 Due to the availability of a huge number of options in the market, buying a kitchen chimney is really a challenge. If you don't choose the right chimney, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Kitchen chimneys are not suitable for all sizes of kitchens. You may visit our article on best kitchen chimneys in India to know more about the chimney buying guide. Through this guide, you will be able to know in a nutshell, which model of the chimney will be suitable for your kitchen. After reading this article, when you know which fireplace will be best for you, now you should keep these seven key criteria in mind before buying.

1. Chimney Size

The size of your chimney mainly depends on the size of the stove available in your kitchen. The most commonly available sizes of chimneys are 60cm and 90cm you will find in the market. If you have a stove with two burners or less, you can go for a 60cm chimney. But if your stove has 3 or more burners, you should choose a 90 cm chimney.

2. Mounting Style

The mounting style depends on the construction of your kitchen. If you have a cemented duct built through your roof, you can go for a roof-mounted chimney. However, make sure that your duct and chimney are the right sizes. if you have a round duct, make sure that the chimney also has a round pipe as an exhaust. In the case of a kitchen with a normal exhaust hole, you can go for wall mounted

3. Suction Capacity

Kitchen chimneys are available with various suction capacities from 700 m3/h to 1600 m3/h. You can choose the suction power of the chimney based on your cooking style. If you are vegetarian and consume less oily food then you can go for the suction power of 800 to 1000. If you are a non-vegetarian then I suggest not buying a chimney with a suction power of less than 1100. If you consume more fried things. So in this case, a chimney above 1200 suction power will be suitable for you.

4. Style

Chimneys in India come in two options. One with curved glass and the other with straight glass. This decision is purely based on your taste. Although you should choose the one you think will make your kitchen cooler, I prefer curved glass if it is wall-mounted and straight glass if it is ceiling mounted.

5.Installation and included in the box

Most chimney vendors do not include the installation, aluminum duct and end cap with the chimney box and you must purchase them separately. These are included in the package of some kitchen chimneys. So, before buying a chimney, it is very important to check the details.

6.Service

Most importantly, no matter how good the product is, it doesn't have a good service line, so don't go for it. That's why it's important to check whether the manufacturer has provided service in your area before placing an order.

7. Filterless Technology

Chimneys nowadays come with filterless technologies. A chimney without a filter requires very little cleaning. These chimneys are often available in the market with oil collectors and auto-clean technology. They can be a little more expensive than a normal chimney but the service cost makes up the difference.

With these 7 points, you should be able to find the right chimney for you
