Does heat pump compressor introduce air into home air????

Posted by vic on March 7, 2007, 6:54 pm

I have a heatpump outside my condo in a ventilated louvered closet off
of my balcony.
The blower unit is in a closet inside my condo.

If I vent a kitchen range hood exhaust fan to the vented closet will
the exhausted kitchen air somehow end up in the a/c air in my
house???

Thanks for your help

Yes. And everything will be covered with grease.

WHY??? Would you want to do that in the first place???

Vent it to the outdoors directly... follow the manufactures installation
instructions!

Make sure you throw all your garbage in there too. While your at it,
vent the bathroom into there too. When you sweep up the kitchen, toss
that in there. Maybe put your dirty clothes in there.
