    Improve heat circulation
    I have a home with a ceiling approximately 17 foot ceiling. The house is heated from the top or attic. At approximately 8pm even though the thermostat indicates 70 degree, the house feels like 60. Is there anyway that I can improve the heat circulation so that the entire house is 70 degrees ?

    Add a low return air and or run your blower all the time. If your supply grills and return air is mounted high the warm air will take for ever to reach you. Remember your thermostat set around 5 ft off the floor so if your setting in a chair you are a few degrees cooler at that level.
