Heating Vents are positioned lower because (high school science) and also that warmer air is thinner and it tends to move upwards.

Now when you switch on your ill-maintained heating duct, infested with fungus, moulds, dust and other allergens when the weather is already weakening your health, you just are bringing home more trouble. This could be more troublesome if you have infants home.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon Monoxide poisoning has become a menace now and it is more prevalent than we reckon. The main catalyst to CO poisoning is lack of good air circulation and ill-maintained gas appliances. I’ll maintained air ducts can cause such gases to get trapped indoors.

Some Air duct cleaning studies have shown that on average an American’s interior air can often be from two to five times more polluted than external air. When ducted heating systems, vents, and furnaces get contaminated with fungus, mold, construction debris, bacteria or insulation fibers, air quality inside becomes compromised. That leads to a higher risk of breathing problems as well as other probable fatal circumstances.
