Best Answer

40 - 42 inches. Less than 40 inches you could bang your head on it, if you're tall. More than 42 inches it'll be less effective. Range tops are usually set at 34 - 36 inches so overall height to the hood is 6' 2" to 6' 6". If you are taller than this the range top and hood both will probably need to be raised.

Keeping The Grease Away With A Hood?

Installing a kitchen hood in the home will keep your kitchen cleaner. Place the kitchen hood over the stove to trap the heat from the stove top as well as the oven. The heat will not get in the rest of the home as much as if there was not a hood. When you are cooking, the hood will also prevent grease from splattering all over the counters and ceiling. The hood can easily be removed if you don't want it anymore or if it needs to be cleaned.
