Condensation coming from hood range

Anonymous user 30/06/2026 - 9:11 AM

Hi, I recently noticed condensation, in the mornings from my hood range, above my stove. It's not continuous or not when it's raining. I'm wondering if it's because its cold and what can I do to fix this. It's a new home, so all the appliance are new.

Are you a pro and able to answer this question?

Morning condensation happens because warm, humid indoor air rises into the range hood duct overnight and hits a freezing cold, uninsulated metal pipe, causing moisture to liquefy and drip back down onto your stove. To fix this, your builder needs to wrap the attic portion of the metal pipe in an insulation sleeve and ensure the exterior roof or wall damper flap seals tightly to block outside air .Since your home is brand new, you should file a warranty claim immediately so the builder can send an HVAC specialist to insulate the ductwork at no cost to you.

Dear homeowner : this is Mostly Improper installation Issues like a duct that is too long, has too many bends, or is not insulated properly can cause condensation to form or steam with or without use . the outside air forming steam in the pipe and go directly to your appliance, Obviously all this work required a thorough inspection before proceeding with a diagnosis or proceed to any type of repair. also if the house is not that old please apply for your warranty. kind regards
