The most efficient tool you can use to cut an opening in a brick wall is an angle grinder. Prepare a dust mask, safety glasses, and earplugs so you're not affected by the dust and noise pollution. Once you start cutting into the wall, lots of brick dust will be kicked up so you will need to be prepared to protect yourself. Start cutting the vertical lines first, and move on from there. One good tip is not to push too hard on the angle grinder and just let the machine do its work. This way you will get a cleaner cut. Remove bricks

After you've cut along the lines you marked out for the hole to be, you will need to loosen the mortar between the bricks. To do this, use a hammer drill and masonry bit to drill holes in the mortar between the bricks you want to remove. This is quite easy to do as mortar is much softer than brick.
