This is So Calif coastal. We hardly ever heat, but in the
middle of "winter" it's cooooold in the morning in the front rooms
where the sun doesn't come in at first.

I can't afford to use more than 2 small electrical heaters
(one in bedroom, one in kitchen) or things will blow.

Question: Wall gas heater spends hours heating the ceiling before
something seeps down into the large open space living room/dining
room.

Is there any point in buying some kind of diverter to focus the heat
DOWN instead of up to the ceiling?

If so, any recommendations?

Tx

I think that's why they make ceiling fans. (Assuming you have enough
headroom for one, that is.)

idea?

Not if your information is bogus, no.
