an electrician can move it. you might consider lowering it, which would probably be the cheapest. find some art that you like that it could be below? remember, art is hung with its mid-point at 60".

someone needs to add "esthetics" to the electrian-school courses. they do put things in the easiest place for them, and homeowner be damned.

This thermostat makes my skin crawl! Of course the builder had it put in before our seeing it done! Every idea I have is interrupted by this stupid thing! So so unfortunate. I think having it moved would be a solution. Sadly.

Well they're response was just that...The location under the vent would help give a more accurate reading of the temperature of the home.

I would think the opposite. The rest of the home won't be the same temperature as below a vent. There really is no space to add an open shelved hutch for example, so I would be tempted to move it.
