Heat from chiller
I use a 3/4 hp arctic chiller which works great. The only problem is that is puts of the warm air from the motor which heats up my basement. Does anyone have any ideas to cool down this exhaust air?

Vent it outside. You can make a duct for it with a small fan to move the air out.

Thats why you should just install them outside like I do. It's where you want the heat to go eventually so you might as well put it there to begin with.
