Can anyone recommend a good handyman who can install portable air conditioner ductwork through a lanai kick plate? The only thread I can find dates back to 2015 but no mention was made as to who the person hired. Would like someone who has done this before and who is highly recommended. We have the unit and currently have it ducting through the lanai door. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Here is how I vented mine, bought a piece of 1 x 8 pine, had a friend cut the hole as I don't have a jig saw or saber saw, any carpenter can do this for you. It works very well.

Where/how does the exiting condensate flow/get out?

Trough the air hose exiting the area cooled. It exits as a vapor as opposed to collecting it as water.

Thank you for your reply and photos. We have a dual hose AC unit that came with an installation kit. Our lanai is small and going through the kickplate under the windows seems like the best solution for us. Hopefully, someone will come to our rescue and will know how to do it! Your installation looks nice!
