With all the old homes most of the radiator heater is under the window. This help the home lose heat faster since it just go out the Windows
Most of the new homes are electric heat
And most are central air and heat but the old
Homes are allway cold. And use oil for heat
But i think having thr heater yndet the window is a mistake.

The theory is that the moving air (from the window) will be warmed as it enters.
Like you, I'd like to see it elsewhere.

I just learn it had to do something with moisture
To keep the home warm with the
Old style windows

I have never thought about this before but you could be right. I suppose it is coldest near the windows so it warms up the colder air first and then warms the rest of the room, perhaps. When it is really cold we stick an electric radiator in the middle of the room and it really makes a difference.

What I found out most of the heat goes out the window
that why the old homes do not warm up
I suppose you could put plastic or bubble wrap over the windows to help insulate them, but that only does so much good.@eagletrek2 (5499)
