In order to heat a room evenly should heating vents be placed near the floor or near the ceiling of the room?
It would be better to place the heating vent near the floor because the heat will travel up and down, so that way the room would be heated evenly. If you place it near the ceiling, the heat would not heat the floor that well, since the heating vent sucks back in the heat
Why it is more effective for heaters to be place close to the floor and coolers to be place closer to the ceiling?
hot air raises, cool air will drop. This helps set up convection currents to disperse the heat/cool throughout the room.

Are electric floor heaters safe for my home?
As long as you buy a floor heater that was made recently, you should be okay. If you were to buy an old used floor heater, I would be cautious. Whenever you use a floor heater however, you need to put it in a safe place and never leave it on if you go out of the house.
Why are air conditioners place high on the wall and not on the ground?
Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled. Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).

Why are air conditioners placed near the ceiling of the room?
Because of one simple science fact : “Cold air is heavier than warm air” When an air conditioner is at a certain height, it cools the air surrounding it, this cool air being heavier moves towards the floor of the room, meanwhile displacing the warm air already at the floor to the top. This warm air again gets cooled because of the air conditioner and the process repeats. This causes a uniform cooling of the room. Suppose if the air conditioner is at the bottom of the room, it cools the air surrounding it and this air stays at the bottom. The warm air towards the ceiling continues to stay warm for a very long time hence the cooling is not effective. It is for the same reason the freezer is at the top in a refrigerator.
Is it cheaper to have the builder finish the basement?
It is generally less expensive to have everything done as the house is being built. Items involving plumbing, electricity, heating, and cooling, are far less expensive to install when the basement is being built. The equipment only needs to come there once. There is no expense in tearing up the floor, tearing out a wall, tearing out a ceiling, replacing the torn place in the floor, replacing the torn place in the wall, and replacing the torn up place in the basement ceiling and in the floor of the room above. Depending on what will be needed, all will be avoided.

Should ac vents be placed in the ceiling or floor?
Either way will work ok as long as the system is designed that way from the beginning. The best place for the air conditioning registers (vents) will depend on who designs the system and the construction of your home. In some homes it is not practical to install the registers in the floor that have a concrete foundation. If you have a very low or flat roof it may not be practical to install them in the ceiling. Houses that are cooling most of the year have the registers in the ceiling and home that heat most of the year tend to have the registers in the floor.
