Does a convection oven need ventilation?

In general, plan on about $200 to $500 depending on the complexity of your installation. This includes the labor cost of installing a new vent hood and does not include parts, adding or modifying ductwork, or electrical work.

Summing up, all ovens need to be vented. Since 2007, almost all manufacturers have designed their electric ovens to have a venting system inside. However, it is best to have some sort of venting system in the kitchen to remove the hot air, pollutants, smoke, grease, and odors from the kitchen air.

These units are efficient, versatile, and great for cooking, baking, roasting, braising, sous vide, proofing, fermenting and more.

Range hoods are made to improve the air quality of your kitchen after cooking. They remove odors, grease, smoke, and fumes produced by using your stovetop. The appliance sucks up the polluted air and filters it (as with a ductless model) or is carried to the exterior (with a ducted model).

We sometimes have customers call in asking if they need a vent hood for their electric stove. The truth is that you should consider a vent for your electric stove. Even if you cook one or two times a week, a vent hood can be beneficial for you. It will clean your indoor air and improve your indoor air quality.

Most residential building codes do not require a range hood above a cooking surface, but is that enough to forego having one installed? Even though it may not be legally required for your build or remodel, it is a good idea to install one.

Most residential building codes do not require a range hood above a stove or cook top, but you’d be wise to ensure your locale is not the exception. Even if it’s not legally required, you should think long and hard before forgoing a hood altogether.

Unvented Range Hoods: An unvented, or ductless, range hood has a fan but no duct. Instead, it uses several types of filters to clean the air, and then recirculates the air into the kitchen (these models are sometimes called recirculating hoods).

Because combi ovens create steam, they typically require an exhaust hood by code. To understand exactly what you may or may not need, check your local codes to find out requirements. Some areas allow common exhaust ducting, while others require fire-rated grease ducting – a more complicated, costlier alternative.

Yes, electric deep fryers need to be under some sort of hood just like their gas-powered brethren. Many chefs prefer equipment powered by natural gas, which results in some kitchens being almost exclusively powered by gas, but the natural gas powering this cooking equipment isn’t the only reason you need a hood.

Summing up, all ovens need to be vented. Since 2007, almost all manufacturers have designed their electric ovens to have a venting system inside. However, it is best to have some sort of venting system in the kitchen to remove the hot air, pollutants, smoke, grease, and odors from the kitchen air.

Generally, in the U.S., you don’t have to vent a residential gas range to the outside. But, we recommend that you buy a range hood to vent contaminants from your gas range to outside your home. It will dramatically improve your indoor air quality and reduce the risk of long-term respiratory problems.

Convection ovens do not have vents. They use a fan to circulate warm air inside the oven that heats your food evenly. If you want to vent your convection oven to the outside, we recommend a professional range hood.

Does a Convection Oven Require a Hood? Most commercial convection ovens are required to be under a Type I hood, but there are some exceptions. Some ventless convection ovens are designed with a hood built into them, eliminating the need for a commercial hood.
