How do you put an air conditioner in a garage without windows?
Question:I have a TV in the garage to watch sports but it gets hot in the summer. Portable cooling units are too expensive and don't work well.
Answers:
Find a desirable location and measure the distnace between the studs. The location should be 6-7 feet from the garage floor. Find a A/C that will fit between them. Build a shelf inside the garage between the studs to hold the a/c. Cut a hole in the siding so the a/c unit will pass thru. You most likely will have to build a support on the exterior to help hold the weight.
Make sure you have a 110v outlet close to plug the unit in.
Assuming your garage is uninsulated and is a 2 car size try to get 5,000-7500 BTU unit.

put it on a crate, chair, or a bench.
Sounds like you want it all.. ..
Portable air conditioners are cheaper than putting a window in.
You could always cut a hole.
Just don't put a regular AC unit inside. The hot air blows out the back, so you will get nowhere.
Fans are cheaper yet.
Knock out some bricks and put it through the wall.
Cut an opening in a wall for the AC, put it up pretty high so it heats the warmest air...
They make portable floor-standing AC units with an exhaust hose that you can snake out a door.
If you live in a state where the humidity isn't that high the a swamp cooler will work just fine,you can get one at home depot it is called shop cool. or get a stand up a/c unit or get a window unit and you will have to cut into the wall and install it that way.
Cut a hole in the out side of wall same size as AC unit cut the studs on inside wall big enough to use 2X4s to make a frame for the AC unit.
