Tips For Choosing A Rangehood
Rangehood Style
“When it comes to rangehood style it’s all about the look you’re going for in your kitchen,” says Geraldine Gillespie. “Is the kitchen the feature of your home, with all the latest appliances – as much about their slick design as their function? Or do you want to make your stunning cabinetry the focus? These are the things you need to think about before making a decision.”
Rangehood Size
The number 1 most important thing to consider before buying a new hood is to measure the width of your cooktop.
The width of your cooktop directly determines the size of the rangehood. The size should be the same to effectively clear the air of cooking odours, smoke, condensation, heat and more.
Next, measure the area above your cooktop and confirm the dimensions of the rangehood you’re decided on will actually fit in your kitchen.
This is crucial as you don’t want a range hood that’s undersized for the size of your cooktop as it won’t do the job properly.
Ventilation
When considering which rangehood to buy, choose a ducted model. Ducted range hoods remove odours and heat via ducting externally where as recirculating rangehoods only filter the air, recirculating it back into the kitchen. Recirculating hoods are nowhere near as effective as effective and powerful ducted rangehoods.
If you don’t have a rangehood to remove harmful smoke and oils, over time cupboards and ceilings become stained and greasy from cooking and frying residues. Not only that the heat emanating from cooktops can warp close by cabinets and cupboards.
Depending on the model you choose ducting may be concealed within existing cabinetry to vent outdoors or it may not be ducted at all. Make sure you check on existing ducting before buying.
Noise Level
Noise levels vary depending on the type of rangehood and the fan speed you use during operation. The majority of manufacturers display the decibel rating so you’ll know how noisy your new rangehood might sound.
If you specifically want one that is the quietest on the market, look for range hoods with soundproof motors or special insulation to reduce sound during operation.
Price Ranges
Entry-level rangehoods are quite cheap and you pay for what you get at the cheaper end of the market. They can be priced as low as $120 and go up to $18,000 for a premium level canopy rangehood model with a sleek stainless-steel finish.
Decide on your budegt and do your research. We are happy to provide advice. The best brands are Smeg, Westinghouse, Bosch, Miele, Electrolux, Fisher & Paykel to name a few.
Installation Requirements
All rangehoods are required to be installed by a licensed electrician. Plumbers install the ducting. SafeGuard Electrical’s licensed electricians have the experience and expertise to install your rangehood and get it up and running.
Remember the most important thing is, check that your new model fits in the existing space before you buy it.
