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!
