Say Goodbye to Smoke with GE Range Hoods

Do you love to cook flavorful foods but don't like smelling them the next day? Since cooking generates fumes, it is important to ventilate the room properly. GE range hoods are a great way to get some fresh air into your kitchen. They help remove odor particles, smoke, and other cooking debris, so your air smells fresh and clean.

Find the Right Amount of Ventilation Power for Your Needs

Measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), ventilation power tells you how much air your range hood can exhaust in a set amount of time. Some may have a rating of around 200 CFM while others may be rated with over 600 CFM. To get effective ventilation, you need a range hood that is compatible with your stove size. A general rule of thumb is to take the BTU of a gas stove and multiply by 100. For electric stoves, calculate your ventilation power by multiplying the width in inches by 10. If your kitchen is unusually large or you cook especially pungent food, you might want a little extra CFM.

Ducted and Ductless Options

When shopping for range hoods, you can choose ones that do or do not connect to a duct. Ducted hoods vent air outside, so they are very efficient. Meanwhile, ductless hoods circulate air through a filter, so they can be installed in more locations. Most GE range hoods are ducted with the option of converting to ductless. This lets you customize your range hood to suit your individual preferences.

Accent Your Kitchen With Stylish GE Range Hoods

A range hood is more than just a functional piece of kitchen equipment. It's also a style statement. GE range hoods typically have a sleek, classic design that looks equally good in a traditional or modern kitchen. In addition to their more traditional range hoods, GE also designs a few with built-in screens for a futuristic look. GE also makes it easy to find a hood that matches your cabinets or your appliances.
