Before you order
- Choose ducted over recirculating when you can, since only ducted hoods move moisture outside.
- Hoods over 400 CFM commonly trigger make-up air rules.
- A hood wider than the cooktop captures more smoke.
Common questions
Does a gas range need a bigger hood?
Hot, high-output burners make more fumes and heat. Follow your cooktop maker's number if it is higher than this.
What is make-up air?
Replacement outdoor air for what the hood exhausts. Without it, large hoods can pull air back through a water heater flue.
