Shop by CFM
Range hood power is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). This number tells you how much air the fan can move.
0 - 300 CFM
Best used in smaller kitchens with electric or induction ranges.
300 - 600 CFM
These work well in galley kitchens or kitchens with large electric, gas, or dual ranges.
600+ CFM
These work best in commercial or industrial kitchens and are ideal for heavy cooking.
Range Hoods by Ventilation Type
There are two different types of ventilation options when selecting a range hood.
Ducted Range Hoods
Ducted range hoods push air out of your home through ductwork. They are a great way to remove smoke and unwanted odours from your kitchen.
Convertible Range Hoods
Can be configured to vent air outdoors (ducted) or recirculate air indoors (ductless), giving you greater flexibility.
Range Hoods by Sound
Noise level is measured in Sones. The lower the sone rating, the quieter the range hood.
Ideas & How-To
Find the Best Range Hood for Your Kitchen
A high-quality range hood is essential for maintaining clean air in your home. Also known as a range exhaust or hood fan, these units pull smoke, grease and steam away from your cooking surfaces. This protects your cabinets from moisture and keeps your kitchen vent system running smoothly.
Choosing the Right Model for Your Kitchen
Finding the perfect kitchen range hood depends on your stove’s location and how much air you need to move.
- Under Cabinet & Insert Hoods: If you have cabinets above your stove, under cabinet range hoods are a classic choice. A 30-inch exhaust hood is the standard size for most Canadian homes. For a custom look, insert range hoods can be hidden inside decorative cabinetry.
- Wall Mount & Island Hoods: For kitchens without upper cabinets, wall mount range hoods attach directly to the wall and often feature a chimney-style design. If your cooktop is on a kitchen island, island range hoods hang from the ceiling to catch smoke from all sides.
- Range Hood Width and Performance: It is important to match your stove hood to the width of your range. While a 30-inch exhaust hood is common, larger cooktops may require a 36-exhaust hood for better coverage.
- Range Hoods with Downdraft Ventilation: If you want a clean, open look in your kitchen without a large hood fan hanging from the ceiling or wall, a downdraft vent is an excellent alternative. Unlike traditional hoods that pull smoke upward, a downdraft system pulls smoke and steam downward and out through a vent in the floor or behind the cabinets.
- Trusted Brands: We carry reliable options like the Broan-NuTone hood, high-end Bosch exhaust hood models, and the powerful KitchenAid vent hood. If you need to save space, a microwave range hood combines two appliances into one.
Range Hood Comparison: Ducted vs. Ductless
When you pick a kitchen vent, the most important choice is how the unit handles the air it captures. While both ducted and ductless styles look similar on the outside, their internal parts and the way you install them are different.
Ducted (Vented) Range Hoods
A ducted range exhaust is connected to a system of pipes that leads directly to the outside of your home.
- How it Works: The hood fan pulls in smoke, grease, and heat, then pushes it through a metal duct and out an exterior wall or roof vent.
Ductless (Recirculating) Range Hoods
A ductless vent hood does not connect to any outside pipes. Instead, it cleans the air and returns it to the room.
- How it Works: The fan pulls air through a standard grease filter and then through an additional charcoal filter. The charcoal neutralizes odours before the air is blown back into the kitchen.
Professional Range Hood Installation

Our licensed Pros ensure your kitchen exhaust hood is mounted at the perfect height and securely fastened to your wall or cabinets.
-
A ducted vent hood uses a pipe to move air completely out of the house. This is the most effective way to remove heat and humidity. If your home does not have a duct, a recirculating hood fan uses filters to clean the air before blowing it back into the kitchen.
-
Your range exhaust should be at least as wide as your stove. A 30-inch exhaust hood works for most standard stoves. However, a 36-inch exhaust hood is often recommended for professional gas ranges because it covers a larger area and prevents smoke from escaping into the room.
-
Sones measure the noise level of the hood fan. A lower Sone rating means the fan is quieter. If you want a peaceful kitchen, look for a Bosch exhaust hood or Broan-NuTone hood with a rating of 3 sones or less.
-
Yes, a stainless-steel range hood is highly durable and heat-resistant. To keep it looking new, simply use a stainless-steel cleaner or warm soapy water to remove grease from the surface and the vent hood filters.
-
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute, and it measures how much air the hood fan can move in one minute. Think of it as the horsepower of your range hood. To find the right power level for your kitchen, follow these basic rules:
- Electric Stoves: For a standard electric range, you generally need 100 CFM for every 10 inches of stove width. For a common 30-inch exhaust hood, a 300 CFM fan is usually plenty.
- Gas Stoves: Gas burners produce more heat. You should look for 1 CFM for every 100 BTU (British Thermal Units) of total burner output. If your gas stove is very powerful, you might need a 36-inch exhaust hood with 600 to 900 CFM.
- Microwave Hoods: A microwave range hood usually has a lower CFM (around 200–300), which is fine for light cooking but may not be enough for heavy-duty gas ranges.
