My house was built in 1950, with it still has the original attic installation. How long does the installation last? is it time to update or add more>
Turn off the humidifier
Yes. This will prevent heat loss and condensation.
Yes, it is possible to install a junction box in an attic. However, it is important to ensure that the installation meets local electrical codes and that the junction box is accessible for maintenance and inspections. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for proper installation.
If there is no air circulation between the insulation and the roof, it could get condensation, which ultimately could cause rotting.
It is really easy to install a solar attic fan. You will get plenty of information on installing solar attic fan on internet. When I bought my solar attic fan, I wanted to install it by myself. I confess, I am not a handy man kind of guy. It took me more than 1 hour to install one on my roof. While I was on the internet searching installation guide, I came upon this website, they have step by step installation guide. I recommend that you follow the manufacturer guideline with this step by step guide and your attic fan will be installed before you know it.
Cut it off. An AC unit is supposed to remove the humidity from the air and condense it to water which you pump outside the house. I may not be clear on the problem here but I would try to prevent outside air from entering the attic.

Unless there is another source for bulk water (recent precipitation, plumbing leak, etc) this is caused by condensation. When the combination of the surface temperature and humidity reaches the dewpoint, condensation occurs. In the sillplate area, this can be caused by cold air leaking in from the outside. In the attic it is caused by warm, moist air leaking into the much colder attic. Both can be stopped by air-sealing work. Contact your local energy auditor or home performance contractor to solve this problem.
Most likely this is condensation due to the cool air flowing through the duct. The duct should be insulated, thus helping to prevent this condensation. Check the attic space and make sure the duct is insulated, any gaps can cause the condensation. Other possibilities are waterline leaks, roof leaks, air handler pan overflow, etc, all could cause water to find the way down the ductwork. Not likely though, it is probably just condensation.
There are some strange noises coming from the attic.
