We have a fully underground basement. Walls are poured concrete. Ceilings 8′. Approx 1500 sq feet. 1500 sq feet finished. Elec furnace. Three heat vents open in basement.
In the summer it is fab to go down there to escape the heat but in the winter it is chilly enough that the kids won’t ever go down. I’d guess the temp with just the heat vents open to be maybe 55-60F.
What is a safe and quick way to heat the area? I only want to heat it on occassion to about 70F. I have 2 small electric, portable space heaters but they take forever & don’t get the space much warmer. I’m wondering if something like Eden Pure or possibly a ventless fireplace would do the trick.
On days like today, when we are totally snowed in, it is so much better for the sanity of the entire family if they are down there playing away!
Should also add that I am scared to death to handle anything that uses any fuel (propane) so that it is probably not a good option for me.
Thanks Much!
