Running ac is an unnecessary added expense. Use exhaust fans and vent it out of the house. Do add dedicated circuit and wires for mining.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I'm in Thailand here, we are in the rainy season at the moment, so ambient temps are around 29 Celcius with high humidity, my chip temps vary between 57 - 62, so far my hashing rate is stable. However in the afternoon when we get to 32 celcius I do turn the AC on. In the hot season, temps 34 - 35 celcius I suppose AC will be a must. They are placed that the hot air vents out of the window.
In a box wouldn't that make it hotter ??

I keep mine in a dedicated room in the basement during the summer time.  At first I was using a 800 CFM exhaust fan, but that created negative pressure in the hole house and I did not want to add an fresh air inlet since the hear and humidity in Virginia is pretty awful in the summer months.  So I installed a high efficiency 2 ton mini split, which does a great job keeping everything cool.  It will pull the room all the way down to 62 degrees if I want, but I set it at 75, and it doesn't have to work that hard.

Now that cold season is approaching, I'm scattering the miners around the house for free heat.  The biggest pain about that is installing 240V outlets everywhere since I'm using Delta 2400W PSUs for almost all my miners, and they only accept 240V.

Interesting.  I'm running a 10" can fan q max that pulls 900-1023 cfm.  A way to combat the negative pressure is to use an oversized by 2x or more air filter.  After I did this I have just slight negative pressure in the room.  I sealed off my door with window sponge trim so any negative pressure is only isolated in the dedicated office miner room.

Do you still keep them at home, did you rent warehouses, did you put them in server racks and move them to data centers, or are you using any other solution? What is the most beneficial way and cheapest electricity long term these days?

I keep it at home in the special room where I work, the room has been designed to build a mine.

For the power supply, I use solar panels combined with my own assembled electrical converter, so that the power generated can be maximized.

Luckily I have some spare rooms in my home at the moment so I have them here, noise level has been ok, electricity rate is not too cheap though, works out at 0.145 in USD/KW/h
