    Warm air circulation
    Our home is heated by a hot water boiler. The heating pipes are at the floor at baseboard level. They're covered by floor-length drapes. To better heat the rooms, should we raise the drapes to let the heat escape, or are the warmed bottom of the drapes better for general room heating?

    The less obstructions the baseboards have the better they will heat.
