    Re: First post, please be nice, prob with heat mode

    I assume being a Victorian house that you therefore have quite high ceilings.

    If this is the case then there might be a valid argument for installed a ceiling fan the destratify the air.

    If the fan is used to draw the air upwards then the warm air is circulated without draughts.

    Yes we have the high ceilings and we also have a ceiling fan in the said rooms, the bedroom unit seems to reach temperature better but this is mounted about another foot higher from the floor than the lounge one (problem one)

    The bedroom one is fine even without the ceiling fan on.

    If the lounge one is operated with the ceiling fan in reverse then we end up with an even worse a situation as the air is sucked upwards and thrown down the sides of the walls thus cooling it at the same time.
