How do you heat and cool the basement?
Reviewing the current HVAC system to see if it can handle the added square footage of the basement is key. Adding ductwork off of existing supply runs can greatly diminish the efficiency of the first and second floors. This has to be done with careful review from our HVAC partner, and in some instances, a secondary HVAC unit is required. Mini-splits are another option, as well as supplementing heat through electric or gas fireplaces.
