The real problem with thermostat controlled heating systems is that the thermostat is midway between ceiling and floor. There is always warmer air above, and colder air below. The newly redesigned HEATSTICK tm Thermal Fan (@heatstick.com) combats this by constantly pumping the warmest air off the ceiling back down to the floor. It basically allows you to "re-use" the warm air over your head several times, and keeps the furnance from coming on for a much longer period of time.
