I recently saw a return of the “chimney”, but now they’re large grated cubes with the aircon unit inside. Instead of hanging an ugly box off the side of the wall, they’re up on the roof and camouflaged a bit.

Where is this? Because where I live, whole-house AC units sit on the ground next to the home.

A lot of newer homes being built (at least in California) are putting them in the attic or on the roof.

I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn’t be an issue.)
Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.

Looks and maybe energy efficiency (if done correctly) would be the biggest reasons I can think of.
