getmealemon Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hi all, I'm looking to heat the basement space of my Victorian sandstone house. It's unfinished other than some crap tanking that's flaking off. There's 3 rooms, good ceiling height and two windows. Anyway I was wondering if anybody had used an air to air heat pump as basement heating or could offer any views on whether it would be a sensible option? I was thinking about one possibly along with a heat recovery extractor at the other side of the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Perhaps look at using the same heating system as in the rest of the house, unless you want to separate it off. Get the whole basement dry and insulated. For ventilation you could just have trickle vents in the windows or a background fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Do you want responsive occasional heating, or 'always on' heating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getmealemon Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 I would say always on but to maintain 16-17c. Currently the space is unused as its a bit cold and feels damp but ideally we would like to put a cinema area and playroom down there. Just trying to figure out the cheapest/easiest way to heat it. Air to Air units seem very popular in the states but not so much here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
