Adding heat to your basement is a practical way to expand your family’s functional living space without adding to your home. At Precision Heating & Air, we offer several ways to provide the warmth and comfort you need in your finished basement.

Our options come with the same convenience and energy efficiency that you enjoy in your current above-ground living spaces. Continue reading to learn more about a few of the best heating options for a finished basement.

Extending Your Existing Equipment

Your Precision Heating & Air expert will be able to determine whether or not your existing system has the capacity to heat the basement. Its ability to do so will depend on the level of insulation in the exterior basement walls and the type of flooring. Carpeting insulates better than hard surface flooring. Insulated windows also prevent heat transfer.

Regardless of whether your current HVAC system has the right capacity, we’ll have to run ductwork through the ceiling to deliver the warm air. However, we’ll walk you through the entire process and thoroughly explain your options.

Installing a New HVAC System

If your equipment is over 15 years old and you’ve been experiencing frequent breakdowns or uncomfortable temperatures, it may be time to install a new HVAC system. As heating and cooling systems age, they tend to lose energy efficiency and may not heat as effectively. They also experience more frequent breakdowns and sometimes replacing parts isn’t cost-effective. Your Precision Heating & Air expert can give you an idea of the overall condition of your equipment and walk you through the cost and benefits of replacing it with new, more efficient equipment.

You may want to consider a heating zoning system if you don’t plan to use the basement frequently. Heating zone systems allow you to close the area off when you’re not using it to save money on heating and cooling bills without harming your furnace and air conditioner. Shutting off parts of a home by closing supply and return registers when a room isn’t being used harms the mechanical equipment and the ductwork. A zoning system prevents such damage.

Installing a Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump for Your Finished Basement

Ductless mini split heat pumps provide energy-efficient heating and cooling without requiring ductwork, and they’re ideal for spaces in basements or home additions. They offer all the benefits of heat pumps and are relatively easy to install and maintain. A ductless heat pump is far more efficient than using electric baseboard heating for small spaces.
