Can we use this unit to exhaust hot/humid air from rec/office/laundry room to garage.Can electrics be placed on unheated garage side

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.

I use it to push hot air from my basement stairway to my living room. Not humid air but moves the heat well.

This is not a "bathroom" fan or a kitchen exhaust fan...both of which are designed for high moisture. But the humidity you describe is probably not nearly enough to cause problems. If the fan does fail prematurely, it's certainly cheap enough to replace after 4 or 5 years. Remove the intake cover and clean it regularly to extend the life and monitor for corrosion. If you see rust, clean the rust and paint the frame and blades to extend the life.

You will need an exhaust hose. Hot air blows out of the exhaust port and would just go back into your room, defeating the whole purpose of the air conditioner.

Not in the immediate area, but I run it in the house with pets in another room no problem. If you have a house HVAC unit circulating air it shouldn't be a problem.

Needs to be installed in an open area where it can take in large volumes of air and also needs to exhaust through the roof unlike the electric units?

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard

We are using ours to exhaust air from inside the crawl space to the outside. I don't believe it is intended to work the other way around.

I doubt it. Its function is to remove dust particles. I suppose if your garage is very wet, some moisture will be attached to the dust and removed that way. I found a de-humidifier the best solution, but, it was possible to plumb it in, so I had no problem of disposal.

On a hot day this ac .Puts off a lot of hot air and depending on humidity, water. Your room would be hort without a anway for exhaust to escape...

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

Yes. The unit needs a hose to run to a duct or out a window to keep the humidity from persisting. I believe a 4 inch flexible duct will work fine.

Not recommended as you would be able to smell fumes. Garage works great as it is somewhat vented

Probably, but it's highly not recommended to do that. You'll just be blowing hot air back into your room, defeating the purpose of this machine.

Should be no problem, as long as you have enough static vents to supply air when both are running, these are usually located in the eaves. If you don't, you could create a negative pressure situation and suck air from inside your house. Although I don't see the point of having both go out, the point is to remove heat from the ceiling. I would think going from the shady side of the house to the sunny side, both blowing the same direction would be the most effective way to do that.

This heater works well with its fan blowing the heat, but how well for a garage will depend on how large your garage and it's placement, I would think. Good luck.

Exhausting into the same room would defeat the purpose of running the air conditioner. It has a feature specifically for dehumidification, that can be shut off, but by running the air conditioner it will somewhat dehumidify anyway. Also, be aware that this unit is REALLY weak. It does not work very well, at all. Has difficulty cooling even a very small space. Window shaker style AC unit work much better.

Mine is installed on the supply side. I left as much space as possible between it and the ac coil. I spoke to a few HVAC pros and they recommended to keep it on the supply side rather than on the return side using hot water This is a drip design and uses a fair bit of water meaning a lot of extra cost if hot water is used. Additionally the return side is cool air which can't carry as much moisture as warm air can. Install on the supply side with cold water; you'll be fine. My home is 3800 sqft and this unit keeps the set humidity level all winter long with no issue.

I use it as an air purifier. I truly do not think this will help a hot room. It has lasted a long time and is pretty good as a purifier in my hall. I only used it one time as a cold air unit. To me it was a nuisance, and it would have to be right in front of you. I have an additional window a/c unit for my bedroom that works well. You can get those pretty reasonable. I honestly do not think this particular item is your answer.
