My husband wants to install a window air conditioner through the wall between a room and the back end being the garage is this safe to do?
NO! the wall between a garage and home is "fire rated". that, in a nut shell, means fire resistant. any penetration through that wall will comprimise the fire rating. this means several things: if a fire starts in the garage, the fire (or smoke) can possibly spread to your home easier/quicker it would be a building code violation, which may have to be repaired upon sale of the home. it could possibly give the insurance company a reason to deny a fire claim "house was modified out of building code and therefore caused more damage" even if you did install it, your garage would get extremly hot. the heat from your home is rejected to the garage. the best alternative is to install a "mini-split" or "ductless air conditioner".
