Cooker Hood Advice

padjo5

Hi,
Need to install a cooker hood in a kitchen which has never had one.
The socket is there and ready to go, so I believe just a matter of hanging it in place and plug it in. Currently a lot of condensation in the room when cooking.

What I would appreciate is advice on whether a 'recirculating' approach on a Hotpoint Hood (by buying and installing the carbon filter) will remove the condensation that occurs when cooking, or will that merely remove the odour from the cooking steam?

If so, is the only alternative to purchase the ducting kit and drill the hole in external wall and pipe the steam outside?

Any advice appreciated.

A filter only fan does that exactly only filters not extracts.
You need to drill a vent out off the fan if you don't do this your only wasting your time and money

As Robbie says, without venting outside, it's only for show.
