Q: What is a range hood?

• <div><p>A range hood is an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-kitchen-exhaust-fans-work.htm">exhaust fan</a> for your kitchen, and several types and styles exist. They are meant to remove grease, moisture, and fumes from your stove. Although some models filter and recirculate the air, the most effective ones remove the air through a duct that&rsquo;s vented to the outdoors.</p></div>

Q: What is a good CFM for a range hood?

• <div><p>Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove&rsquo;s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen. </p><p>Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they&rsquo;re minimal or extensive.</p></div>

Q: Do range hoods need to be vented outside?

• <div><p>Ductless range hoods and hoods that have an option for recirculating air don&rsquo;t have to vent to the outside. These hoods take in air, filter it, and recirculate it back into the room. Their charcoal filters eliminate much of the odor and smoke in the kitchen, but venting to the outside is still the preferred method.</p></div>

Q: Can any microwave go over the range?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you&rsquo;ll need above your stovetop. </p><p>Although countertop units are more affordable, they won&rsquo;t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a range hood for an electric stove?

• <div><p>Yes, you still need to install a range hood above an electric stove. While electric stoves produce less heat than gas stoves, they still produce grease and fumes, which is the primary reason to install a range hood.</p></div>

Our kitchen used to feel dark, cramped, and totally out of sync with how we live. We finally decided it was time for a change, and that’s when Zamir and his team came in. Day by day, we watched our old kitchen transform into a bright, open space that actually works for our family. The new open...
