I want to put in my basement which does not have any windows. Does this A/C unit need to be vented outside? Thanks

It is not physically possible to build a machine that cools a room and does not vent. An air conditioner is a heat pump; it sucks heat out of a room and expels it through the vent.

This must be vented outside. You can still holes through the wood foundation. The hoses telescope out to about nine feet and do not kink

Yes, you definitely need to vent it outside. It comes with two hoses about six inch diameter each.

Yes. It needs two round holes (about 4-5" diameter) to work for a/c. Only one vent is needed for heater.

This unit is mounted outside the building so does not require additional venting other than what is right in the unit. There are also some units that are mounted inside the building, and those do require a vent to the outside.

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.

You need an open window to vent the air conditioner. There is a tube that attaches to the back of the unit and you stick it out the window so the air conditioner can blow out the hot air it sucks up and generates.

Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

Yes it should be vented to an on air conditioned area or a window. The unit has a fairly long hose. Unit worked well for us in our motor home.

It does not need to be vented outside per say. It can be ran in a closed room. However it is much more efficient when it's venting outside.

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

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.

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

Yes, it needs to be vented out the window. It comes with an adjustable vent support to set in the window. Otherwise you will be adding hot air from unit to room you are cooling. I am very satisfied with our unit for cooling our second floor bedroom.

I ordered it thinking it did not have to be vented....but in the instructions it states it does have to be vented (which is easy to do).

Note that this unit, as with all in-room A/C units, needs to be vented to a window in order to cool the room. In my experience this unit does not require any ADDITIONAL water drainage as many other units do. All moisture exhausts through the air hoses. However, in the manual it does say there may be circumstances where water collects in the unit and needs to be drained. Even in continuous 80%-90% humidity, I have never had this happen.This is a very good unit.

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 .

Yes all evaporative coolers need a window to be opened at least a few inches. It is free standing, though. It doesn't need venting like an air conditioner.

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.

I just bought this unit and set it up. My recommendation is not to purchase this one but one that has venting out the front bottom. This unit is meant to have open free standing in a room. Under counter types vent air from front back out where ever but not pulling air from back and vent to the back like this one does. Hope this helps.
