Does it have to vent outside?

Building codes aside for a second, I thought odors were an issue and that venting inside will work from a function standpoint, there is the odor issue. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

Yes. You can not vent inside a structure. If you were mounting outside a garage the go with this unit. INSIDE a garage you NEED and indoor unit that exhausts to the exterior thru a vent. Mounting this unit in your garage is like running you car inside with the door shut - it will kill you from the CO2.

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

It is made to be ventless and works great. Not sure how you would vent it to the outside, you would be losing heat.

Yes, it does need to vent outside. Not sure about Buckeye, but we live in Southern California and we haven't had any issues with the bucket filling up too fast. We've had it over a year now and it works great.

Yes. Through a window or a hole cut in the wall. We cut a hole. I think they all have to be vented.

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

It must be vented. For an inside version, use B vent and follow your local building regulations. In our county, stainless vent pipe is not required.

Yes it is vented at top. But any outside umbrellas need to be closed if a wind storm comes up. I try to do this for all my umbrellas

Yes, you need to vent it for it to work properly. The window kit is super easy to install and remove. I recommend this unit.

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.

Yes, the unit can be vented through an outside wall with the recommended Rinnai/Ubbink vent piping. I would recommend obtaining the Rinnai RU80 Installation manual, (available for download), on the Rinnai website. Proper venting is discussed in great detail as is other important installation requirements.Good luck with your install, this is a quality water heating devise, installed properly.

Yes it must be vented as all portable air conditioners must. If not, they would just blow the hot air they are exchanging back into the room you are attempting to cool.

For cooling it does need to be vented out. The dehumidifier or fan can be run without venting.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

The short answer is no. When the air conditioner is running, it needs to vent freely. This is for use in the winter when the air conditioner is off. Check out the mesh cover which you can use in the summer to keep out debris.
