A kitchen hood not only ventilates the space but also collects grease, extracts cooking odors, and helps manage humidity and smoke.
What are the different types of kitchen hoods?
Hoods are divided into two main types:
Ducted Hood: Sucks steam, grease residues, and odors and expels them through a duct.
Ductless Hood: Filters grease residues and odors using filters and recirculates the purified air back into the kitchen space.
What considerations should I make when choosing a kitchen hood?
Factors to consider include noise level, dimensions relative to your cooktop, maintenance requirements, energy consumption, and installation type (wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, integrated, etc.).
How do I determine the size of my kitchen hood?
Your hood should match or exceed the width of your cooktop to effectively capture cooking fumes. Consider a slightly larger hood to cover additional workspace around the stove.
What maintenance do kitchen hood filters require?
Grease filters should be regularly cleaned with warm water and dish soap. Some are dishwasher-safe, but check manufacturer guidelines. Charcoal filters need periodic replacement to maintain odor absorption efficiency.
What should I know about energy consumption labels for kitchen hoods?
Energy labels indicate annual energy usage based on average daily operation. Higher efficiency ratings (A+++ to D) denote lower energy consumption.
