Why Should The Heater Be In The Ceiling?

The Bottom Line It's useless and a waste of money.

Ok, I have a major problem with this category. What should you, the consumer, know about ceiling heaters? Well, I have an answer for you, and it may not be pretty, but this must be put out for all to hear.
The truth as I see it (and that's the only way that really matters)is that ceiling heaters are a big waste of time and money. In fact, I believe that they are part of an intricate plan by the heating companies to cheat the innocent client out of money. Now, while I'm not the smartest person in the world, I paid attention during my high school chemistry and physics classes, and as a result I have learned an important fact.
The important fact:
Air is a gas. The concept of a heater is to expel heated air into a room. However, the laws of energy and motion, specifically applied to gases, state that heated air will rise to the top of a room. Therefore, a ceiling heater will be rendered useless as the heated air remains on the ceiling instead of circulating throughout the room as is required for maximum effectiveness. Due to this, the heat will be ineffective, and you will inevitably use the heater more often than you would be required to. This will obviously drive up the monthly bill you and I pay.
As proof to this obvious misuse of power, I obtained the written statements of several physics professors at local colleges. While none of them permitted me to use their names, disclose their place of employment, or repeat anything that they may have said, let me tell you that the general consensus was in my favor.
I also talked to Al, owner of Al's Heating, regarding this matter. While the veracity of his claim is in question due to the quantity of 100+ proof alcohol he had obviously consumed on his lunch hour. He seemed to slur together one useful answer, which is displayed below:
"Yeeeeaahhhhthatthaaaaaaaarseeeeelingheeeeeeeterssascammmmmmm"
Translated into normal English:
"Yeah, that ceiling heater's a scam."
So there you have it...the scam is revealed. That was what you should really know about ceiling heaters.
