Do range hoods need filters?
During cooking, smoke, grease and other contaminants are produced that can get settled in your ventilation system. It not only compromises the quality of air in your home but also becomes a fire hazard. Hood filters are essential as they capture these components before they hit your vents.
Should I buy a charcoal filter or aluminum?
If your range is ductless, charcoal filters are an ideal option. They are made from carbon materials and can trap airborne grease, steam and smoke while eliminating odors that are produced during cooking. Aluminium filters also effectively trap airborne grease, smoke, and odors and are cost effective, but they are ideal for low volume cooking.
How often should you change the range hood filter?
Range hood filters should be changed after every one to three months, depending on your usage.
