Wood Floor Registers

My house has all the registers in the ceiling and I just cannot seem to be comfortable. I just bought the house last fall and I do not really want to sell. My floors are freezing, almost all hardwood floors. I have a partial basement and I want a big space heater there, in hopes of heating on the ground a bit as I have it in my installation floors. I have a daughter who is 9 months behind and shes still a baby ice. I keep her in a body, after body, then pants and shirts with long sleeves and slippers, but it is still cold. I need to keep sweaters, sweatpants, socks and slippers and still reach for the covers. My temp is always set at 73, but in any case it does feel hot. My parents' house is 70 with floor vents and so much more comfortable. Is what I can do? My heating bills are $ 500 per month and I can not afford ... Does anyone else have problems with ceiling dampers, because I'm almost ready to sell the house and return to the apartment. The house is only 1100 square feet, the story of half. Built in 1870, but 2 years ago has been renovated from the studs to the roof.

You need to install a ceiling fan to move warm air toward the ground. Or the fan on your furnace checked to ensure that enough volume of air buoyancy.

Warm air rises, so when the records are in the ceiling, something must push the hot air all the way on the ground and continue to do so.

It may be tempting to simply move the thermostat closer to the ground, but with heating bills already higher than desired, this will just make them higher.

You can get ceiling fans at home cheap products in a store. Do not buy those costing hundreds of dollars, the cheapest will do the job properly. If you can not install it yourself and cost is a concern, you can find a fan near the ceiling and objective so that it moves from air to the soil will help the situation.

I just recently moved into an apartment with ceiling vents. I also hate. but I found that if I boil water on the stove it adds moisture to the air (a humidifier would do the same thing) and seems to help it feel warmer without turning the heat. do not know if it works in a house. Hope this helps

I begin by taking temperature measurements ... start at ground level, then one or two feet above the ground and all the way to the ceiling ... if there is a big difference and a ceiling fan can work to move the air down, if there is not much difference when I look re insulating because it is not enough in your house. I know you said it was made 2 years ago, but do you know exactly what and how much insulation was put in? This heat is going somewhere and your heating bill is very large for the size of home .. does not sell, winter ends and you can solve the problem and keep you beautiful house.
