Why Are Heaters Placed Near The Floor & Air Conditioners Near The Ceiling?

The reason behind this is that hot air rises while cold air sinks. Cold air sinks because it is denser. The work of an AC is to cool warm air. Warm air moves up and is cooled by an AC which is placed at a height. The cool air is dense and it will lower down into the room from where it will occupy space and will push the warm air up. This warm air will now rise, get cooled, and come down. This process will continue till the AC is ON and will cool the room.

However, heaters are placed near the floor since we know that cold air settles more at the bottom. A heater will heat up the cold air below, make it rise up, and hence, make the room warmer. The cool air that takes place near the floor will get heated and will rise. These convectional currents help to keep the room warm.
