It took me forever to find a nice solution for my freezing basement.
- I purchased my lake house because the basement was completely finished plus I thought that I’d spend a lot of time down there.
I had dreams of seeing films, building a lake house gym, plus creating a guest room, however before I moved in, I saw myself using the basement more than any other room! Unfortunately, since the basement is underground, it’s a lot colder than any other room in the house. There are only a few weeks during the entire year that I can utilize the basement space comfortably. I found myself rarely going into the basement plus it really bummed me out. This is when I tried to find a solution for the temperature problem. I hired an Heating plus Air Conditioning professional to come assess my basement plus my Heating plus Air Conditioning system plus he provided me multiple options to choose from. The first option was more luxurious, which really turned me off. He recommended that since the basement was already connected to the air duct, I could add the basement as a minute zone plus install it’s own control unit. Other than being too luxurious, this option also meant that I’d have to remember to program the control unit plus supply it enough time to sizzling up the space before I was ready to use it. The minute option was a ductless mini cut system. It could connect to the electricity plus be turned on plus off depending if I wanted to use the space. The ductless mini cut system was cheaper plus quicker to heat plus cool the space, without affecting my central Heating plus Air Conditioning system, so I chose that option!
