Can a 20 amp breaker be replaced with a 30 amp if small window unit causes lights to dim when compressor kicks in?

No, the breaker is there to trip at 20 amps because the supply wiring can only supply 20 amps max at that point. So a larger breaker could give you a house fire.

Bad ground.
What causes your kitchen halogens lights to flicker or dim?
Assuming there's nothing wrong with the light circuit itself, usually a large load on the same branch circuit (circuit breaker) will cause this. Is your refrigerator on the same circuit? When the compressor kicks on, it will drag down the voltage on the entire circuit. This is most easily noticed by flickering or dimming lights.
What if lights do not work but outlets work?
You probably blew the breaker for the lights. While usually the lights and outlets in a room are on the same breaker, it isn't always done that way. And you may have blown the light bulbs in the lights.

What causes my lights in a room to not turn on?
One very common reason why the lights in a room don't turn on when you flip the light switch is this: when an old light bulb fails - this usually happens just when you switch it on - the excess current causes the lighting circuit's circuit breaker to trip to shut off the current.To get the other lights to come on you must locate the tripped breaker in your breaker box and turn it back on.The old light bulb can then be replaced - but, before you unscrew the old bulb, always remember to switch off the lights off first!As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
