Can the inside unit be mounted against the ceiling so I could run the lines up through the attic and down an outside wall?

No. The indoor unit uses gravity to feed the water condensation outside. This requires a hole from the inside to the outside about 2 3/4 - 3 inches in diameter at a slight downward angle. Through this hole passes all of the indoor-outdoor connections, the power supply and the drainage to the outside.

You can mount the indoor unit below the outdoor unit if you buy a condensate micro pump: http://www.klimaire.com/index.php/micro-pump.html

I doubt it unless you have 2 X 6 studs you might be able to flush mount it and exhaust it into an attic with a 4 inch flexible dryer vent hose.

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

The basic design is set up for a wall mount. There is no electrical reason that it would not work in the ceiling. My only concern is the mechanical mounting of it.

Hi Laura, We put it in a Drop Ceiling and had to make a cover for the top of it, all the wiring comes out the top. It would not look finished if you did not mount inside the dry wall. I recommend getting it professional installed.Teri H

A hole has to be cut into the ceiling so that the unit can be securely attached to the attic rafters. This added height will provide for any flexibility that is required. Let me know if you have additional questions?

this is designed to go through drywall interior walls. It does not need to be near a stud, but requires standard drywall on BOTH sides of the frame to properly secure. If you have a drywall ceiling and a sheet in the attic, it would work.

Hi, from what I've learned, the attic would be considered as indoors, and this unit can do both. However, the challenge will occur with the installationof the correctly sized gas pipes that will be connected, to the unit in the attic. It can get costly! Good Luck!!

YES that is how I use it 2 vent my cat box area outside. I mounted it outside just beneath the soffit.

YES, mounting any ceiling flush light can be mounted in an exterior ceiling, If you have the clearance for its heightand all electrical meets code. If the trim is painted, remove the glass and give it an extra spray of Rust-Oleum front and back fora better protection from rust due to the moisture exposure

It would work great if mounted in the attic and ducted, might be a little noisy otherwise as it moves a lot of air.

It can be installed inside or outside as long as you can run the electric cables to outside walls- Things to consider when installing outside are increase in cost to run electric line outside, security i.e. someone can take the unit from wall, is the length of cable on this unit sufficient to reach the car in garage etc. My dealer has this installed outside so that all customers can use it.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

Unit is designed for indoor installation only. In order to use it outdoors you would need to purchase a weather tight cabinet to mount it into to protect the electrical components.

I use it indoors so I would assume that mounting it in a garage attic is fine, so long as you can get it wired to your TV.

Yes it can. You have to cut hole in wall and install outside vent. I did it my self. Got outside vent @ Menards. Nice unit.
