Hi does this need to be vented? and has anyone calculated what it costs to run this off propane monthly?

The heater does not have to be vented. I hung it and started using within an hour.

I have mine in a garage that's about 730 sq ft and it is not vented and there are no issues. The cost I have not calculated but it depends on how warm you want to keep the area. I just want to keep my garage around 45 degree so the water lines don't freeze.

Doesn't need to be vented and it sucks the propane! Not real happy with it.

You need to use metal venting. I had previously had metal for two former heaters. My unit is gas fired. PVC would not be recommended.

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 .

Here is the manual. http://vagabonders-supreme.net/Wave_Catalytic_User_Guide.pdfThe tank should be outside. It has an overfill valve that can occasionally vent propane, especially when overfilled or if the tank gets hot so you want that outside. This tank does need to be purged before first use. Usually that can be done at your local RV/Uhaul Propane refill station.

You need oxygen and a gas that will burn. I use propane.you can buy both at most hardware stores.

Your building code will let you know if it's okay. Some states let you have a propane ventless but not natural gas and there's restrictions as to what room you may install the unit, as in not a bedroom. And yes a gas line is needed for the gas unit. I put in my line but I'm a building contractor, so unless you are handy you will need a plumber to install the line.

I am actually planning on doing the same with mine. I figure with a little imagination you could rig it up. I'm gona try to put into utility room and put a Y on my dryer vent hose and run the dryer and generator both out of the dryer vent. So my wife won't have to go outside in bad conditions to crank generator. I plan on only running mine on propane anyway unless I have to use gas so I don't gum up carb.

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.

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

Can't offer any info on the propane question, we have both of ours hooked up to natural gas. They are great, did not disappoint us and never needed any venting.

Not recommended if using gas due to lack of vent. I use mine on the porch of my cabin. If you are using it on 120AC or 12 Volt, it should work fine.

This heater is ventless. No vent needed. I would get a carbon monoxide detector, even though the heater has an oxygen sensor that will cut off the unit if the oxygen level falls below 19.4%. The heater works well, maintaining a constant temperature. 20,000 BTU is a lot of heat. We use ours as a supplement to our heat pump in very cold weather so it doesn't go into emergency (electric) mode.

Hi, we just ended up getting a bottle propane for a few bucks. I am not sure about running it from a gas line on a camper. So sorry. The product itself is great and we have it attached to our boat. We love it!

Only thing you need is the propane tank, I haven't had to use mine but did take it out and look at it, it looks pretty simple to hook up and use, my only concern would be using for a long period in a small space.

I checked on the PGE website to look at my hourly charge. When the stove was on it added 10cents an hour. Where I live that's about half the cost of propane at about $3 a gallon. I switched over to electric heating last winter and literally cut my heating bill in half!
