The installation heights for these units are typically between 8 and 9 feet above the floor. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room and keep the heaters out of reach of those who are below. The amount of heat they create is measured in British thermal units (Btu) and higher numbers producing more Btu.
Ceiling-mounted fixtures in addition to being safer and more convenient, are usually easier to clean and maintain as opposed to fixtures which are suspended from walls or other surfaces. They don't have to be put away when not in use. This is perfect for spaces that are small.
