Refrigerator remodel

Last updated on January 1, 1970

Jake,

I am getting a new refrigerator that is larger than the space the current one is in. I would like to relocate the frig to a different area, but there is a wall vent (for heat and air conditioning) there. Can this be moved so that the air comes out under the cupboard next to the refrigerator? If so, is this difficult?

Linda,

This is not a job for the un-trained homeowner. It will require you to perform sheet metal work and some carpentry – both ruff and trim. If you feel like you are capable of doing this type of work then go for it. If not, hire a professional remodeler to complete the work. It could cost up to a thousand dollars, now remember this is a sight-unseen guess estimate, so get a price to see if it is worth it to you.
