But my problem is that there are no outlets up there. How would i go about hookin this up without usin a extension cord hooked up too a socket outside of the atic?

Suggestion: A licensed electrical contractor is qualified to install necessary circuits for your attic loads. Normally, one circuit rated at 15A could suffice for your projected loads. However, if you intend to have an airconditioner or heater, then a separate or dedicated circuit may be needed depending on the heater or airconditioner size. It is a good idea to estimate your future load accurately to reduce the cost of this electrical installation addition. Also, you may prefer to select the electrical contractor specialized in residential installations/wiring.
