What size range hood do I need for a 48 range?

54”
For a 48” range, purchase at least a 54” range hood for indoor use and a 60” hood for outdoor use.

Is higher or lower CFM better for range hood?

The power or air movement for range hoods is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). For example, if your high-output burner output is 45,000 BTU, look for a range hood that provides 450 CFM to best clear the air. However, the higher the CFM, the louder the hood will be.

What sizes do stove hoods come in?

Range hoods often come in 24″, 30″ or 36″ widths. The hood should be exactly as wide as the cooking surface.

How many CFM do I need for 48 range?

To power your range hood, you need at least 100 CFM for every 10,000 BTUs of your stovetop. For example, a 100,000 BTU stove needs at least a 1000 CFM range hood. For electric stoves, multiply the stove width by 10. So, for a 42” electric stove you want a range hood with at least 420 CFM.

Are range hoods worth it?

Unvented range hoods do filter some grease and cooking odors from the air, but the general consensus is that they’re nowhere near as effective. Nor do they remove heat and humidity, so they won’t help keep your kitchen cool while you cook.

Is 900 cfm too much?

Without an adequate size duct, a higher-CFM blower will encounter too much air resistance to work effectively. Smoke and steam will stay in your kitchen, as well as cooking odors, which is not ideal. 700 to 900 CFM = 7” to 10” duct. 900 to 1200 CFM = 8” to 12” duct.

Is 900 cfm enough for range hood?

A range hood with 900+ CFM will be enough to clean your kitchen air and keep your kitchen smelling fresh. In general, it’s better to go with more CFM than less.

Should Hood be wider than range?

A hood should be at least as wide as your cooking surface, but an extra 3 inches on each side can improve efficiency. The depth should cover the back burners and at least half of the front burners, though full coverage is best. The height at which the hood hangs above your cooktop will also affect how well it works.

Why are range hoods so expensive?

It is More Expensive The price of range hoods depends on several factors such as the CFM rating, the special features it comes with as well as its mode of blowing. The stronger the range hood, the higher its CFM rating and this makes it even more expensive.
