Do recirculating kitchen extractor fans work?
A well-designed, quality recirculating kitchen extractor fan uses advanced technology to extract unwanted air from your kitchen. The only difference between ducted range hoods is how they do it; ducted hoods will extract air and move it outside; ductless hoods keep the air inside the kitchen, but use filters to remove any harmful particles before pumping the air back into the room. They just use a different method to achieve the same results.
The Benefits of a Recirculating Kitchen Extractor Fan
Wondering why so many people are looking to buy a recirculating range hood for their kitchens? The answer is pretty simple — because they offer a whole host of benefits that make them a no-brainer for homeowners looking to add function and style to their kitchens. If you’re still on the fence about adding this type of fan to your kitchen, then just check out some of the many benefits it offers. First and foremost, there’s the matter of efficiency. Ductless systems are extremely efficient at getting rid of unwanted smells and unclean air from your kitchen. Of course, this is only true if you invest in a quality recirculating kitchen extractor fan — there are plenty of inferior models out there that’ll be overly loud, with poor results. By buying from World CopperSmith, you can rest assured that you’re investing in one of the best ductless systems on the market.
They’re Easy to Install
There are advantages to buying a ducted system, but there is a pretty big downside — installation is a little complicated. If you’re OK with going through the process of adding a ducted system to your kitchen, then you won’t regret it. It’s just that it will likely take longer than if you’re adding a ductless system.
Ductless systems are easy to install for the simple reason that you won’t need to add ducting, which can be difficult to install. You can have your recirculating kitchen extractor fan system up and running in no time at all, without requiring any specialist skills.
They’re Better for the Environment
Looking to make your home as eco-friendly as possible? Then a recirculating kitchen extractor fan could well be the way to go. These systems are generally considered to be better for the environment than ducted range hoods because of the system they use. With a ductless system, all the air is kept inside your kitchen, rather than being pumped into the outside world. It’s debatable how much damage would be caused by residential homeowners that pump smoke, odors, and pollutants into the atmosphere, but we can all probably agree that it’s better to pump no air at all into the atmosphere!
There Is a Range of Options
You’ll have a vision of what you want your kitchen to look like. When you buy a ductless range hood system from World CopperSmith, you’ll be able to select from a whole host of styles and colors, allowing you to get an extractor fan that looks like it was created with your specific kitchen aesthetic in mind. The first goal is always to ensure that the extractor fan is functional and does what it is supposed to do; but let’s be honest, we all want our kitchens to look as great as possible. At World CopperSmith, we offer a fantastic range of beautiful ductless range hoods that’ll help you to get the kitchen that you’ve always dreamed of.
Is a Recirculating Kitchen Extractor Fan Right For You?
Installing a recirculating kitchen extractor fan isn’t right for everyone. But there are some situations and scenarios where it’s not only the right way to go; it’s the only way to go.
For example, if you live in an apartment where it’s not possible to add a ducted system. Even if you own your property, a ductless system can be better since you won’t have to go through the expensive and labor-intensive process of adding a duct to your kitchen.
In addition, this type of fan system may be best if you only have a small kitchen and don’t require the added power afforded by ducted systems. Even if you have a big kitchen, if you don’t cook that frequently, then a recirculating kitchen extractor fan will more than meet your needs.

Heaps of terminology float around the world of kitchen ventilation. It can be confusing to decipher the different options available to you.
In this blog, we'll explain what's meant by "recirculating cooker hoods," also known as ductless hoods.
What does recirculation mean on a cooker hood?
A recirculating range hood (also known as a cooker hood) is a ventilation system that cleans your kitchen air through carbon filters before recirculating it back into your space.
A ductless range hood works without the additional ductwork required for ducted range hoods; their primary appeal.
Do you need to vent a recirculating cooker hood?
The nature of a recirculation hood is that it does not vent outside. CopperSmith's ductless range hoods use a heavy-duty charcoal filter, which purifies your kitchen exhaust thoroughly before the insert fan returns your air to your space.
This process occurs completely in-unit, easing installation and simplifying your kitchen ventilation plan.
What's the difference between extraction and recirculation?
The difference is the final destination of the exhaust you seek to filter. A ducted hood sends your stove's polluted air directly to outdoors through ducting. This is simpler (ie. requires less ductwork) if your stove is against an external wall, as the ducting has a shorter distance to travel.
Recirculating range hoods do all of the work of cleaning your kitchen air without removing the air from your home. By forgoing ductwork, these hoods are easier and cheaper to install, especially if you have opted for one of our island hoods since these models will be situated farther from the outdoors.
How do you install a recirculating kit?
Once your hood is properly installed by a professional, World CopperSmith's ductless conversion kit is incredibly easy to install with the provided instructions. Your hood will be ready to filter ductless in no time at all!
