The Range Hood Height Calculator helps homeowners and kitchen installers determine the optimal height to install a range hood based on the stove type (gas or electric) and ceiling height. Proper hood placement ensures effective ventilation and captures smoke and grease from cooking.
Key Considerations
- Stove Type: Gas stoves typically require more clearance than electric stoves due to higher heat output.
- Ceiling Height: Knowing the ceiling height is essential for calculating the correct range hood height.
Calculation Formula
- For gas stoves: Base clearance = 30 inches.
- For electric stoves: Base clearance = 24 inches.
- Recommended Height = Ceiling Height - Base Clearance.
Example
For a ceiling height of 96 inches and a gas stove, the recommended range hood height would be: \[ \text{Recommended Height} = 96 - 30 = 66 \text{ inches} \]
