Can I use this all year in MA? Can it be installed inside if vented outside?

Well I am in MS so there inst much snow getting it but I think it is the BOMB! I use mine inside but I live in a converted stable so venting hasn't been a problem but I don't see why not

Yes it can be installed inside with a vent. But the water and the unit needs to be in a warm area. it will take a long time to let the water run before it get's hot and then in less then 20 mins it turns cold again.

Yes this heat works great under any condition. The outside temp has no effect. And yes u can use it inside but you would have to vent it outside

No, this is designed to be installed inline somewhere between the fan and the exterior vent. It's not designed for external use.

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

maybe with a good heater but I probably would say no..supposedly you can buy a tinderbox to put inside of them for heat that is why the top is vented but I wouldn't use it for winter.but is a very nice time very happy with ours thinking of getting another

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.

I would advise against it. The whole unit should be protected from exposure to water, snow...precipitation in general. Your best bet would be a "doghouse" type enclosure or lean-to that would allow it to breathe and vent exhaust, and keep it dry. There are several folks that have done this with other types of generators that they want to use in snowstorms, etc., without destroying the unit or subjecting the residence to carbon monoxide or fire danger. Google or youtube search "generator enclosure".

Yes. The unit is installed in a 800 SF rental cottage. My tenant reports it does a good job cooling in +80 deg outside temps. I don't know how much the tenant uses the ventilation feature.

Yes this unit does need to vent outside -- it comes with a plastic tube that I use to vent it to a window around 4' off the ground. It blows all the hot air outside, so I cannot see how it could be used without a window nearby. The moisture pulled in by the unit feeds out through a small tube at the bottom of the unit that I drain every few days (inside). This is separate from the hot air that needs to vent outside.

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

Yes it could be use anywhere.. just note that it require an 8 inch duct to vent out

It does not need to be vented outside per say. It can be ran in a closed room. However it is much more efficient when it's venting outside.

No you cannot, this unit needs to be connected to a ducting that is properly vented to the outside!

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

This unit in only suitable for protected outdoor installation. There is no way to vent the fumes through a duct, Noritz makes another model for that.

Hey there. No. It doesn't need to be vented outside but I found that if I don't, the windows get steamed up on the cold glass. AS month back I was able to have my windows open and I had no trouble. I am using a "Indoor Lint Trap Filter" that cost about $35 bucks from Amazon. I love it but I am going to work on a way to vent it out my window for the winter. I use the dryer about 4 times each week sense I got it and I have not seen any real increases in my electrical bill. Love it. One other thing to add. Keep the internal lint filter clean and you'll get little to none lint out the hose. I used my girlfriends knee high stockings over the end of the exhaust opening and I have not seen any lint at all. I empty the inside lint filter after every load. Best of luck with your purchase and happy Thanksgiving. Hope this helps.

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.

No, it is not approved for indoor use in Massachusetts. Due to more stringent safety codes in Mass it is certified for outdoor use only. Aside from the manual and packaging label on the box, there is no difference between this heater and that the Big Buddies that can legally be sold in the remaining 49 states. This however, might be the only version you'll be able to get shipped to Massachusetts.
