How to heat your finished basement

Basement Heating System

It’s common to move into a home with an unfinished basement with hopes of finishing it later. When the time comes, one of the most important points to consider is how you’re going to heat and cool your newly finished space. Being comfortable is essential to enjoying your finished basement and using it year-round. Installing the correct HVAC system for your basement also adds value to your home. We are here for all your basement heating system needs.

You probably have several questions, so here are a few items to consider first:

Designing a floor plan for your current and new HVAC system

Most unfinished basements are home to your furnaces, air handlers and other HVAC equipment. Developing a floor plan for your new basement? Be sure to take into consideration where your current HVAC system lives. Be sure to consider aesthetics and functionality when enclosing your appliances. The most common option is to design a utility room to house the HVAC system. Be sure to take note of the gas code requirements. This is important when creating a space for your HVAC equipment and any gas appliances. Find an HVAC contractor who can help you with local building codes and requirements.

Adding to current system vs. needing a new one

We strongly recommend bringing in an HVAC professional to help you determine the best course for you. In some cases, the current HVAC system is capable of heating and cooling the newly finished space. If not, your options are to either upgrade your current system or add on an additional system to heat and cool the basement separately.

If you choose the path of adding an additional unit to your current system, you still have a few options. One is ductless heating technology, also known as a ductless mini-split system, which works independently of your main HVAC system, don’t require ductwork to be run and can be designed specifically for your newly finished basement. A ductless system can be designed to provide either air conditioning only or air conditioning and heating both. Choosing to upgrade your current system will likely require you to run ductwork to your basement living areas, adding additional costs. It’s important to work with your HVAC professional to get accurate quotes ahead of time and understand exactly what must be done in order.

Choosing the appropriate system and size for heating and cooling

This comes down to personal preference and options to match your needs. As we mentioned, mini split ductless heating options are popular, and we also recommend consulting with an HVAC professional before making your final decision. A contractor will be able to help you determine the right size unit you need to heat the space. They will perform an industry calculation to determine the specific BTUs necessary for your space. Remember every house is different.

Being mindful of indoor air quality

Basements get a bad reputation for having moisture problems. It’s important to protect the health of your family by being mindful of indoor air quality in your newly finished basement. Work with your HVAC contractor to determine the best option for installing a dehumidifier, exhaust fans, proper drainage and waterproofing equipment. These will work to keep your air clean and keep moisture out while preventing the growth of mold and mildew.

HVAC Canton, GA

Finishing your basement can completely change the feel of your home while adding a new space for your family to enjoy. Ensure your family is the most comfortable in your newly finished basement by installing the correct heating and cooling systems, so you can enjoy the space year-round. Questions or ready to take the next step? Don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re happy to help!

Custom Klimates did a fantastic job installing our Heating and Air Conditioning Systems. We had three Bryant Evolution Systems installed in our home. Jason, Drew, Kevin, and Raul were extremely professional, and efficient. They installed our basement system one day and then came back to install the two upstairs units on another day. From start to finish the whole process was easy. Jason came out initially to give us a quote and spent over 2 hours measuring, taking pictures, and inspecting our current system. He then thoroughly explained what he was going to do, how long it would take, what I could expect during and after installation, and what financing options were available. He really took his time to make sure that I was comfortable in my decision to go with them. Installation was quick and expertly done, and the site was cleaned up prior to them leaving. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a system replacement or service.

We have used Custom Klimates for several years and this install was for 2 systems. They were on time each day they were working at the home. Each person working on the systems were very professional, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. It was a 4 day install. They made sure everything was completed correct the first time and did not rush it. We would use them again!!!

We needed a mini-split ductless system put in to provide HVAC to some space that was not in the original ducting plan for our house. Jason and his team worked well with us, listened to our desires, came on time, and finished our project earlier than estimated. They were efficient, thoughtful in their work, and got done before the heat of the day really settled in at our house. We were very pleased with their work.

Jason has great customer service and installed a mini split system in our basement. He was professional and reasonable. They waited for me to finish the basement with the drywall before they came back. It was a fairly smooth process. I would recommend them. Also the mini Split looks pretty good.

My 21 year old HVAC system has been struggling for a few years. Recently though temps were above 85 degrees in our house. Jason and Luis came out on a service call. What I had hoped would be a simple freon charge turned out to be a complete system replacement...to my advantage. With my leak and the phasing out of the R22 refrigerant replacing was the way to go. Jason was great about explaining everything including my financing options. When install day came Luis and Jason were very professional and stuck around after install to make sure the new unit worked. Even repaired a faulty wire outside at the condensing unit and installed a new return inside my house. Will definitely recommend.

Update: 06/18/2018Our AC condenser went out unexpectedly late on Saturday, Father’s Day Weekend. Tim, Jason & Brannon worked diligently to get AC back into our house. They provided us with portable units until they were able to get the required parts and had me up and running in no time. I can’t brag enough of what a phenomenal job this team has done for my family and having two toddlers and a newborn in the house they couldn’t have been quicker! They maintained constant communication and made sure it was done correctly! An amazing tidbit of information that was tremendous was that the Custom Klimates team registers the warranty on their installed products on the behalf of the home owner in getting the full benefits of the warranty of the installed system and in our case a full 10 year warranty on our Bryant system. May the LORD Jesus bless this amazing team!!!05/12/2018:Let me tell you, we had our entire HVAC system replaced in July of 2017 and I can’t say enough great things about the team at Custom Klimates. In an emergency they came through with incredible speed and workmanship. Tim, the owner carries incredible integrity and character. He and Jason, the General Manager, educated me on everything I could possibly know and more about my system. I highly recommend Tim and his staff to provide you with the highest of customer friendly service to exceed any of your expectations! If there happens to arise an issue be quick to get in touch with Tim and he will go the furthest possible distance to personally see through an issue. LORD bless Tim and the team at Custom Klimates!

As a Commercial Property Manager, I am always looking for a reliable person/company to help with HVAC needs at my shopping centers. Custom Klimates is always eager to help and they have a quick turnaround with anything I ask of them. Whether it is something as simple as an inspection of a unit or a full blown replacement, I know that it will be done right and on time and at a good price. I also always recommend their services to my tenants in case they need someone to help them with the HVAC maintenance. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Recently, Custom Klimates installed two new air conditioning systems in our home. Both systems included the A/C condenser on the outside of our home as well as the air handler on the inside. Tim and his crew of technicians also installed additional ductwork that was required to adequately expand coverage of the system in the upstairs area of our home. The entire Custom Klimates staff was extremely professional with all aspects of the installation process and answered all our questions as the job progressed. In short, they went above and beyond to ensure that we were fully satisfied. I strongly recommend Custom Klimates to anyone needing air conditioning system work.
12:55 05 Jun 20
Friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent service. They just replaced our whole upstairs unit including duct work and lines. We could not be happier with our new system. Looking at doing the downstairs now. Recommending to all our friends!

Called a few moments ago and spoke with a gentleman who was extremely rude. I proceeded to ask him about his marketing/social media department and he cut me off stating the company did not have one and regardless they were uninterested in my business. Never again. Go elsewhere!

We have been a customer for a while. They always come when they say & do an excellent job with our maintenance. They explain everything they do. We would definitely recommend Custom Klimates.
