Yes it is possible but not a good idea. If you were to put an ac in an enclosed room, it would not be able to draw in enough fresh air to justify the cost to cool the air. If you had some sort of way to duct the cold air to the inside and keep the aC outside would be better. Large AC units are often times installed in attics atop fau's 9heater blower units).

Is it possible to vent a Window air conditioner into the attic?

The discharge air can go into a attic... The real question should be where is the condensate going to go? Basically the setup is like this. I want to place a window air conditioner through or in a wall that on the other side of the wall is a attic that is over my garage that has no heating or a/c it does have both soffit and a gable vent. The condensation will be collected in a galvanized drip pan and PVC piped over to and out through the soffit. How does that sound to you? This should work. I think your high pressure will run a bit higher which in turn may be a bit more expensive to run. This should be a fairly inexpensive solution for you. Good luck!

How do you wire 2 new lights with on-off switches using wires coming from an existing outlet?

You can attach/splice into the power feed to outlet (ways of doing this can vary with how the outlet is wired but make sure that all or part of the outlet isn't controlled by an existing switch). You can then take the hot, neutral and ground to a light fixture or to the first switch, then to the second switch. It is normally easier to do this project by taking power to the light (s) first, with 2 wire drops to the switches, from basement or attic.

Proper Attic Ventilation 101?

Home attic ventilation is a necessity for every home. There are 2 main reasons why attic ventilation is a must. Heat accumulation and moisture damage are issues that can hinder homeowners depending on the season. Heat Accumulation During the warm and hot months, heat accumulates in the attic. When Summer is at it’s peak and temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the attic can reach over 150 degrees. If a home has poorly insulated ceilings, the air conditioner spends more time running than necessary. This can really affect the electric bills. Adding attic ventilation can reduce the temperature of the attic to only 5-10 degrees above the outside heat temperature. This greatly reduces the demand on your air conditioner. The affect is lower electric bills. Attic ventilation helps hot air to escape the attic. Without proper ventilation, hot air is trapped in the attic. Ventilation gives hot air a means to get out of the attic. Moisture Damage Winter brings cold, damp days. The moisture gets trapped in the rafters and attic space. Without ventilation, the moisture builds up in the attic, which can lead to damage. Moisture speeds up deterioration of insulation and other materials found in the attic. In addition to the deterioration, you can wind up with a serious mold issue. Anytime you have to get mold removal services, you are talking high expense. Ventilation enables fresh air to clear out moisture and prevent it from building up. Types of Ventilation There are a few different types of ventilation. Natural vents allow nature to do it’s job of providing fresh air and pushing out heat and moisture. Attic fans can be a great ventilation tool. Attic fans can be electric and solar. The cost of running electric fans are still cheaper than the cost of heat and moisture remaining in your attic. Solar fans are economical because you purchase them, install them and the costs are over, while the benefits continue. Attic heat and moisture can cause unwanted expenses for home owners. The simplest solution is proper attic ventilation. Home owners have a number of choices in ventilation options. No matter what choice for ventilation a home owner chooses, ventilation is a necessity to lower electric bills and prevent moisture damage.
