Buying Electric Fireplaces

How To Maintain Heat With Vaulted Ceilings?

My entire downstairs of my house is open and has vaulted ceilings. It always seems cold in here unless I really get my wood fireplace blazin. I have got the fan adjusted to blow air down, and the vents for the heat are way up on the cealings. Their is a large double window in the living room, one window in the kitchen, and a sliding glass door off the back of the house. I have to find ways to keep heat in this big area, my electric bills in the winter are out of control! Thanks for your help! Oh…also the front door to the house opens to the entire area, so that creates a loss of heat everytime it is open. But even through the night, in the mornings the entire area feels cold despite the thermostat set at 70. Thanks!

    Put your fan on a higher setting and try putting diverters on the heat vents to force the air down. Vaulted ceilings are nice to look at but can cause nightmares for your energy bills.
