making sure: this needs to be installed through a wall? and it both heats and air conditions a room? how exactly does this install?

You will need to a hole approximately 2 3/4" to 3" in diameter to connect the coolant lines between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Although all of the lines are included, you may need to hire a professional to cut the lines to the correct length and to also purge the lines. You will also need to run some wire to power your outdoor unit. The outdoor unit powers the indoor unit via a cable that is included.

It does have to go through the wall, because it is ductless.Yes, it is both heat and a/c, it is working well for me, the display flashes for a while until it heats up, then kicks on.You'll need someone to install it though, and then do what they call" purge and charge" and put about 2 lbs of coolant. That's not cheap, because the HVAC guy has to spend 1.1/2 h. there.I hope that helps, obviously I'm not an expert...

Yes. Unit is mounted on the wall and a hole needs to made through to the outside so you can run the connections to the outside unit. There are several good videos online for installing ductless cool/heat systems. This unit can heat and cool a room, just select the option you want on the remote control.

Yes it does need to be installed through the wall. However, it only needs holes for the inlet and outlet and for power; the unit itself hangs inside the room (just like hanging a photo frame). And, it also heats and cools the room (make sure you are buying a unit described as heat punp - the model mentioned here is a heat pump and it has worked for me well - heating and cooling. I would recommend a prefessional to install it as it will more than likely needed additional runs to the depot (or the likes) if the base unit is mounted far from the wall unit. Heating takes few minutes to turn on and cooling is almost instant. Good Luck. Yes it does need to be installed through the wall.

Yes, unless you were to cut a hole in the wall, go up into an open-space ceiling, etc. to vent it. That's because the way all air conditioners work is to pull the room air into them, "divide" it into warm and cool air, and blow them both back out separately (an oversimplification.) If the warm air is not vented to somewhere other than the room, it would just blow back into the room and defeat the reason for using an a/c in the first place.

you place this unit in the supply air grill in the room your trying to get more air flow into and low the temperature of the room. As the air is blowing in your room that you have put this unit in. This unit has air blowinto the unit and blows out the air from the unit with an increase of air blowing in your room now with a lower temperature as well.

Don't know aas it is a counter unit and needs to be vented enough to disapate the heat build up I guess one can build a space a few inches bigger than the unit and slide it in that space. I was thnking myself of doing that under an island counter but leaving it clearance to slide in and out with a plug in the back.

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.

This unit has a knob that you manipulate for temperature, you would need to be able to reach it every time to turn it on to the desired temp and then turn it off. Also, it needs clearance around it and because it would be installed on a ceiling where all the warm air rises, I would not think that would be optimal, for multiple reasons as above.

This device generates heat so it needs to be mounted in a ventilated metal box if it's going to be visible. I have mounted these inside cupboards mounted to the side wall and on top of cupboards. I always shim the device so that air flow is all around it

Nancy-Mind you I am not an engineer, just a consumer; it means that the heat flow is regulared electronically to provide warmth in incriments of two degrees ( I think that 2 degrees is right) and that the unit measures the termperature in the room and then modulates only exactly as much energy (gas) as it needs to keep that room at the temperature you set. So it uses very little energy to do it's job and keeps it at a great level vs blasting you with a lot of hot air to bring the temperature up. Mine has been in for a year and it is wonderful. I did pay a professional to install it in NJ in a 20 by 17 by 9 ft high space with two windows and a door. It is perfectly toasty, my gas bill is very low (due to the modulation) and the unit is so quiet. I previously had electric base board heat that was making it too hot or cold and the electic bill was unreal. This Rinnai also warms the room up in a matter of minutes from a cold start. One of the best things we ever did. I was skeptical of ordering a furnace on amazon, but it worked great, all parts arrived intact. The unit has very good instructions should you want to try install yourself. The direct vent is also the only way to go in my opinion. My room is insulated but overly so for this area of NJ. I paid about 450.00 to have the unit installed. I rarely, never write reviews but am so pleased with the success of this Rinnai that I am happy to answer your question. I hope this infomation is hellpful.

Its pretty simple. Plug into the wall. One side has a female for your heater to plug. The other side as a female plug for your mister/humidfier to plug into to. The control planel allowes you to set temp. And humdity to your prefered lvls. Set the measurement guage inside the habitiat and let it do all the work for ya :)

It is installed in the duct work of the HVAC system. It does both. Extremely simple install.

It will cost a lot if you are trying to heat a room with this on its own 24/7. I would have less concern over running this unit 24/7 due to being attached to the wall. Once it reaches set temp it runs on power save (500 watts) to maintain temp.

The air flows in the front panel and out a vent on the top of the unit. You can definitely put the unit in a corner or up against a wall.

Well I would not because it takes in fresh air from the rear of the unit with a filter. So in my opinion the unit would over heat if you set it flush, because it could not get fresh air.you could probably get by with moving it a few feet away from wall so as not to restrict air flow.

The fan requires venting to the outside. I had mine installed by electricians doing work in my house as you may also wish to use a new multi-switch to control the various functions of the product (light, night-light, fan and heater), followed by ducting the fan to the outside via a contractor the following week (our contractor charged $125 for this service). If you're handy, perhaps you can do these yourself, but in my case, the costs of installation greatly exceeded the costs of the fan.

Yes it can be installed in a wall and the installation manual is available on Frigidaire's website if you want to review prior to purchase. I did not need to purchase anything special. Works great in my 11 x 17 sun room.

There is a double wall on this heater. I was thinking like you where this is concerned. I had an older heater of this type that i could leave a pot of water on. The top of this one is only warm.

Has a small fan to distribute the heat. I have it set up in a finished basement that can get pretty cool both summer and winter. The area is large and the heater does deliver decent heat . It doesn't 't cook the room but definitely takes the chill out of the room.
