What is recommended if our furnace is not large enough to accommodate a finished basement?
Another furnace can be added for the basement, or the existing one can be replaced with a larger furnace. A high efficiency furnace may be needed if the existing flue is too small. A zoning system can also be added to existing forced air ducting to increase the comfort and flexibility of the basement temperature. It allows for temperature regulation on each floor. Supplemental electric baseboard heat units are another option. It is the more economical. 11. Is there an advantage to using a suspended ceiling versus a drywall ceiling? The only advantage is the ability to easily run wires from room to room with a suspended ceiling. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages, though. Suspended ceilings are unattractive, limit design options, sag and discolor over time. We do not install this type of ceiling.
