Range hoods in kitchen are becoming all the rage in today’s modern kitchens accessories. Once relegated to “the thing that hung over the stove when you cooked” to a focal point of beauty and elegance, the range hood has gone from the ugly frog to the beautiful princess of the kitchen.
Consumers see a kitchen range hood as a really integral part of their kitchens and no longer purchased as an afterthought. They’re looking for kitchen range hoods that add impact to the look of their kitchen and shows they’re serious about cooking. With the most stunning selection of range hoods on the market, it’s getting easier and easier to pick the perfect range hood for any kitchen.
Zephyr or Zephyr range hoods emerged in the market in 1997 with a new approach to range vent hoods – a new platform of ventilating range hoods. Zephyr addressed air quality concerns for consumers seeking high cubic feet per minute (CFM) of exhausting air flow or ventilation combined with quietness and efficiency. Another name many are familiar with is the Broan range hood, offered in high-performance ducted models and effective non-ducted units. Broan range hoods may have just what you want for your kitchen.
Range hoods are also available in an almost limitless choice of materials and styles, such as canopy, slide-out or under-the-cabinet. The best thing is, you also get to select the color to match your appliances. You may want to consider looking at copper range hoods, canopy range hoods or a wood range hood. Want a wall mounted one or an island mounted one like the Thermador range hood? No problem, island range hoods are also available in a wide variety of materials and colors.
One thing you will need to know about range hoods is their filter system. To keep kitchen air fresh and clean, a range hood filters for grease, and the aluminum ones in particular need to be chucked into the dishwasher about once a month. You can’t clean non-duct carbon filters, they must be replaced. In general how often do you change filters for your range hood? That depends on the frequency and type of cooking you do. Generally speaking, it’s about every three to six months for replacing the charcoal filters.
You’ll also need to ask your installer or customer service representative about a range hood vent cap and whether or not your choice of range hood will need one.
