What are your best Options for Heating and Cooling of a finished basement ?

Brian Nagle  December 14, 2016 10:59 AM 


Frequently, homeowners want to install HVAC in their newly finished basements. Many underestimate what it takes to properly heat or cool a basement. If you have a boiler installed on the basement level, you can often install an additional zone of baseboard heating for the finished basement. This is dependent on the size of the space as well as the feasibility of running piping. What if you heat with a warm air furnace? And what about air conditioning? 
Warm Air Furnaces. if you are conditioning a small bedroom you may be able to run a small duct into the bedroom. In many cases the basement is the footprint of the floor above, and requires too much capacity to be be able to borrow from the existing system design without impacting the existing installation.
Consider ductless as a solution to solve the dilemma. The top tier manufacturers make attractive units, including floor mounts, slim ducts, and cassettes, as well as traditional and designer series wall mounted units. The new systems provide heat down to -13F and can heat and cool a space from startup in less than 10 minutes. Typical 12000 BTU units (1 ton) can service up to 500 sq ft of basement space with 8 ft ceilings. These new systems will process copious amounts of humidity as well. These units are available in sizes starting as small as 6000 BTU's. For a no cost quote on Long Island, contact Brian Nagle at True Mechanical.
