This creates a vacuum inside your garage which is relieved by sucking in hot, humid air from the outside which now has to be cooled and dehumidified by the roll-around.

<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I had the same issue but luckily, the unit's hose was long enough IF I put the unit in the corner and next to the wall of the garage/laundry room. I cut between two wall studs and ran it behind the dryer and up to the window. It is probably less than 7' total hose length. Then, I sealed the hole with the tube sticking through it with spray-in foam and everything worked well. I considered cutting through the brick and making a nice exit but that hurt my brain.

It's a 2 car garage and I used a 14,000 BTU portable unit from Lowe's. The worst part was figuring out how to vent the unit. After looking at different possibilities, I wound up cutting a hole for the tube and exhausting it out the laundry room window as designed. It worked perfect and cools down the 22' deep garage from regular closed garage temperatures in Southeast Texas (read freakin hot and humid) to 75-78 in a few hours.</div>
