I always open the kitchen window when using the range hood (when the oven is on). I also open the bathroom window when using the clothes dryer. You really don’t want dirty air being sucked in from your wall receptacles or ceiling lights. Most people don’t realize when you exhaust air out of the house in massive amounts like that, the air has to get replaced from somewhere, so it gets pulled from every void possible, mostly wall outlets and ceiling lights. Wall receptacle and ceiling air infiltration is the dirtiest, passing through all that fiberglass insulation and then putting particles into your house. Even central vacuums suck air out that needs to be replaced. It really is best to have a make-up air device installed or to open a window.
Thanks for the info. We are remodeling our kitchen, so this will be useful. I have viewed several of your videos. Thx!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video -- I learned something from it.
Glad it was helpful!
I always enjoy your videos very informative! One thing I noticed is you call it a stove instead of a range. My friend at A1 appliance Steve Scherer told me years ago in the 80s you put wood in a stove. Has stayed with me ever since. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the info!
This is amazing timing. Building a new house now and trying to figure out how much of a vent we need with the Induction slide-in we're planning on getting. I love the looks of the wall mount hoods. Do I really need anything more than 300 or so CFM hood?
Induction is so efficient. Your'e not dealing with a ton of residual loss so 400 CFMs is adequate for this type of range. If you cook a lot of high heat/high smoke/ high odor foods you may consider going with more (and also increasing your capture area).
good video. most people with new homes get the cheapest range exhaust that does little or nothing to expel fumes to the outdoors.
Thanks 👍
You have much better so I don't have a vent system as far as a tube and outside air flow is concerned. I only have the over-the-range microwave. And the top of my cabinets are they just get saturated with grease I've got a constantly clean them. So what is a solution vent hood product that can be used in that type of situation. I've been thinking about why this has been a problem where it hasn't been a problem before and this video and the one on what not to buy perfectly explains it so thank you for that
In a sad bit of irony, I have an over the range microwave in my rental apartment.
Great video, very informative. Is it necessary to have elbows in exhaust? Can one go straight up through roof? I have a flat roof and exhaust vent would be directly up, less than three feet.
Go straight Arthur...when you bend, you lose efficiency
I live in a high rise condo where we have interior kitchens and we are not allowed to vent outside since the walls and ceiling are concrete. So we can only recirculate air. Fortunately we’re not allowed to have gas ranges either, so I have an induction cooktop. I have an air purifier but that’s not for grease and oil of course.
I’m planning a remodel with the cooktop in the middle of the open floor plan kitchen/living room, and am trying to decide whether to go with a hanging ductless hood or a ductless hood attached to the ceiling. Any thoughts on either? Should I also add some tabletop hoods/air purifiers?
While neither option is ideal...the hood will be better
@@YaleAppliance1 thanks for the reply! I assume you mean the hanging one rather than the ceiling (flush) one since it’s closer to the cooktop! I wish there was some way to vent outside but I usually keep the balcony door open (about 15 ft away) and air purifier running near the kitchen so hopefully it helps!!
Is it possible to turn on my furnace fan in place of installing a make-up air kit? I'm planning to install a 600CFM fan in a fairly recently-built home, and I'm a little uncertain as to whether I need make-up air or not...
Dont do that....You need make up air...
1. Open a window
2. Cook on the back burners
3. Get an air purifier
Yale! Help me out on your thoughts!
I live in Michigan. Make up air is now required for any hood with 400cfm. My HVAC guy said it would be about 8k to put in a make up air. I live in a quad level single family house with the furnace in the lowest level. Thoughts on even getting a 400cfm. Will it be enough? Will a 350 vent to outside be enough?
We don’t have enough room on our breaker or money for a convection & the electric stove is horrid (I’m a chef). Thoughts?
Depends on how you cook. You can always cut a whole 10 feet away on the opposite side of the range. 8k for make up air damper? Seems a bit excessive
@@YaleAppliance1 yes I was surprised by how much they quoted. Should the ceilings there are vaulted & about 12ft tall. I do cook quite a bit & would like to use gas (not for political reasons lol) & I want to a sure I’m not poisoning our house with bad gases
What if you have an interior kitchen with no outside walls (stairwell behind, bathroom above, basement below) and no way to vent outside?
If you can't vent outside then you would have to recirculate. It's poor ventilation but it will get you past any local codes.
Read this several times as "how to vent your rage"
Thats our future self help channel ;]
i thought this was how to vent my rage. diff topic i guess...
Did it help your rage? If so, then it was on topic ...
More of government tell us how to live is never a good idea. Name ten people you know who died while cooking in the last 75 years? I'll wait. Government seldom does anything good.
True...but you should still vent correctly.
Please learn what a jump cut is and stop doing it. They are unsettling and used to be considered unprofessional. I realize that social media and editing on one's phone has changed perceived standards but you are still a professional company. Either do a re-take on a line or use zoom cuts or cross dissolves.
