Frequently Asked Questions about Range Hoods
Do I need a dedicated circuit for my range hood?
No, as long as you manage your amperage usage. Range hoods typically draw between five and seven amps. Just ensure that your vent hoods are connected to a circuit with less powerful appliances and enough spare amperage to keep it running.
Can I use a flexible duct for my range hood?
No, it is not recommended. Flexible duct material is not durable enough and difficult to clean and maintain. A better choice is a rigid duct made of stainless steel for proper range hood ventilation. Remember to size your ductwork appropriately: four-inch duct for 400 CFM or below, up to ten-inch for 1200 CFM or higher.
How can I tell if my range hood is ductless?
If you can't see any visible ductwork in your kitchen, it's likely that your vent hood is ductless and recirculates the air within the kitchen. Check outside for a vent on the outer wall and look for filters or a recirculating kit included with your hood, which indicates a ductless setup.
