Default Can I install a window air conditioner into the attic?

The problem with this is the window is in the front of the house, and
it looks ugly. My question: Is there any other way I could still use
this window unit?



Very bad idea. Pumping warm moist air into the attic can cause
damage. It will also increase the temperature up there adding more
heat to your home and since the air up there is hot, it will reduce
the efficiency of the air conditioner.

Consider a split unit where the compressor/condenser is located
outside on the ground and a small conduit is connected to the
evaporator in your bedroom.
