About Vent-A-Hood


When it is time to build or update a kitchen, the questions start stacking up: What appliance brands should I check out, and what features do I want or need? It can be overwhelming just trying to decide where to begin, where to go to see the premier appliance products and to get sound advice.

Since 1947, V-A-H Marketing, a Vent-A-Hood of California Company has been the trusted source for answers — for both homeowners and trade professionals. We are California's leading distributor of premium quality appliances and related products for the kitchen.

V-A-H Marketing, originally known as Vent-A-Hood of California, was founded in 1947 by William A. Bergstrom, a building contractor. The company began as a full-service construction and kitchen remodeling firm and one of the country's first Vent- A-Hood distributors. Recognizing a growing need, the company incorporated in 1956 and began to specialize in kitchen appliance distribution.

Since 1976, the company has been directed by sons Richard and Robert Bergstrom and has become a leading West Coast distributor of premium luxury appliances and related products for the kitchen and home. Lines represented include Vent-A-Hood custom and standard range hoods, Marvel undercounter accessory refrigeration, Northland custom designed refrigeration, Aga hand-crafted ranges, Blomberg luxury electronic dishwashers, Kamado Joe Grills, and Scotsman ice machines and companion refrigerators.

As a long time leader in the industry, V-A-H staff have held both local and national positions within the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and actively support and contribute to leading industry organizations such as the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the Building Industry Association (BIS), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and the National Association of Home Builders(NAHB).

Our level of professionalism and hands-on involvement reflects a foundation of strong personal and professional ethics. We are also your neighbors - a family company in every sense, deeply committed to the community.
