    …… And what about heating the water?

    Yes, well ……

    Back to air. I have up to 3m ceilings. When I stand on a ladder to sample, the air below the ceiling is warmer and dryer than the air at people level. Of course. 

    That surely suggests that some sort of fan will help distribute heated air more uniformly. Why isn't it done? 

    One answer for me is that warm ceiling air leads to warm interfloor space which is in effect underfloor heating for the next level. That works well for my sleeping quarters up top, which I don't specifically heat, even in the -18° overnight temperatures we had for a while in February 2021.
