<h2 id="what-is-the-ideal-height-for-mounting-indoor-units-"><u>What is the ideal height for mounting indoor units? </u></h2><p>The ideal height for mounting indoor units is preferably 7-8 feet (2.1-2.4 m) from the floor and at least 4-6 inches (102-152 mm) below the ceiling. This is the ideal height for mounting indoor units because it prevents the air coming out of the bottom-front of the unit from being obstructed.&#xA0;</p>
