| We put heat upstairs
Sorry I have been delayed getting back here... we have been busy putting heat upstairs!!! Before we did anything we borrowed some space heaters and heated the upstairs and wouldn't you know it the downstairs got warmer too... the upstairs heat finishes tomorrow - just in time for another cold snap next week.
Thank you warmsmeallup for your reply!! The basement downstairs is not heated, we use it for food storage (canned foods/ winter crops, etc) so we don't heat it. But the radiant heat was installed with aluminum plates to spread the heat, then reflective insulation then fiberglass batting (friction fit). The basement has been acting as we expected and the floor reaches the correct temperature and works the way it should, we just couldn't get the room warm.
I think this upstairs heat should do it.. if not I will be back, but we did have a professional look at our radiant installation and it all looks on track!
Wish me luck - its gonna be a cold winter! |
