High ceilings make the room feel large and open which can be a lovely atmosphere. They are elegant, luxurious and spacious – adding a sense of glamour and marvel to your home. However, they can also be hard to heat because of the hot air rising, it can be hard to keep the air where you want it and prevent it from being wasted.
One option that works a treat is to choose one of the specific heaters that can be installed to effectively heat up your rooms with high ceilings.
Heating a room with high ceilings
A key thing when considering your options for heating a room with high ceilings is to look at how heat loss occurs. That will help determine if space heaters, electric heaters or panel heaters will be required. The key is to identify energy efficient options as heat rises in a large room.
There’s no point generating a lot of warm air in your living room and then losing it to gaps underneath your doors or single pane windows. So tackling areas of heat loss will go a long way to helping you reduce how much you rely on your central heating system.
So while considering the appropriate heater for your room you should also take the following steps to retain the heat generated;
- Invest in double glazing or better yet triple glazing
- Use thermal curtains over large windows
- Replace any hollow doors in your home.
- Insulate your walls and ceilings
- Block the draughts
