That is 2nd 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. 17 other appliance businesses are listed in New York, and general technicians will often take this work once they know the model. Have the model number ready when you call.
Counted from the 3 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
New York holds 3 listed range hood repair businesses, out of 24 nationwide. That ranks 2nd of the 16 states with any, behind California on 6. They are 3 of the 20 businesses listed in New York — 15% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.8, against 4.7 across all 24 listed nationwide, and 3 of the 3 sit at 4.5 or better. 1 holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 562 reviews, the largest single tally being 379 on Dial Appliance Service in Brooklyn. 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.
By review volume the group is led by Dial Appliance Service in Brooklyn (379 reviews, 4.8), NY Refrigerator Repair Specialists in New York (143 reviews, 5.0) and Reimers Appliance Service in Orchard Park (40 reviews, 4.6). By rating it is NY Refrigerator Repair Specialists at 5.0 on 143 reviews, Dial Appliance Service at 4.8 on 379 reviews and Reimers Appliance Service at 4.6 on 40 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 3 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 1 shows a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 3 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 1 advertises same-day service. 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.
3 of them publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1992, and the median across those that say is 30 years. Brooklyn holds the most at 1 — 33% of the group — level with Buffalo, across 3 New York cities with an index page. Between them they name 12 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

Beyond range hood repair, these 3 businesses also list cooktop repair (2), ventilation repair (1). Worth knowing before the visit — a second job on the same call-out is far cheaper than a second call-out.
Not counted above
These are real New York companies whose records carry contact details but no list of what they repair. None of them states range hood repair, so none is counted in the 3 above, and none is listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

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.
7 published range hood guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$100 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Degrease the mesh filters in hot water or the dishwasher
MonthlyPrevents: The weak extraction that gets misdiagnosed as a failed motor — and a real fire risk.
Replace charcoal filters on recirculating hoods
Every 6–12 monthsPrevents: Odours that linger with the hood running at full speed.
Wipe grease off the blower wheel
AnnuallyPrevents: The imbalance that causes rattling and kills motor bearings.

Every state with a listed range hood specialist, most first. New York sits 2nd of 16 on 3.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro New York 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.
Blue Book
A quote above $175 on a range hood past 9 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
