I am lucky. I can open all my windows and get the whole house ventilated nearly every day. But I have learnt through your videos why ventilation is so important. Thank you for all your helpful information
I’m glad they share the info and it makes sense, but it all still seems so theoretical. I wish there were some real world studies on different levels of carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, etc. based on the comparison of different range hoods.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I love your videos, I've been watching a bunch of them - but the AUDIO really sucks. It's a bit muddled, sounds as though maybe there is too much compression? You're working with all these expensive appliances, giving expert opinions on service stats and so on, you've got over 50K subscribers... you need to get somebody who understands audio production to tweak your mike setup or make sure the audio is not getting messed up in the final render. (please)
Could you discuss proper height for ventilation? During house shopping I came across a few that were so low you’d have to duck under them, and some so high I could see inside them from across the room. Mine is almost 40” from cooktop and I can barely reach the switch.
I’m confused about the 5-year warranty reference as I went to check the PCHLV136 and the warranty document linked in the product page states it has a 2-year warranty.
With all of the discussion about proper venting, I cannot find anything about single-family, residential house roof vents. The Big Box stores have flimsy models and the area of the openings is less than that of the 8" duct. There are also a wide variety of types; some sit flat on the roof, restaurants seem to have the big swirling raised units, while others seem like they are only for bathroom vents. In the Northeast, where we must consider snow, should they sit flat on a pitched roof, or be raised. I just want something with quality construction that achieves the objective, matches a decent CFM of 800 or so, without breaking the budget. Are there any references or resources to get me pointed in the right direction?
@@YaleAppliance1 The reason I ask is that not all companies make island hoods, especially the inserts. If you could do a video on island inserts that would so helpful. Thank you.
@@YaleAppliance1 Yes, it does matter. Island hoods are designed differently from wall hoods because of how smoke, steam, etc. need to be captured...walls assist in the capture of those things in a way that is impossible on island. One need only look at the design differences between the Wolf wall hoods and the island hoods. The interior is different for a reason. Are you saying you didn't notice or know this information?
I was talking about the process of building a wood hood....That said, island hoods are always specified as 6 inches larger than the cooktop because you don't have the wall for capture....
Hey bud, how much does the PUCCMXX1 in 30” weigh? Can’t find that spec on website and also when you search by 30” size on your website the Yale brand doesn’t show any results for some reason.
@@YaleAppliance1 thank you for taking your time to help me what is a baffle filter? I am almost done my kitchen reno and need to get a hood I wanted intergrated cuz I don't want to see it but I don't know what to get
Yes, I don't understand the argument for a deeper range hood when the sucking up area is still just about 10 or 12 inches deep. How is that any better than a slide out model?
This is one of the areas where it's a shame Yale doesn't sell Viking, and you didn't mention them at all despite them having a very large range of styles & sizes of excellent pro hoods, including the chimney style (both wall and over-island types) with blower motors up to 1500cfm.
Steve is that really you?? Sorry too and totally perplexed ,.. I took a snapshot of my comment (clearly showing)however-not able to upload it. Here is a copy and paste of my comment 9 days ago.… Steve, Good morning. I have been agonizing over new appliance decisions for my kitchen remodel and have taken due diligence to an exhaustive level to avoid past costly mistakes. A new range hood with proper capture area and cfm’s (1200) for my needs is required along with a new 36”gas range and refrigerator. I have read all your ventilation blogs and viewed countless topics on your RUclips videos to help make an informed decision, glad to see you revisit such an important topic. I am torn between the Yale PWLCL136SS (1200 CFM) and the Wolf PW362718 (1200 CFM). The question is will the Yale 25” deep1200 cfm hood effectively capture everything? Is the 27” inch deep 1200 cfm overkill? Yale hood is my preference. Also, I am purchasing a high quality Exterior Hooded Wall vent with spring loaded damper and gasket (USA manufactured). I have read that a 10”D round duct is best for anything over 800 CFMS. The Yale PWLCL136SS hood has conflicting specifications.The installation manual depicts a 10” round vent transition and your Spec sheet diagram shows the same 10” round, yet when you scroll down the spec sheet the 36” unit “Duct Transition” reads 6”/8” Round with Backdraft Damper. Can you please clarify. My currant setup is a 36” 6 burner all gas range. I cook 360 days a year on the stove top, broil and bake regularly. I have a VAH wall mount 36”W 24”D 18” H 600 cfm dual blowers back vent directly through an outside wall (zero run) that sits 33” above the range. I was “sold” that it was “the” top performance hood and touted for its “quietness”. It does not work effectively and drives me mad as I watch the smoke and grease billow past the front of the hood leaving lingering odors and particulate matter (grease) all over the front of the hood for additional regular clean up maintenance. I can provide a detailed list of cons to this hood as I use it daily. I have a 14 1/2 inch round pan I cook with regularly on the front middle burner. Looking forward to your reply, your leadership and Yale team is exemplary! Kris

