- ed25519FUUU 4y agoAre you describing something different than the overhead fan equipped above the gas range in most new homes?
- danans 4y agoThey are describing a system that automatically creates a path for replacement air when the overhead extractor fan turns on, which is also achievable by opening a window. Absent replacement air, stove extractor fans (like any extractor fans) cause an airtight house to experience negative pressure and reduce the effectiveness of the fans.
- thinkcontext 4y agoI believe you are referring to a Heat or Energy Recovery Ventilator (HRV or ERV). In the absence of a range hood they would be better than nothing. But they aren't designed for the large volume of air changes that cooking requires.
