Why do we need ductless chimneys?

Ductless chimneys are essential in modern Indian kitchens for several reasons. They efficiently remove smoke, odours, and grease from the air without requiring external ductwork, making them ideal for apartments and homes where installing ducts is impractical. Ductless chimneys use powerful filters to purify the air, ensuring a clean and fresh cooking environment.

They are easy to install and maintain, providing a hassle-free solution for improving indoor air quality.

Advantages of a ductless kitchen chimney

  • Easy installation: One of the primary advantages of a ductless kitchen chimney is the ease of installation. Since it does not require extensive ductwork, it can be installed in any kitchen layout. This is particularly beneficial for apartments, older homes, or kitchens with complex designs where duct installation can be challenging and costly.
  • Effective air purification: Ductless chimneys are equipped with advanced filters, such as charcoal and HEPA filters, that effectively capture and neutralise smoke, odours, and grease. These filters purify the air and recirculate it back into the kitchen, ensuring a clean and fresh environment.
  • Energy efficiency: Ductless chimneys are designed to be energy-efficient, consuming less power compared to traditional ducted systems. This energy efficiency helps reduce electricity bills, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for modern kitchens.
  • Cost effective: Ductless chimneys tend to be more affordable than their ducted counterparts. Not only are they less expensive to purchase, but the installation costs are also lower since there is no need for complex ductwork.
  • Maintenance and flexibility: These chimneys require regular maintenance, primarily in the form of filter replacements. However, this maintenance is straightforward and can be done easily. Additionally, ductless chimneys offer greater flexibility in terms of placement, as they do not rely on external ducts.

Difference between ductless and duct chimneys

Feature Ductless chimney Duct chimney
Installation Easy to install, no ductwork needed Requires extensive ductwork, complex installation
Air purification Uses filters to purify and recirculate air Vents the air outside, removes smoke and odours completely
Maintenance Requires regular filter replacement Less frequent maintenance, but ducts need cleaning periodically
Energy efficiency Generally more energy-efficient Slightly less efficient due to duct fan power consumption


While having a chimney in your kitchen is essential, it is usually accompanied by the hassle of having to clean it from time to time as well. However, if you have an auto clean chimney installed in your kitchen, you get freedom from all the manual work that comes along with cleaning your chimney. Learn about this feature so that you are aware of the convenience that having an auto clean chimney can provide.
