Southern Utah Basement in Winter

During the summer months in southern Utah, the up to ten degree cooler temperature of your basement may be pleasant and inviting until winter temperatures cause you to strive for better heating in that lowest level of your home. Basements stay cool in the summer time due to warm air rising into the higher areas of your home. This is ideal until you wish for your home to be warmer than the air outside. If your basement is used for anything other than a laundry room or place for a furnace or storage, this may make it and area that is uncomfortable for family members to spend time. There are many solutions for adequately heating a basement. Proper insulation in walls, double paned windows if applicable, rugs and carpeting instead of hardwood or linoleum floors and a better furnace and venting system can all increase desired temperatures in your basement in the winter while still leaving you with a cooler escape in the summer months.
