How do you vent a portable air conditioner?
Portable air conditioners come with a vent hose that can be placed in a nearby window or vented through a hole in the wall like your clothes dryer.
Can a portable air conditioner be vented through a fireplace flu and chimney?
Yes, this is a great way to exhaust a single hose portable air conditioner. You would simply need to adapt the hose connections to the front of your fireplace. I have seen an installation where the front of the fireplace was sealed with a piece of plexiglas. The plexiglas had been custom cut to fit the portable AC's fittings.
Can a portable air conditioner be vented into the home's central ac vents?
It can, but you will lose effectiveness, the fan is not meant to push air through a whole house, it is only meant to cool the room it is in.
Must all portable air conditioners be externally vented?
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.
Is it safe to vent a portable air conditioner into a garage that has an open window?
No. Air conditioners should not be vented into a closed garage (even if there is an open window). Heat buildup poses increased risk for fires.

Does the Whirlpool over the range microwave need to be vented outside to work properly?
No, but most can be vented upwards or rearwards. The location of the microwave has a lot to do with venting. Ideally, you want to vent odors and moisture outside. Structure and asthetics also have to do with location of the vent.
Does a portable cooling fan cool the air?
If it is just a fan, it will not cool it, it will simply blow the air around. To cool the air, you need a portable air conditioner. This will suck air in, cool it down, vent the hot air out (usually through the window, but can also be vented out through the roof or into a different room) and put the remaining cool air back into your room.
Why are air vents placed on the outside wall of house?
They are on the outside wall so they can be vented to the air outside and not throught your house.
