If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You have heard this one many times. But how can we cool down the kitchen? And can a powerful range hood reduce heat and cool down your kitchen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will discuss how a range hood works, how it can reduce heat in your kitchen, and provide some tips to help keep your kitchen cool all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ventilating or ducted range hood can help keep your kitchen<\/a> cooler while cooking. It intakes fresh air and exhausts hot air, keeping your kitchen cooler while you cook. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can a range hood cool down your kitchen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes! Your <\/strong>kitchen will stay cooler if you install an exhaust fan or range hood to remove the heat<\/a> generated by cooking. An exhaust fan will help clear out cooking aromas, oil, and smoke from your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How else can you cool down your kitchen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cracking open a window in the kitchen can help to promote airflow<\/a>. It is also possible to utilize a makeup air<\/a> kit. If your window is open and your fan is on, you’ll experience a noticeable breeze blowing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Note: Outside air needs to be colder than your kitchen air to keep your kitchen cool<\/strong>. If you are just pulling in hot air, it won’t cool things down by much, will it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can a ductless range hood cool down my kitchen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No. Ductless hoods can not cool down your kitchen. Ducted vent hoods are the only type of hood that can help with the heat in your kitchen<\/strong>. With ductless exhaust fans, the air in your kitchen is recycled, so the exhaust from cooking is never expelled outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Can I leave my range hood on after cooking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s safe to leave the hood on for 15\u201330 minutes after cooking<\/strong>. Keep in mind that residential fans are not meant to stay several hours at a time. Your exhaust fan will need replacement if you use it for several hours or run it all day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your exhaust fan will wear out quickly if you use it for several hours or run it all day and night. To extend your hood’s lifespan, run your exhaust fan at low speeds as often as possible. This will ensure it stays in good working order for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
