Default HVAC bros, whats my best bang for buck?

pretty mild temps here, but I'm getting old.

Looking at the mr heater big maxx. 80k btu unit. I have gas and 120v 15A right by my planned mounting position.

I have never used a forced vent heater, can I really go right out the side wall?

Thanks for any tips.

Yup just run it out the side and past the eve. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines... but that is how I commonly do it.

Customers and myself (for the most part) don’t want to put any more penetrations in the roof if possible. So running out a sidewall is a great option. Personally I think it looks worse than going out the roof though.
