Having a ducted range hood over your stove has many benefits, but if you don’t want to go through the hassle of installing one, a suitable substitute is a recirculating range hood, also known as a ductless hood. Whether it is ducted or ductless, the appliance provides your kitchen with adequate ventilation and helps eliminate cooking odors and other particles from the room’s air. While some homeowners may feel a vented range hood is the more efficient choice, purchasing a recirculating hood has its own set of advantages.
Maintaining your ductless range hood
The most important step in keeping your recirculating hood functioning and effectively recycling your kitchen’s air is cleaning or replacing the filter. Most hoods have a charcoal filter that needs to be replaced every 3 to 6 months. Other range hoods have an aluminum filter that can be removed and cleaned with soap and water on a regular basis. If you fail to complete this process, you can significantly damage your range hood causing it to need appliance repair. Don’t forget to remove the grease and other particle build-up from the hood’s fan blades. Performing both actions should keep your ductless range hood operating at the top of its game.
