A convertible range hood is a type of range hood that can be converted from ducted to ductless, or vice versa, depending on the layout and ductwork of your kitchen. It is designed to remove smoke, steam, grease, cooking fumes, and odors from the air in your kitchen, with or without ductwork.

Convertible range hoods work by drawing in moisture, smoke, and grease through an integrated fan while cooking. If configured for ductless ventilation, convertible hoods pull those elements out of the air and out of the home through the ductwork. In contrast, convertible hoods with recirculating ventilation use a series of filters to help clear the air.

One of the main benefits of a convertible range hood is its flexibility and ability to work with both ducted and ductless ventilation systems. This type of range hood gives you greater control over the ventilation type used for your home, and it is a great option if you dont currently have ductwork leading out from your kitchen but plan to install some in the future.

Convertible range hoods are available in a variety of sizes and styles, including both ductless and ducted options. They are relatively easy to install, and you wont have to worry about changing your existing ductwork unless you choose to.
