I am using this in a indoor grow room without any windows. Can I box in the back and exhaust the heat through ducting(not blocking side vents)?

yes, you can. two key for this: a. exhaust ducking as big as possible. b. distance can not too long, otherwise exhaust fan will not enough power to push hot air out.

The manufacturer recommends that you don't, I think either for safety reasons having to do with the heat of the exhaust tube, or for performance reasons, or both. I had to change the installation location of my unit for this reason. However I can say that this is a great AC and I'm very happy with it all around. Performs very well, not too loud, blows very cold air, keeps my 450 sq ft studio in Brooklyn cool throughout summer. Tips: 1) use fans to help circulate the cool air around your space, particularly to push it into adjacent rooms that don't have their own AC; 2) switch ceiling fan(s) to the reverse (blowing up rather than down) position, so as to push the cool air up and flush out the hot air at the top of the room; and 3) don't turn the unit off when you're out, just turn the temperature up - it's more efficient than letting the space heat up and then having to cool it down completely each day.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

That's a tough call with the supplied information. If the room is going to be used for a single purpose...how much light and would you be supplying the air from outside to the room than outside? Ultimately get as much fan as you can afford (think long term) and a GOOD speed controller. You can always turn it down but you can only go so fast. My fan came as a 440cfm. Don't forget ducting and band straps. I hope this helps

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

I do not believe venting through an open door is an option. There is a hose that goes to an 8 to 10 inch piece of plastic that extends to fit under a window that is part way open.

Yes, unless you were to cut a hole in the wall, go up into an open-space ceiling, etc. to vent it. That's because the way all air conditioners work is to pull the room air into them, "divide" it into warm and cool air, and blow them both back out separately (an oversimplification.) If the warm air is not vented to somewhere other than the room, it would just blow back into the room and defeat the reason for using an a/c in the first place.

This unit can be installed with or without external vent. If you can not install external vent just do not do any changes. It will exhaust from it top front through a charcoal filter which is already installed by manufacturer. Aman

yes you can, it moves about 250CFM about a much as a 6 or 7" air duct can handle, a bigger duct say 8 or9" will allow it to move a little more. Very quite. needs a switch or relay to control the cycle on and off. not for high heat.

Most of the heat comes from the sides and not the back. I don't know how that will work in your situation.

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

You would need to run a exhaust duct think it is four inch. It doesn't need to be insulated.

Yes. Just have to insure your vent out the wall has a way to stop wind from blowing back into the exhaust. Mine is through the wall. Lowes has metal vent with a back draft preventer or flap built in it.

I seriously doubt it, the back panel would block most of the warm/cold air coming from your vent. not to mention the temperatures from your a/c can easily be handled by today's smartphones! :)

The one I got was for non-ducted use and came with the interior ceiling mounted controls. It did not come with anything to heat.

I am using in hobby greenhouse with high humidity. Don't see why vent a crawl space would be a problem

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof
