Does it still need to be vented outside when using as heater?

Yes, because of the way it heats and cools the opposite will be coming out of the exhaust as I believe it just inverts the process it uses to heat or cool. It's what's known as a heat pump.

Must be outside. The venting and unit are one. That's what makes the product great. They have indorr units. The must be vented to the outside.

Furnace vent must be vented to the outside. The blower in the furnace will blow exhaust out to the vent but must be to the outside. As long as the vent is on a upward slope so the exhaust will go up and out, should be OK. Top of the vent on the outside should be upward above the roof at least 2 feet for it to operate OK. My vent is 2 feet above the edge of my outside garage and works just fine.

Yes, it does need to vent outside. Not sure about Buckeye, but we live in Southern California and we haven't had any issues with the bucket filling up too fast. We've had it over a year now and it works great.

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

Yes, the unit can be vented through an outside wall with the recommended Rinnai/Ubbink vent piping. I would recommend obtaining the Rinnai RU80 Installation manual, (available for download), on the Rinnai website. Proper venting is discussed in great detail as is other important installation requirements.Good luck with your install, this is a quality water heating devise, installed properly.

Yes, you need to vent it for it to work properly. The window kit is super easy to install and remove. I recommend this unit.

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).

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

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.

This unit is designed to be vented outside. Hopefully you already have the duct connections to an exterior hooded vent. I've seen it vented to recirculate in an attic space, but that's definitely not recommended and isn't code-compliant in most jurisdictions. I have 2 of these in my own home and just put 3 in my parent's home. Love it!

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.

The unit does not need to be vented, but does draw 12 volts of electricity and it's just generally not wise to have high voltage items near water. That said - let wisdom be thy guide, I like to use mine by my hot tub in the winter and we're just careful to keep it far enough away that it won't tip over into the water.

No, you have an option to use it ventless or vented. Very pleased with the product.

I took mine and placed it on my vents with the heater on. You can place it outside if its warm and wait then place into a widemouth container like i did.
