and Wolf use proprietary blower and LED modules and often need brand-specific parts. Insert and liner units built into custom cabinetry are also size-specific, which is why repair usually beats replacement on them.
How long have Maryland range hood repair companies been in business?
It has been trading since 2004 — 22 years. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my range hood?
Apply the 50% rule. A new range hood averages $350 in the US and lasts about 14 years, so a repair quote over roughly $175 on a unit past 9 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a range hood technician in Maryland?
Ducted or recirculating — this decides what the hood can physically do. The duct route: how long, how many bends, and whether it is rigid or flexible. Whether the fault is the fan, the light, or the extraction performance. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip.
