[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1474845, member: 24816"] Our house is a converted 2 story garage/shop. It is a gambrel roof style, and due to space we had the furnace inside part put up in the attic space which is even with the 2nd story, the ductwork is run between the floors, thus coming from the ceiling downstairs. The building was originally built 9 feet on the main floor and 7 upstairs, it seems to stay a lot cooler downstairs and almost hot upstairs. We are currently using an electric heat pump, and have a propane heater on the wall with just a small tank in case the heat goes out. Have been wondering if it would accomplish anything to have a bigger tank and use the propane heater to supplement the electric, and maybe be able to keep it on a lower setting? Have noticed that when we have the propane heater on it is much warmer. It seems like the heat from the ceiling ducts coming from the higher ceilings doesn't keep it very warm, and then factor in it's on a concrete slab with tile and laminated flooring downstairs.
