I have the unit mounted on the wall but the floor is cool...is there a way without putting the heater on the floor to redirect the air flow down

Not that I know of. I think a ceiling fan blowing the warm air towards the floor would just create a draft. Sorry

I use a ceiling fan to mix the air. I have 10' ceiling with the fan set at 8' and pull the air up so there is little noticable draft. For my house this produces even tempurature throughout.

No. I so not think you can. Some of the mechanics are but into the actual unit. I can tell you that it works great and kicks out a lot of heat. I have a 800 sq foot living room, it heats every inch of it.

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away. If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

The manufacturer recommends that you don't, I think either for safety reasons having to do with the heat of the exhaust tube, or for performance reasons, or both. I had to change the installation location of my unit for this reason. However I can say that this is a great AC and I'm very happy with it all around. Performs very well, not too loud, blows very cold air, keeps my 450 sq ft studio in Brooklyn cool throughout summer. Tips: 1) use fans to help circulate the cool air around your space, particularly to push it into adjacent rooms that don't have their own AC; 2) switch ceiling fan(s) to the reverse (blowing up rather than down) position, so as to push the cool air up and flush out the hot air at the top of the room; and 3) don't turn the unit off when you're out, just turn the temperature up - it's more efficient than letting the space heat up and then having to cool it down completely each day.

This item probably gets too hot to the touch to be mounted in such a way. The idea of these things is that it gradually heats the entire room it is in over time (it must be on for a few hours before it becomes effective). So in theory it wouldn't matter where in the room you mounted it the heat would be even everywhere. But supposedly it isn't ideal to mount them in "drafty" parts of the room such as on exterior walls or below windows because the cold drafty air doesn't allow the unit time to heat up the air around it before it gets blown away by the draft.

The unit is vented to the outside, any AC unit generates heat as it cools- it would not be efficient otherwise to vent the unit in the room it is cooling.

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

It is kind of an odd air circulator. It draws air in through the front and out the top. I got mine because my wood stove has made my house dusty but it also draws the cooler air from the floor and circulates the warm air up near the ceiling. I imagine you could lay it on its back to direct the air flow. It is also designed to be hung on the wall upside-down which is great for filtering the air in smoky rooms.

the outside unit does not get hot so you can put it up against the wall if you wish

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

The owner's manual shows heater can be wall mounted or put directly on the floor, though it also states heater is designed to be mounted on the wall. Mine is wall mounted and I don't recall feet being included, plus the gas line comes out of the bottom so I don't know how the on-floor would work. Perhaps you could download a copy of the manual to get a better idea. Great little heater.

It sounds like you need to adjust the regulator. There should be a black knob on the regulator that you can pull out then turn to increase or decrease the air flow.

You should only use it for the season the unit is not in use. Remove it befor you turn the unit on for the season so you do not restrict air flow.

This heater needs to be mounted on the wall. The fuel inlet is on the bottom and the piping will take up some room.

I have mine mounted to the wall and it seems to be running cooler than most routers I've used in the past. I used an extra nail towards the middle/bottom to offset it from the wall by about an inch. It allows airflow to reach the back vents instead of accumulating heat against the wall.

I have my little heater since 2011. I have it slightly elevated off the floor. Bought one of those decorative pedestals from Ballard Designs. No problem elevated. As long as the entire unit is sitting on a flat surface.
