Would I be able to vent out a window that leads to a enclosed Sunroom or does it need fresh air to vent?

You should always vent AC air exhaust outside and not into another enclosed area.

I agree with the previous respondent. Can you open any windows in the sunroom? At least some of the hot air would escape that way.

I do not see why not. The sun room would get really hot though. If you have a window I would leave it cracked a little, just in case. The owners manual is on line. I would check to see if the exhaust is something other than hot air and water. When I am outside I do not smell anything. It is almost like exhaust from a dryer. Hot moist air.

Yes you can vent to an enclosed Sunroom. But, your Sunroom will receive all the moisture and heat generated from your Koldfront Air Conditioner. So, It would be much better if you could open a window or door to the outside in order to remove the heat and moisture that will accumulate in said 'Sunroom'............

Our windows lead directly outside, and we placed thin sliding doors on the outside over screen to close the area when we leave or if it rains.I don't know if that would work with a sun room.

I think you would need some sort of venting to occur in order to prevent expansion from the heat. It works very well the way it is designed.

Yes, it does have to be vented to extract the warm air. It instructs venting through a window. I don't know if hte attic would be acceptable. You could always call the company! Hope this helps.

I do not believe venting through an open door is an option. There is a hose that goes to an 8 to 10 inch piece of plastic that extends to fit under a window that is part way open.

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

The vents are open all the time. This is not a 'fancy' item but is practical in terms of allowing air in a room while keeping insects and rain out. (Happy with mine-)

no, you don't need one, since you should have your window open to ventilate the area any way.

no that would put people at risk of carbon dioxide poisoning etc. other problems would include excessive moisture. the vent must go to the out side world. It does not need to be vented through the roof but according to building code it must be located specific distances from windows and doors.

No. You should always have ventilation to the outside. When we camped, we put this in our tent, near the door, and we left the front of the tent unzipped a small amount and put a basket in the hole so that the tent flaps would remain open. The tent stayed very warm. Allowing for airflow did not cause the tent to become cold. I would say you could put the heater near a window, and leave the window open a small amount to allow the air to flow and the heater would still keep the room warm. As a side note, you can use one or two propane bottles, depending on if you want to use high heat or medium to low heat. You might need to keep two bottles in the heater and place it on high heat when ventilating the room, depending on how big the room is. I highly recommend watching all the safety videos that are available for this product. Keep this away from small children or fluffy pets. If it tips over, it's supposed to automatically shut off, but I'd be sure to put it on a flat surface where children cannot access it.

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.

There are NOT any roof vents with this tent. We used it for the first time this 4th of July weekend for a 4 day camping trip on the Hood Canal in WA state. 80+ degree sunny weather all 4 days with nights in the 60s. The tent was amazing and ventilated very well. Just keep the zippered windows and doors open about 6 inches from the closed position (They are all screened) and you will have excellent ventilation and privacy.

Yes it needs to be vented outside. Any true air conditioner needs to have a vent outside otherwise you'll never get it to cool the air. It's the same basic physics why a refrigerator does not double as an air conditioner by leaving the door open.

I got this for my daughter, so don't personally have experience, but my daughter doesn't vent through a window. She does have it in the entrance hallway of her very small home, and keeps the sliding door open a bit for air transfer. She lives in a very dry climate, and she says it works well.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

There are ceiling mesh vents that allow for air flow and ventilation. it might be a bit of a stretch to call these vents a true window though as their main function is to provide air flow when the rein fly is in place.

Yes, this unit must be placed in the window to pull fresh air in and exhaust out the hot air. It is a great unit that cools the space well.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC
