Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 06, 2015 1:14 am Hi everyone, I need some kind of ventilation for my kitchen, but I don't know which one exactly. I haven't seen any sign of mould or damp so far but when I cook, the cooking smells travel all over the house and there is a lot of condensation. I think this can create mould problems in the future. It might also affect the quality of the air in the rest of the house. So my question is: What is the most appropriate solution to avoid condensation and cooking smells? - Is a good extractor fan enough to do the job or do I need to fit a cooker hood as well? - If I purchase a cooker hood that extracts the air outstide the house instead of an extractor fan, is it supposed to do the same job as an extractor fan? - Do a need an extractor fan and a cooker hood? Thanks in advance for your help! Lisa Re: air extractor, cooker hood or both? 2Jun 06, 2015 9:33 am Hi Lisa. The best option is a rangehood. Because they sit much lower than a ceiling exhaust fan and have a much larger catchment area they are far more efficient at catching and removing condensation and smells than a ceiling mounted exhaust fan. You want to make sure you duct the rangehood to a roof vent so the smells and condensation are expelled to the outside and not just recirculated or pumped into the roof cavity. Even an exhaust fan should be vented externally and not just into the ceiling space. As long as you live in a single story house it's easy enough to fit all of this.
