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’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.

Q: Do range hoods need to be vented outside?

• <div><p>No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside.

These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen.

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
