does this have to be vented out of the window

Yes it does. Air conditioners work by transferring the heat in the air into the refrigerant contained in the unit's coils, thus cooling the air. In order to keep cooling, that heat has to be exhausted to the outside air.

Hi Diana, yes, the unit has to be vented outside the area you are trying to cool off. It comes with the materials to vent the unit outside a window. If the office you have has a dropped ceiling you maybe able to vent into the space above your office space. I did that, vented exhaust into roof space.

Yes it does need to be ventilated but it only takes me about 5 minutes to do that . All your doing is running a hose out the window .

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

Yes, it does need to have access to w window. I've never heard of one that does not need some way to exhaust the hot air it produces. Would love to hear if you find one. Good luck!

The heater does not have to be vented. I hung it and started using within an hour.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

YES - all portables air conditioners need to vent through a window. A vent kit comes with the unit so you can easily - very easily install the kit in most windows - sliders or the up/down windows. The hose I do not use. It is for the purpose of allowing continuous draining into a small pan. Instead I simply unscrew the drainage plug at the bottom of the unit to let any water (condensation) come out. After running the unit all night on about 68 degrees, the amount of water is about 1/4 of a cup. It's a great unit and I am well pleased with it.

Yes. It must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. Because I have crank open windows, I wasn't able to vent the unit through a window. I opted to drill a hole through an exterior wall for the vent and placed a dryer vent on the outside for the connection.

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

No, but this is a combination microwave and range hood that draws air from the appliances below. You may want to vent those outside. It has a vent outlet that can be connected to an external vent pipe if desired. Otherwise it blows out the front of the unit.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

Yes. You can leave the heat off. It still will 'jut' out from the wall because it has a vent system behind.

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

Not at all. No venting necessary. Just keep a window or two, cracked open a couple of inches.

You can keep your window screened. The vent doesn't go much farther than the window. I love this unit. It's small but cools very well and it's easy to set up.
