Range Hood Size above a 24" Oven - Proline's Expert Guide
Table of Contents
When you're planning your kitchen layout around a 24" oven, choosing the right range hood size is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. We consistently recommend a 30" range hood for 24" ovens.
Quick Recommendation: 30" Range Hood for 24" Ovens
Proline's sizing philosophy is simple: For your 24" oven, a 30" range hood provides the perfect 3 inches of overhang on each side, giving you excellent coverage without overwhelming your space.
5 Reasons Why 30" is the Sweet Spot (Not Bigger)
While some manufacturers suggest going much larger, Proline's engineering team has found that 30" range hoods deliver everything you need for a 24" cooking surface:
Optimal Coverage
The 6" total overhang (3" on each side) effectively captures cooking fumes, steam, and smoke before they escape into your kitchen.
Proportional Design
A 30" hood maintains proper visual balance with your 24" oven, creating a professional appearance without dominating the space.
Efficient Performance
Proline's 30" models provide powerful ventilation with options from 600 CFM to 1200 CFM, which is more than adequate for any cooking you'll do on a 24" surface.
Cost-Effective
You get professional-grade performance without paying for unnecessary size.

Ductwork Considerations
ProLine recommends a minimum 6" round duct for most 30" range hoods, with more powerful models requiring larger ducts. For 24" oven applications, standard 6" ducting is typically sufficient. Be sure to check your model's spec sheet.
The Bottom Line
As Proline states in their sizing guide: "We always recommend that, when possible, our customers buy hoods that are one size larger than their range." For a 24" oven, that means a 30" hood - no more, no less.