Thank you...
I agree very difficult to follow
Very informative, thank you
Steve, I’m here in IL and I can’t get these Yale units, what is a comparable unit of one you’d recommend from ABT here
Love Abt..Look at Wolf, Zephyr....
@@YaleAppliance1I wish you guys were local, but ABT is glad you’re not! Steve, what about Wolf, I have to buy the blower separately it seems?!?
Yes..on many brands, Wolf, Thermador, Best.
In the US, any vent hood over 400 cfm requires makeup air per code. Failure to do so can dangerously depressurize a home when the fan is in operation.
Could you discuss proper height for ventilation? During house shopping I came across a few that were so low you’d have to duck under them, and some so high I could see inside them from across the room. Mine is almost 40” from cooktop and I can barely reach the switch.
Depends on the hood, but 30 inches off the top of the range seems like a standard
Great video
Do you have a recommendation for ventilation hoods for a high rise condo? There is a ventilation stack we can tie into
Forgot to add ; thanks- enjoy your videos
What about Proline hoods? They're just as big with higher cfm and lower priced?
Don't know them...tell me more
I’m confused about the 5-year warranty reference as I went to check the PCHLV136 and the warranty document linked in the product page states it has a 2-year warranty.
Its 5...must be a misprint. Every Yale hood is 5 years.
With all of the discussion about proper venting, I cannot find anything about single-family, residential house roof vents.

Are there any references or resources to get me pointed in the right direction?
Many of the brands like Thermador, Wolf, and Best have decent outside blowers...
Can you do a video on the best island hood please? Thank you.
I could I suppose....its just the 4 sided versions of these
@@YaleAppliance1 The reason I ask is that not all companies make island hoods, especially the inserts. If you could do a video on island inserts that would so helpful. Thank you.
The insert goes into the hood...doesnt matter if it is island or wall
@@YaleAppliance1 Yes, it does matter. Island hoods are designed differently from wall hoods because of how smoke, steam, etc. need to be captured...walls assist in the capture of those things in a way that is impossible on island.

No mention of Zephyr hoods?
Hey bud, how much does the PUCCMXX1 in 30” weigh? Can’t find that spec on website and also when you search by 30” size on your website the Yale brand doesn’t show any results for some reason.
I am not sure...Can find out
Did Yale sell its hoods out of state?
We could....but we typically do not sell what we cannot service.
r intergrated hoods anygood the ones that use charcoal?
Baffle filters allow the air through easier
@@YaleAppliance1 thank you for taking your time to help me what is a baffle filter? I am almost done my kitchen reno and need to get a hood I wanted intergrated cuz I don't want to see it but I don't know what to get
Mettalic....Its solid metal without the mesh
@@YaleAppliance1 can you give me a company that I should buy this from and which model that is good please thank you
Wolf, Best....are pretty decent
These hood designers should try to move the location of controls.
Controls take up 6” of the area.
Yes, I don't understand the argument for a deeper range hood when the sucking up area is still just about 10 or 12 inches deep. How is that any better than a slide out model?
Checkout the Home Ventilating Institute's Certified Home Ventilating Products Directory.
Thank you!
You know there are much better microphones out there.
probably
Needed
I will get it done....

Never even thought of Viking..its been that long
YALE hoods that you own brand? did you mention ducting width vs motor strength ? You can't buy a hood without that info
No question....depends on the hood. Most hoods are 8 or 10 inch round
Nothing like doing my homework then being skipped over (snubbed by Yale) while others ride my coattails and get acknowledged with a yale response
I am sorry...I didnt see your query. And still do not. That said, how can I help?

bigger problem than a vent
