No You Can Put A Vent Valve On It But The Smell Will COne Out Whenever It Turns on

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

If all your using it for is laundry or sink drain you don't need too because there is nothing harmful in the fumes. I tried to put a air valve on the vent pipe but it proven yes the sink from draining. Since it's not a true sump pump you should not be putting any human waste in it.

No. I vented it in the room that it is being used. I ran a flexible pipe above the sink to prevent overflow. I don't get any odor and it works well.

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

It needs to vented out a side wall,max thickness of 12".the unit dosen't use inside room air for combustion,which is very good.

It is vented with louvers on the top and grill on the back. It can be used through the wall or the window. Mine is through the wall and I am very happy with it

Yes it does need to be ventilated but it only takes me about 5 minutes to do that . All your doing is running a hose out the window .

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.

For cooling it does need to be vented out. The dehumidifier or fan can be run without venting.

Yes you should vent it outside. It works very well and you do not want to put the moisture from the bath into the attic. It may cause mold to develop if not removed

It vents directly thru an outside wall. Everything you need to vent it is included with the heater

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

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

It is made to be ventless and works great. Not sure how you would vent it to the outside, you would be losing heat.

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

Yes it needs to be vented outside like any gas water heater, should use stainless double wall vent pipe

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

No, you just hang it from the ceiling. I quess you can put that exterior in the drywall but it has little holes so if you do that there won't be any venting when the lights get hot.

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.
