Yes, they do have to be exhausted, unfortunately. They all have to have somewhere to expel the heat energy they have removed from the room being cooled. However, there are

multiple options you can use when exhausting the unit. One creative portable AC owner replaced his fireplace screen with a sheet of polycarbonate plastic that was custom cut to adapt to the exhaust hose fittings of his single hose portable air conditioner. This kind of installation will not work with a Dual hose air conditioner. But if you are a bit creative, there are many ways to exhaust the hot air created by a portable air conditioner.

Yes!

All portable air conditioners need to vent the hot air they remove from the room. However, the hot air need not be vented outside a window.

As an alternative to installing a window AC unit, many companies manufacture free standing portable air conditioners that range in size and price depending on the size of the room the unit will be used to cool.
