Home Heating

[Bob]

We have Central Heating (Gas) and I have always hated heating the Bedrooms as when you go to Bed it only takes 30 seconds and you are warm.
I have blocked off the Register in our Bedroom.

Yes, that is exactly what I want to do but not what that last post is talking about.

He is talking about taking cold air from ground and putting it up high, etc.

I am very temptered to put two duct vents right infront of the Coonara and run it about 7-8 metres to the lower level master bedroom and babys room.

I've been ordered to get nice looking antique style vents if I am cutting two holes right infront of the Coonara in the loungeroom..lol

It has to surely work...The floor boards infront of the heater are toasty hot, air is getting pulled from there down 7m to another room...Has to work!!!

That's similar to what I'm installing today sometime except I got all the bits separately as the cost is a lot cheaper and I scored a fair bit for free.
AB needs to run his under the house so he's got the dilemma of getting hot air from the ground level....bit tricky but might be possible

Extract from

http://www.universalfans.com.au/Heat...0Transfer.html

A typical system would be installed in the ceiling space and would consist of a vent above the heat source (such as a fire heater or similar), an in-line fan, ducting and a vent on the ceiling of the room the warm air is going to. Other possibilities include wall fans (for adjacent rooms) and running ducting under floor, false ceilings, walls, etc.

Well, the job is done. About 3 hrs and that's going to the hardware shop as well. The bloody house is bigger then I thought.
Now we wait for the results. Will let yous know later on today. Priorities first, of to the bottlo for some rum!!!
