Basement Heating Solutions That Actually Work

In addition to being a reliable source of heat, fireplaces can also improve your basement in terms of aesthetics. Fireplaces are fairly easy to install. Your options include a traditional masonry fireplace, which is ideal if your basement is fairly spacious. There are also prefabricated fireplaces that are easier and less costly to install. You can even choose an infrared fireplace that can provide heat that feels just like the real thing.

You don’t need a  new heating system installation  to provide adequate heat foer your basement. If your home’s heating system utilizes ductwork, you can take advantage of this feature by extending the existing ductwork down to your basement. It’s important to note that you should only rely on a professional HVAC contractor for this, since the job requires heat load calculation and ductwork configuration. It goes without saying that this won’t apply if your home utilizes  ductless heating methods.

This option works well if you don’t mind the unwieldy look of baseboard heaters, which are prominent-looking metal units that run the length of your wall’s baseboards. Electric baseboard heaters provide heat in specific areas, and can be controlled using their own thermostats. They can even be completely powered on or shut off as necessary.
