Why is a room heater placed near the floor of a room and not near its ceiling?
if it is placed near the ceiling the hot it release will go upwards and people in floor will not feel the hotness and it is because hot air is lesser in weight and it Will fly in the top.
Should heating vents be placed near the floor or near the ceiling of the room?
Heating vents should be placed near or on the floor in a room because heat travels up not down.
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 is it best to place a room heater on the floor but air conditioner near the ceiling?
Because according to physics heat goes upward from downward and cool air goes upward to downward so it is best to place heater on the floor but air conditioner near the ceiling
In order to heat a room evenly should heating vents be palced near the floor or near the cieling of the room?
Heat rises. So, in areas with long winters, the vents typically are in the floor. But it depends on the construction of the house, where the heating unit is installed and what type it is, etc. So, no easy answer. Ceiling fans are helpful in keeping air circulating, moving warmer air from the top of the room downward which helps even out the temps from floor to ceiling.
