Just recently my husband and I redid our basement.
We took all of our junk, got rid of it and sold it.
We insulated, added wood floors, carpets and drop down ceilings. So far it’s looking really good but we still need to install and add little things to the basement. One of these things that we need to look into is installing a different type of door leading from our kitchen to our basement. We weren’t sure if we wanted to install an interior door or something else. In our basement we have a ductless mini split system for the first floor of our home and for the second floor we have a central air conditioning unit. We don’t mind the airflow from the first floor coming from our kitchen to the basement. It keeps a fresh circulation of air. However at times we feel like we are losing a lot of our air conditioned air from the first floor. That is why my husband and I aren’t sure if we should install a door in between our kitchen and basement. We don’t want to lose all of the cool air that has been generated from the air conditioning unit on the first floor and into the basement. My husband and I went online to check different types of doors where we could get just the right amount of cool air into the basement. I think what I’m going to do is contact my local HVAC technician and see what other options we have to cool our basement.
