How much does a kitchen hood and hob cost in Malaysia?

Hood and hob pricing in the Klang Valley spans a wide range because there are significant differences between a budget cooker-hood combo suitable for a light-cooking household and a high-extraction chimney hood paired with a commercial-style cast-iron burner hob. (The hood is the extractor above the cooker — also called a cooker hood or rangehood, and in Malay a penyedut asap dapur or simply “hood dapur”; the hob is the cooking surface built into the countertop, which Malay speakers usually still call a hob, or a dapur gas / dapur induksi.) The table below gives a quick orientation:

Kitchen hood types & cost

The type of hood determines how it looks, where it is installed and how well it ventilates your kitchen:

The T-shape chimney hood is by far the most popular choice in Klang Valley homes due to its strong extraction, ease of cleaning and mid-range price point.

Hob types & cost

For Malaysian cooking styles — especially wok-cooking at high heat — gas hobs with powerful wok burners remain the most popular choice. Induction hobs are growing in popularity for dry kitchens and open-plan layouts where heat and fumes are a concern.

Popular hood + hob combos & typical cost

Most homeowners buy and install the hood and hob together — which often gets a slight package discount and ensures duct sizing is matched correctly:

What affects hood and hob cost the most?

• Brand and extraction power (m³/hr). A low-extraction box hood costs RM200–RM400; a high-extraction European chimney hood with touch controls costs RM2,000–RM5,000. More extraction power is essential in a busy wet kitchen.
• Hob size and fuel type. A 60 cm gas hob with 4 burners costs RM400–RM1,200; a 90 cm 5-burner wok hob costs RM1,500–RM3,000+. Induction hobs cost more but save on gas bills over time.
• Installation complexity. New ductwork through an exterior wall costs more than reusing an existing exhaust duct. If your kitchen has never had a hood installed, factor in RM200–RM600 extra for ducting penetration.
• Built-in vs freestanding. Built-in hobs require a cutout in the countertop (RM150–RM300 extra if the countertop is not already cut); freestanding gas cookers just sit on the benchtop.

Worked example: a condo wet kitchen

An illustrative budget for a mid-range hood and hob supply and install for a standard Klang Valley condo wet kitchen:

A budget version (Turbo or Milux box hood + 3-burner gas hob) for the same kitchen could be installed for RM1,400–RM1,800. A premium Elica chimney hood + induction hob with countertop cut and new 32A circuit could cost RM6,500–RM9,000.

Kitchen hood and hob installation cost

Installation alone usually adds RM350–RM1,000 to the price of the units for a hood and hob pair (the install add-on column in the combo table above). On its own, fitting a replacement chimney hood to an existing duct costs about RM350–RM600, and fitting a built-in hob about RM350 including the countertop cut and gas hose (see the worked example). A first-time hood that needs a new duct through the wall, or an induction hob that needs its own 32A circuit, costs more — those extras are listed below.

Installation for a standard hood-and-hob job typically includes:

• Hood mounting onto the wall and connecting to the exhaust duct.
• Hob cutout (if countertop needs cutting) and fitting into the countertop.
• Flexible gas hose connection (LPG or piped gas) with a certified gas installer.
• Basic electrical connection (hood plugs into a 13A socket).
• Test run and demonstration of settings and cleaning.

What is typically not included in a standard install quote:

• New exhaust duct penetration through an exterior wall or ceiling (add RM200–RM600).
• New 32A dedicated circuit for an induction hob (add RM300–RM600 if not already present).
• Old unit disposal if replacement is involved.

