Does the unit have to be vented outside or is that just for the de-humidifier drainage?

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.

Yes, the unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

I didn't have a window that would work so got a longer hose that is insulated and stuffed it into the duct in the bedroom. It's not the prettiest but it is working.

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.

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

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.

NO, Must be vented to outside. go to rinnai website and down load manual for installation and see instructions for installation.

It is my understanding that all air conditioners vent out air that is not breathable and could be detrimental to your health if not properly vented. That is why they are typically installed in windows. If it was simply a de-humidifier you could just empty a bucket, but an air conditioner is much different.

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

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

No, the Venta works off relative humidity. It only evaporates as much water as the from room needs.

You must be thinking of high energy efficient furnaces that produce condensation moisture and there is a special venting process that allows the water to drain. The process with this heater does not produce moisture, there is no vent, and I have not had an issue.

All climates have humidity, some less than others. There is a valve in the back that you can put a 3/8" hose (included) to do what little draining might be necessary.

I have not needed a drain in Alabama where it is pretty humid. The unit has a built in evaporation system that pumps out with the exhaust. But also I don't use it everyday or all day. I travel and only use it a few days a week when at my travel job.

You can vent to the outside, similar to a portable ac. I do not use the hose attachments. The filter on the back does the job and well. If I had a crawl space, I would use the hose to vent it. The cartridges are expensive but so worth it.

It is vented to the back. Sides are solid tin or closed if you will.Today I went back to P.C. Richards and return my AC. Good luck with your purchase because that noise issue is not problem with every unit. That's what see that other people are saying.

Yes. The water flows from the reservoir into the base where it's wicked up by two evaporative pads (inside the housing). The air flowing over these pads becomes humidified and exits the top of the unit.

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.
