KITCHEN EXHAUST HOODS
FOR COLUMBUS, CHILLICOTHE & ATHENS, OH; HUNTINGTON, MORGANTOWN, PARKERSBURG, & CHARLESTON, WV
Every commercial kitchen needs an exhaust hood. It is often required by local health and fire codes and is important to overall safety. At Snouffer’s Fire & Safety, we provide top-quality exhaust hoods that effectively remove smoke, grease, and odors, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable cooking area for your employees and guests. Hoods are not one-size-fits-all and can be quite complex which leaves customers having lots of questions about them. Our staff are always happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding our exhaust hood products.
Why are Exhaust Hoods Needed?
- Smoke and Odor Removal: Cooking can produce smoke, steam, and strong odors that can quickly fill your kitchen and nearby areas. Exhaust hoods are designed to capture and safely remove these airborne particles. This makes them effective in improving air quality and preventing unpleasant odors from lingering in your home or commercial kitchen.
- Grease and Airborne Particle Control: We all know that cooking produces grease and that the grease often builds up on nearby surfaces. This buildup is a fire hazard and health concern. Exhaust hoods capture grease and other airborne particles as you cook and prevent these hazardous grease buildups from being created.
- Heat and Humidity Reduction: Cooking generates heat and humidity, which can make your kitchen uncomfortable and affect the overall temperature of your home or establishment. This can cause heat stroke, exhaustion, and general discomfort in the kitchen. Hoods capture the heat and humidity and release it outdoors to help keep your kitchen comfortable.
Types of Exhaust Hoods
Most people think that there is only one basic type of exhaust hood for all kitchens. This is simply not true. There are four main types of hoods to choose from and we will explain each below:
- Wall-Mounted Hoods: These are the most common type and are installed against a wall above the cooking range or stove. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different kitchen layouts.
- Island Hoods: Island hoods are specifically designed for kitchens with a cooking range or stove located on an island or peninsula. These hoods are suspended from the ceiling to maintain the open kitchen concept.
- Under-Cabinet Hoods: Under-cabinet hoods are installed beneath kitchen cabinets, directly above the cooking range or stove. They are ideal for kitchens with limited space.
- Downdraft Hoods: Downdraft hoods are a unique option that pulls air downward and away from the cooking range. These hoods are often installed behind or beside the cooking range and are a popular choice for kitchen islands or areas where traditional overhead ventilation cannot be installed.
