I have a new house, this is my first winter.
The kitchen and family room are a great room concept with vaulted ceilings. There is a ceiling fan, on the edge of the family room part. There is a gas fireplace with fan There are two air ducts close to the outer wall.
I could live with the fireplace going with the fan, BUT, the deflector for it is at the top of the fireplace unit, and it deflects the air down. I'm thinking if it came straight out, I'd get better heat towards me in the chair.? Is there such an item I can get?
Going to get some deflectors tomorrow for the two ceiling vents. The vents push it lengthwise along the outer wall, not towards where I'm sitting or toward the kitchen.
The house can get quite toasty in the bedrooms. Already closed the vents the bathrooms and unused dining room. Its gas forced air. I came from a smaller house with no vault, using heatpump.
