No, It doesn't have to be vented thru the wall. But, if it a small space it a good idea to crack a window.

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 must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.

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, it needs to be vented out the window. It comes with an adjustable vent support to set in the window. Otherwise you will be adding hot air from unit to room you are cooling. I am very satisfied with our unit for cooling our second floor bedroom.

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.

Not sure. The vent is on the top of the unit and is a fixed size. Not sure if you can reduce it. The venting is a big deal with this thing--it has to be done right. If you are going right thru the wall the vent has to be pitched down otherwise you will need a way to get rid of the water that is produced while the unit is running.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.

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...

NO unless specifically designed for through the wall installation it is NOT. Air conditioners have exterior vents on the side panels of unit for cooling the condenser coil . If they are blocked in a sleeve or through the wall installation the unit will not work correctly. Through the wall units have NO exterior side vents and all cooling of condenser coil is done through just the rear of vent of the unit.

Yes. You need to vent all the exhaust air out of your place or else the hot air will just recirculate in the room preventing it from cooling the room.

All Air Conditioners need to be vented as far as I know. Otherwise hot air will just blow out into the room and negate the cool air flowing out. This one in particular though has a hose out the back to be vented out a window.

YES - all portables air conditioners need to vent through a window. A vent kit comes with the unit so you can easily - very easily install the kit in most windows - sliders or the up/down windows. The hose I do not use. It is for the purpose of allowing continuous draining into a small pan. Instead I simply unscrew the drainage plug at the bottom of the unit to let any water (condensation) come out. After running the unit all night on about 68 degrees, the amount of water is about 1/4 of a cup. It's a great unit and I am well pleased with it.
