When I bought my home the basement was already finished. Half the basement is a crawlspace which is not usable. The other half is completly finished. The finished part is not insulated.
Would insulating the basement make much of a difference in keeping the basement warmer in the winter?
Is there any way to insulate the walls without removing the sheetrock? Blown insulation?
Thanks.

Not there cant say for sure. You dont want to blow it in there as you dont know if it has a V/B on the cement wall or not. I think it would pay to pull the drywall and do it right.

Boy and how.
Half the basement is a crawlspace which is not usable.
Id ask here if you have a good V/B down on the ground there. Also are the walls insulated there in the crawl space, they should be. ED;)
