Size Matters

If you have a standard 2-3 burner stove, a 60cm chimney is sufficient. For larger 4-5 burner hobs, always opt for a 90cm chimney to ensure all smoke is captured effectively. Brands like Sunflame and Kaff offer excellent options.

Suction Power

For Indian cooking involving deep frying, a minimum suction power of 1200 m3/hr is recommended. High-rise apartments in Raj Nagar Extension or Indirapuram might need even higher suction depending on the length of your chimney aluminium duct.

Ductless vs Ducted

Always go for a ducted chimney with a proper chimney aluminium duct if possible. It throws the smoke outside. Also consider long-term maintenance; for instance, the Elica chimney service cost is generally very affordable in Ghaziabad.
