How could I adjust the size and placement of chapter heading in my custom class? I am using report class as my base. When I used titlesec package inside my custom class, it threw error
! Package titlesec Error: Not allowed in `easy'
settings.

The error message indicates that you were trying to use the "easy setup" with titleformat* in a wrong way. For substantial formatting modifications, use the non-starred variant titleformat and for changing the spacing, use titlespacing*. Below are the default settings, which you can change according to your needs:
usepackage{titlesec}
titleformat{chapter}[display]
{normalfonthugebfseries}{chaptertitlename thechapter}{20pt}{Huge}
titlespacing*{chapter}
{0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
For example, to center the title, reduce the space before from 50pt to 30pt and the space after from 40pt to 20pt, you can do:
documentclass{report}
usepackage{titlesec}
usepackage{lipsum}
titleformat{chapter}[display]
{normalfonthugebfseriesfilcenter}{chaptertitlename thechapter}{20pt}{Huge}
titlespacing*{chapter}
{0pt}{30pt}{20pt}
begin{document}
chapter{Test Chapter}
lipsum[4]
end{document}

@GonzaloMedina Is the first snippet really the default? If I have a chapter followed by a section, I get different vertical spacing with and without that snippet.

@LaRiFaRi That's what thetitlesecdocumentation says (page 23). However, you are right. Even with regular text after the title, there's a slight difference in vertical spacing between the default settings and whattitlesecstates is the configuration thet replicates the standard settings.

The regular (numbered) chapter header in report is set by @makechapterhead:
def@makechapterhead#1{%
vspace*{50p@}%
{parindent z@ raggedright normalfont
ifnum c@secnumdepth >m@ne
hugebfseries @chapappspace thechapter
parnobreak
vskip 20p@
fi
interlinepenalty@M
Huge bfseries #1parnobreak
vskip 40p@
}}
You see a 50p@ (or 50pt) vertical gap before setting @chapappspace thechapter in hugebfseries; then another 20p@ gap and the title in Hugebfseries, and yet another 40p@. Starred chapters are set using @makeschapterhead:
def@makeschapterhead#1{%
vspace*{50p@}%
{parindent z@ raggedright
normalfont
interlinepenalty@M
Huge bfseries #1parnobreak
vskip 40p@
}}
You can change these values to your liking.
