Ordinary, heaters pile the heat up on the ceiling
until some of it finally steps down to the living,
level. If you own an ordinary heater, you know
how costly and uncomfortable that system is! Siegler
does just .the opposite ... your floor gets heated
first. Heat is not wasted on the ceiling and out the
