Because heat rises.
It is generally better to place an air conditioning vent near the ceiling. Since cool air is denser, it tends to sink, allowing it to distribute more evenly throughout the room when released from a higher position. Placing vents near the ceiling can help promote better airflow and maintain a more consistent temperature, enhancing overall comfort. However, the specific design may vary based on room layout and heating needs.
it will heat as long as the gas is on and your pilot is still lit, you would have to call your gas company to turn it off.
Have plumber check it out. May just need dried out, cleaned and serviced. Depending on age and condition of water heater, it may not be worth having all this work done to it. It would be better to replace instead.
It is a water heater, not a hot water heater. There would be little point in using a hot water heater. I assume that is your point.
yes, but it will slide over the years so I would not
They are placed on the floor because heat rises. If the heater was up high, the ceiling would be nice and warm, while the walls and floor would be cold.They are placed on the floor because heat rises.

A ceiling fan heater is a type of heater which works in the same way as a standard ceiling fan, but with a heating component. A person may want to use this type of heater if the room does not have access to central heat or any other heat source. An individual may also want to use this type of heater if there is not enough floor space for a standard room heater.
A room heater is typically placed near the floor because heat rises, allowing it to warm the air in the room more effectively and evenly. Placing the heater near the ceiling would result in the heat accumulating near the top of the room, making it less efficient in heating the entire space.
An example of a ceiling would be rent controlled apartments. A floor would be minimum wage.
The ceiling fan is able to fan a wider area in a more general sense. The floor model would be concentrated to a particular area. The ceiling fan would be able to increase the air flow through the room better.
It would not be sensible to fix the heater high up on the wall close to the ceiling because heat rises, so the warm air created by the heater would gather at the top, making it less efficient in heating the room. Placing the heater higher up also makes it harder to access for maintenance or adjustments. Positioning the heater at a lower level would ensure better heat distribution and easier operation.
An antonym for floor would be ceiling. You could also say roof or sky.
You would either have to remove the ceiling in the kitchen or the floor in the bath, and add additional joists to strengthen them, or possibly add steel in combination with the joists.
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 would you need to? The wall is holding the ceiling up. A better description of what you want to do would help.
There are heater doors on the heat blower box that direct the path of the heat. Apparently the heater door to the floor vents is stuck closed.
The opposite would be stalactites, which form from the ceiling down, while stalagmites form from the floor up. (The venerable mnemonic is that stalactites hold tite/tight to the ceiling.)
