is this setup to be ventless?

It is capable of being ventless. You'll have to either buy the kit that has the duct work to push the air through the fins or build your own and buy the separate carbon filters that clean the air.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers

Yes, it's quite possible. No need for ducts, but make sure you have the carbon filters. If the filters are not installed, all the exhaust will filter into your walls/ceilings which is not good. Installation is pretty easy, but you also need 2 people because it's heavy. Also, if you can use toggle bolts to secure the vent to the ceiling, much more secure than the items they give you. It's a nice looking vent, I would for sure recommend.

YES. You need to vent anything with combustion. BUT this is the external module. The exhaust VENT is the narrow strip you see near the top front.

Yes, I have one of the base mounts set up using vents...Works fine, just take care when installing, the first time I compressed it all the way and when released the spring got dislodged...It was a simple fix and taking a bit more care next time I have not had any issues. That base also has a small foot at the bottom that allows for changing the angle of the unit.

Yes they are all vented and do not offer the same one non vented. I would recommend the Chill Out and About

Ventless? It's electric. The heat comes from the bottom. I guess those would be considered vents.

sounds like you need to buy a model that uses ductless venting. This model doesnt have that feature. Golden vantage has several models that come with a ductless vent although they dont work well but something is better than nothing!

NO VENTING REQUIRED FOR HEATER WHEN INSTALLED OUTSIDE! THIS MAKES INSTALLATION QUITE SIMPLE. Be sure you have an outside space to install that meets the requirements. Tom Swaffer tomswaxl@yahoo.com

Ventilation is built in along the front bottom of the unit as you can hopefully see in the photo. No need for any special arrangements to use as a built in. We've had it for about 6 months now and it's working beautifully.

It isn't direct vent, PERIOD. Maybe, I implied something???? Worked in installation, service of all types of gas appliances 20 years. Resend me my actuall comment & I shallreply!

No, Not that firebox. It is a non vent design. You can install firebox, just can't connect your stack to it. It was made specifically to be vent less. Good Luck.

We had to vent or separately and it seemed as of code required it. At least that is what the plumber suggested. A plumber needs to install it so the warranty does not get voided.

the vent is just pipe. depending on how long a run you have you may need more pipe. You will need shut off valves for the input lines and various other fittings.

Yes we have used ours for about 6 months and it works fine. Our vent was open to the outside before and we had wind noise, with this, no more wind noise. Our fans are fairly strong air flow but I think any exhaust fan would open it for venting.

Very hard to say, but presumably yes - it's certainly better than NOT having it. More importantly though isn't temperature, it's the fact that the vent helps with wind - it's not a sail in the wind with the vent, since air can travel through it. That fact has been very helpful with my setup.
