A small 3" diameter fan such as a computer fan is often sufficient to warm an entire room through forced air circulation. Leave the doors open or at least have a 1" gap under each interior door for cold air return.
This should work well if it is upstairs rooms and the fan is blowing towards an open stairwell. Let us know what works, Quinny. Also, how are you at making holes in walls? :vtsnowedin wrote:Small fans at the top of doors do work pretty well but I don't like the buzz and being tall have to be careful not to bump them. Instead I use two foot floor fans set on low sucking the cold air out of the room I want warmer. The stove heated air at the ceiling comes through the top of the open doorway to replace what the fan removes.
Gravity is your friend, learn to work with it not against it.

What i mean is that for example some are made as a big plate that radiates the heat which can make the place feel warmer than it actually is.
According to some people electrical floor heating is the least efficient - I am not sure about that. But i can see that the rules concerning floor heating requires 25% extra insulation in the floor here in Denmark.
