VENTILATION

Proper ventilation is a kitchen requirement. Whether as an over-the-range microwave with a built-in fan, or a stronger unit such as a Wall Mounted Range Hood, they move smoke, vapors, heat and grease away from the cooking area.

The staff at Hancock TV & Appliance is here to help you understand the different types of ventilation, the style of hoods available, and the proper CFM rate for your particular home ventilation needs. With brands like Best, Broan, Faber, Wolf and Zephyr to name a few, we can help simplify the process for you. We look forward to helping you, and as always, we appreciate your business.

Buying Tips

Before getting started, it's good to understand your current ventilation situation and how it's ducted. Make sure that the air is vented outside the home, not into an attic or crawl space.

Range hood performance is determined by airflow (measured in CFM - cubic feet per minute), sound, power, and ducting.

Sound can be a significant factor, so be sure to find out how loud the unit can get and try to purchase one with a low "sone" rating.
