Buy your new wall mount chimney right from the links and take that load off your shoulder.
Checklist:
A. Size (Width of Chimney): 60cm, 75cm or 90cm? Get the right size as per the clear space available between the Kitchen Wall Units( if any).
Impact of Size: Bigger size gives more coverage area, if stove size is more than 60cm or if oil usage is more in your cooking then go for 90cm.
B. Suction Power: Higher suction power means better smoke removal but it also means more noise. Go for the one with high suction power but a low decibel (dB) value.
Recommended: Suction > 1000 m3/hr. Noise: Not more than 58dB
C. Filters:
1. Baffle Filter: Go for this if cooking is intensive in oil and spices. It can be easily cleaned and has to be done in 5-6 months. Baffle filter with Auto-Clean is the best combo.
2. Filterless: Want to go for this? Opt for low-oil style cooking and save yourself from cleaning filters and heart problems.
D. Exit Route, Size, Type for Chimney Pipe:
1. Route: Shortest length ensures lesser vibration and more effective suction.
2. Size & Type: Go for 6inch Aluminium expandable pipe and get a 6inch CORE Cut done on the exit wall before fixing the wooden cabinets, as core cutting is messy.
NOTE:
Installation is done by the brands' installation team. Call the respective customer care and arrange the demo & installation. Do not install the chimney on your own, it will void the warranty.
The installation charges are extra for most brands and the aluminum pipe has to be requested from the installer(at extra cost).
