From the obvious reason of increasing the resale value of your home, to the not so obvious like removing excess heat from the kitchen, the range hood is without a doubt one of the most important but largely underappreciated kitchen appliances. Art of Range Hoods, based in Vancouver, WA, shares the following Top 10 Benefits of purchasing a Range Hood.
 

10 Benefits of Range Hood Installation:

1. Improves Air Quality: The most important job of the range hood is to filter and remove hazardous air pollutants produced by cooking. Your hood ensures smoke, grease and steam are removed from the kitchen before you inhale these harmful particles.
2. Carbon Monoxide Prevention & Protection: Household cooking and heating appliances are the main source for carbon monoxide poisoning. A hood will help prevent the chances of a carbon monoxide leak in your home by removing this dangerous gas!
3. Reduces Odors: Cooking smells can linger long after you’ve enjoyed dinner. Turning on your hood will suck out unwanted odors, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean.
4. Removes Excessive Heat: Along with odors and hazardous gases, range hoods also remove excessive heat produced by steam, increasing the comfortability of your kitchen.
5. Easy Cleanup: Kitchens lacking range hoods experience a sticky film behind the stove and above the cabinets. That film is caused by built-up grease, excess moisture and dust particles. Make your daily kitchen clean up easier by installing a hood, which permanently eliminates that built-up grease!
6. Low Maintenance: Speaking of easy clean up, our range hoods offer exceptionally low maintenance! The high quality copper or stainless steel simply need a daily wipe with a soft cloth and warm soap/water, wipe again to dry and that’s it! This easy upkeep ensures you never need additional lacquering!
7. Luxurious Style: Besides their practicality, range hoods are gorgeous centerpieces that will compliment your beautiful home. Browse through our custom kitchen range hoods gallery to see some of our previous work.
8. Love your Kitchen (again): After taking the time to completely customize your brand new range hood, you’ll be looking for any opportunity to spend time in your kitchen. Enjoy weeknight family dinners, dinner parties, holidays and more around your beautiful range hood.
9. Cook in Comfort: While we all love the holiday season, those who do the bulk of the cooking typically dread this time of year. Eliminate hours spent in a hot, stuffy, steamy kitchen by purchasing a range hood! You’ll be begging to host Thanksgiving and Christmas in your home once you’ve installed one of our designs!
10. Increases Resale Value: Aside from health and safety benefits, above all your range hood is an investment and will increase the resale value of your home immensely.
