The tickets, priced apart by frame
| Ticket reading | Repair ticket | Replacement ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Headline band, Frame A | $300-$500 major damage | installation hub field |
| Headline band, Frame B | $300-$600 major repairs | $500-$2,900 new hood plus install |
| Motor line, Frame B | $110-$230 motor row | no repair line |
Each reading is one ticket's own counting: a repair figure prices the repair visit by failed part, a replacement figure prices a new hood plus installation, and a repair figure is never carried into an installation row.
The repair ticket, priced apart by frame
| Repair row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Minor repairs | $85-$210 | $85-$210 |
| Motor | in $100-$400 line | $110-$230 |
| Major | $300-$500 | $300-$600 |
| Control board | in major row | in major row |
The repair ticket is one visit only as quoted -- no page here adds the part rows into one repair total, and each frame's rows stand in that frame alone, priced by failed part.
The replacement ticket, priced apart by frame
| Reading, as published | Ticket | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Frame B new hood plus installation | replacement | $500-$2,900 |
| Frame A repair line, apart | repair | $100-$400 |
| Frame B major row, apart | repair | $300-$600 |
The other ticket counts a different purchase: a whole-hood replacement prices a new hood plus professional installation as one purchase, a repair row prices one visit by failed part, and the range hood installation hub stands as its own field, named apart and never a row here.
The totals behind the tickets, and the neighbours named apart
| Row or total, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Major damage | Frame A | $300-$500 |
| Major repairs | Frame B | $300-$600 |
| Motor replacement | Frame B | $110-$230 |
The two frames count the same major job differently -- Frame A reads major damage at $300-$500 as one band topping at $500, while Frame B reads major repairs at $300-$600 as its own by-type row topping at $600, and the motor stands inside the Frame A minor-or-major split against its own Frame B motor row at $110-$230. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page here, never averaged. Named apart, never a row here: the range hood installation hub, its own field as an installation field pricing a new hood going in; ductwork runs, priced on the ductwork and electrical guide; over-range microwaves, a different unit on their own guides; and whole-hood replacement, a new hood purchase read on the repair-vs-replacement guide under each frame separately.
