Can this unit be vented if you want to vent it outside? I know the ventless produce more moisture inside and I want one for my basement which is too

Though it is not vented outside, the moisture issue can be mitigated with an inexpensive dehumidifier. Though this will have some energy cost to operate the dehumidifier, the energy all ends up as useful heat plus you also recover the energy from condensing the water, so it's not as bad as it might seem.

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 - this unit has to be vented to the outside by using a hose connected to the window kit. I do not know of any portable air conditioning units that are standalone by not using an exhaust to the outside. I am happy with this unit and would purchase another one.

This unit does need to be vented outside but it doesn't need any other drainage. The vent is just to bring fresh air into the unit.

This unit in only suitable for protected outdoor installation. There is no way to vent the fumes through a duct, Noritz makes another model for that.

This one is vented to the outdoors. Mine is attached to a roof vent. Hope this helps.

I would not advise it. Anytime you vent into a possible closed space such as an attic, you risk the chance of condensation and mold issues. Although ugly, if you purchase so extra flex hose, you can run it into another room for proper venting.

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

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

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

Must be outside. The venting and unit are one. That's what makes the product great. They have indorr units. The must be vented to the outside.

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

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

I believe you need an indoor unit with the proper venting otherwise you may burn your house down. I have an outdoor unit as pictured and it puts out a lot of heat when it's on! If I remember correctly the indoor units have venting that can accommodate the heat produced.

It needs a vent, I have 2 of these units and they work great if you are in a humid climate you may need to run the drip line somewhere but if not the internal tank does great and I haven't had any issues in eastern Washington with water building up.

This unit can't be vented through a window anyway. It has to be vented through an outside wall which is what I did. It doesn't come with the hardware to vent it through a ceiling space but it would work. Your installer will need to review what you need. Might not be to attractive since here are two hoses that come out the back of the unit. Works great for us! Good luck.

A true vent exhaust should always be vented outside, never into the attic space. You will cause moisture causing mildew and mold into your attic.

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