What are Standard Range Hood Dimensions? Range hood dimensions most often measure 24”, 30” or 36” in width, but can span anywhere from 24” to 60” wide. It’s best to install a hood that measures the same size as your cooktop to most effectively capture the grease, odors and smoke coming from any burner or element below.

How far should a range hood stick out?

The standard height for a range hood is between 28 and 36 inches from the cooktop for a gas range and electric range. 28 inches is the minimum height. If the hood is any closer, it may become damaged. Any further than 36 inches and your hood won’t move air away from your cooktop efficiently.