How to choose a kitchen hood in Malaysia

• Extraction rate (m³/hr): For a Malaysian wet kitchen, aim for at least 900–1,200 m³/hr. Heavy wok cooking generates a lot of smoke and grease — an under-powered hood leaves residue on walls and ceilings.
• Width match: The hood should be at least as wide as the hob (ideally 10–20 cm wider on each side to capture side-drift).
• Noise level (dBA): Premium hoods typically run at 55–65 dBA; budget models can exceed 70 dBA. Check the spec sheet.
• Filter type: Baffle filters (stainless steel) are preferred in Malaysia — they are dishwasher-safe and more durable than mesh filters.
• After-sales and spare parts: For peace of mind, choose a brand with a service centre in the Klang Valley — Rinnai, Turbo and Milux have the widest local service networks.

How to choose a hob for Malaysian cooking

• Gas hob: If you cook with a wok, gas is still the most practical choice — the direct flame gives the high heat needed for proper stir-frying. Look for a dedicated high-power wok burner (4.0–5.0 kW).
• Induction hob: Best for the dry kitchen in a wet-and-dry layout, or for open-plan kitchens where smoke and heat management is critical. Requires induction-compatible (magnetic base) cookware.
• Number of burners: For a family of 3–5 cooking Malaysian food, a 4–5 burner setup is standard. A 3-burner is adequate for smaller households.
• Auto-ignition and flame failure device: Always specify these safety features on a gas hob.

Common kitchen hood and hob mistakes to avoid

• Under-speccing extraction power. In a Malaysian wet kitchen with frequent wok cooking, a 600 m³/hr box hood is often insufficient. The result is grease and smoke migrating to the dry kitchen and living area.
• Buying a hood wider than the duct can handle. A 90 cm hood needs a larger duct diameter; check with the installer before purchasing.
• Skipping a dedicated gas installer for the hob. Gas hose connections should always be done by a certified gas fitter — an improper connection is a fire and safety risk.
• No maintenance access for the exhaust duct. Grease builds up in the duct over time. Ensure there is access at the termination point for periodic cleaning.
• Induction hob on an old 13A circuit. Most induction hobs draw 3–7 kW and require a dedicated 32A circuit. Plugging into a shared 13A socket is a fire hazard.

Maintenance and lifespan

With proper maintenance, a quality hood and hob should last 8–15 years. Key maintenance tasks:

• Hood baffle filters: Clean monthly in hot soapy water or dishwasher; dry thoroughly before refitting. Replace every 3–5 years.
• Duct cleaning: Professional duct degreasing every 2–3 years for a household that cooks daily with a gas wok.
• Gas hob burner heads: Clean monthly; replace rubber seals if gas smell persists near connections.
• Induction hob glass: Wipe with a glass cleaner after every use; avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface.

Ducting & venting

A rangehood must vent to the outside — either directly through an external wall or via a duct run to an outside vent. Recirculation (ductless) hoods use charcoal filters to absorb grease and odours and recirculate air back into the kitchen. They are the only option where external ducting is impossible (e.g. a central apartment kitchen with no external wall access), but they are significantly less effective for Malaysian-style cooking, where large volumes of steam, smoke and oil vapour are generated. If you have a choice, always duct out.

• Duct diameter: minimum 150 mm round or equivalent rectangular for most chimney hoods; larger for high-suction models (≥1,200 m³/h).
• Duct run length: each metre of straight duct reduces effective suction by roughly 10%; each 90° bend is equivalent to another 1–1.5 m of straight duct. Keep runs short and bends minimal.
• Backdraught damper: a one-way flap at the external vent prevents air, insects and rain entering when the hood is off — essential in Malaysia.
• Duct material: semi-rigid aluminium flex duct is convenient but accumulates grease. Rigid galvanised steel ducting is better for permanent installations and easier to clean.

How do I hide the ugly cooker hood ducting pipe?

The cooker hood ducting pipe is easiest to hide when its route is planned before the ceiling and cabinets go in, so it can be built in behind the cabinetry rather than across a finished wall. An integrated or concealed hood, housed inside a built-in cabinet with only the extraction unit visible, costs RM1,500 – RM4,500. However it is hidden, keep the run short with few bends, end it outside with a backdraught flap, and keep access for cleaning.
