I live in Atlanta. Who do you recommend to install? We need it to vent out and will have to punch through brick exterior walls.

Yes, we are pretty happy with it. The switch controls works by hovering the fingers on it, not by press. It is doing a great job for us

Not really, go for the AC units which do a better job with brick/concrete walls...

You might want to try Duct Seal. You can buy a brick of it at Home depot in the Electrical Department. Pretty cheap.

NEITHER. You need a HVAC Contractor to install it. You can do some of the simple parts of the job to help reduce the total labor cost.

Well I'm going to be honest to be considered 'code' all dryers should vent outside, big or small. They do sell kits that will vent your dryer inside but they are basically just a cup of water which the discharge blows into in hopes the water catches the dust. They don't do the best job at catching dust. Another option would be to get a HEPA rated vacuum bag and cut a hole in it then stick your hose in and duct tape around it until you have a perfect seal. When the bag gets too full just change it with another. Doing this will still dump all the humidity and heat into your living space which may or may not be a problem. Your best option is if you are able to make modifications to your apartment or live in a house then get a contractor to install a proper vent to the outside for you through the wall.

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

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.

Tom Allen...your answer made me laugh so hard that I could hardly breath! Too funny! I'm about to order one of these. I live about 100 miles east of Atlanta. I hope I don't take THAT grid down! By the way, my company's HQ is in Denver. I'm a full-time telecommuter. If you are the one responsible for the power outagages, I'll have to get a Denver cohort to track you down! <grin>

I would ask a home contractor about that. I believe that it would have to vent outside the home to meet building code. Although, I do see your point!

This particular unit has to go out side. Its not vented properly for outside. So only outside.

Installation instructions really aren't very helpful. They are terribly translated engrish and basically say: screw into wall, use 6" duct to exhaust to exterior of building. Probably would be better to find a generic hood vent install guide on a blog or YouTube.

No, please dont This specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio

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.)

Depends on your configuration... http://www.rinnai.us/commercial/venting-accessories

This should be installed behind the gable vent. Squirrels wont be an issue unless they are already. You will also need an appliance cord or some romex to connect power to the thermostat.

It will work both ways. Vent comes set up to work inside but (in my case) I converteed it to vent outside. Easly done. H.
