If you just bought a house with a kitchen range which has a basic extractor fan, it is recommended that you invest in a new one. It is essential to keep your ambiance clean to avoid health problems as the grease, fumes and moisture released from your cooking can be hazardous to your lungs and only a good extractor fan can give you purified uncontaminated air. Kitchen extractor fans have two basic classifications, one being a wall mounted extractor fan and the other a ceiling extractor fan. Wall mounted extractor fans are much easier to clean than ceiling ones however ceiling fans are ideal for cramped space and much more effective. Ceiling fans are also easier to install and remove. These usually do not have much of a price difference as the lowest quality starts from almost the same range, though they do differ in prices as the quality improves.

A further classification brings you to hood extractor fans that are set right above your stove and are effective in immediately removing unhealthy smoke. These come in various categories that can either remove air by exiting it from your home or simply recycling it. Hood extractor fans also come with filters and these ones are more expensive. Range fans are another category that removes air quite efficiently; however they use the traditional home chimney. So if your restyling your home and have space issues in adjusting your stove below a chimney or you live in a flat that doesn’t have one, you shouldn’t go for a range fan but rather opt for a freestanding cooker fan that doesn’t even require an exterior wall but comes with a built in charcoal filter to ensure air purification. Freestanding cooker fans are more expensive than a range fan.
