Do all range hoods have wiring on the same side?
Question : Do all range hoods have wiring on the same side?
I just bought a new range hood (non venting) and was dismayed to discover that the wiring on the hood is on the right side and the existing wiring for the old hood comes in on the left side. I really don’t want to deal with moving the existing wiring and creating a new junction box. How likely is it that I will be able to find another hood that has the wiring on the left side like I need it? I didn’t know if maybe all hoods nowadays have wiring on the right side as standard.

no you put it on ether side
Most hoods come with electrical knockouts on both sides so you can do it either way.
These are the round steel plugs you see in the back of the hood just use a screwdirver and pliers to remove the one you need to.
