Cassette AC and Central AC are mounted on the ceiling, whereas portable AC is movable, so chilling effects of these ACs are not that much depend on their location.
Here in this video we will discuss about best location for split ac and window ac.
------Let us now see the factors that affect the chilling effect of the AC.
~Capacity of AC: The chilling effect of AC mostly depends on its Capacity. The window ac is available in the range of 0.75 to 2.5 ton &the Split AC is available in the range of 0.8 to 3 ton.
~Height of AC: According to the anthropometry of the human body, we experience the air which is 3 ft to 5 ft from ground. Therefore, we place the ac to achieve the cooling at this height.
Split Ac:
The indoor ac unit of split ac projects out from the wall surface in a room. The cool air tends to settle down while hot air tends to go up. So, we place the ac at higher elevation to achieve this natural air cycle of air flow.
Thus it should be placed at specific height that is more than a human height to avoid any obstruction.
For any room height fix the ac at height 7 feet to 8 feet from the floor. Leave the minimum 4 inches from the slab to allow the return air penetrate into ac
Window AC:
The ac air diffuser of window ac is at the center of the unit.
Therefore, the ideal height to fix the window ac is 3 feet to 4 feet.
~Planning AC in your Space: We recommend you to place AC unit at the center of room to maintain symmetry of your room.
Exceptional Cases: Place AC unit according to the furniture layout of the room. We recommend planning home AC in the center of sitting arrangement.
~Relation with outdoor AC unit: Outdoor AC unit are sometimes generated vibrations and it may disturb you so place the outdoor ac unit in the exteriors connected with indoor AC unit through copper piping.
We recommend the distance between two units should not exceed 50 feet to achieve efficient cooling.

Will it be a problem if I place the AC in the side and not in the centre of the room...
We recommend you to place an AC unit in the centre of the room maintaining the symmetry of your room, which is technically also correct, as it diffuses uniformly distributed air. In some exceptional spaces, we recommend placing home AC units according to the window openings and furniture layout of the room. For example, for a layout having an asymmetrical sitting arrangement, we recommend planning a home AC unit in the centre of the sitting arrangement. Also, see that it does not throw cool flow directly to the person sitting next to it! For more details refer our article - gharpedia.com/blog/best-location-for-ac-unit-in-your-room/
Same question
my ac is on the east wall. i mean sunlight is on window AC.
any cooling issue?
Hi there, question, my 0.75 hp window AC is placed on the lower right side of my room which is a 12 sqm. room. Is it okay that my AC is placed there or do I need to place it somewhere else to improve the cooling? Because there is a small spot in my room where I sleep that I didn't feel that much cool. Thank you!
