Heat up your basement in 3 ways
Forced Air Furnace
Electric Baseboard Heating
Hydronic Heating
Let's find out which works best for you!
Forced Air Furnace
Heating basements is a common choice for forced air furnaces. By using ductwork to transmit heat, this system effectively warms the entire room. One outstanding benefit is its quick heating capability, which guarantees comfort throughout the colder months. The cost of Forced Air Furnace System is approximately between $6000 and $8500. It also depend how big the job is. We also provide gas line install for new furnaces including city permit and inspection. All work is done in with respect of city regulations.
With our expertise, we implement seperate furnace system for basement and upper unit including distinct ductwork and individual thermostats. We guarantee precise climate managment and comfort for both the units. Moreover, we also do kitchen exhaust and bathroom fan roughing to have proper ventilation in these key areas,improving indoor air quality and moisture buildup, thus contributing to a healthier living environment.
Electric Baseboard Heating with HRV System
A further common choice for basement heating is to combine an HRV system with electric baseboard heating. Without the requirement for ducts, baseboard heaters offer continuous warmth and are comparatively simple to install and maintain. An HRV system guarantees enough ventilation, preserving air quality and avoiding moisture buildup.
Electric Baseboard Heating paired with an HRV system is an efficient alternative where furnace installation or ductwork addition isn’t feasible due to less space. Additionally, while electric baseboard heaters may be initially more expensive to operate due to electricity costs compared to gas, their installation and maintenance costs are often lower, offering long term heating solution. We only provide installation of HRV system, however for electric baseboard heater, we collaborate with trusted partners to ensure seamless integration.
Hydronic Heating with an HRV system
When combined with an HRV system for ventilation, hydronic heating provides a flexible and effective method of heating basements. This method uses pipes set in the floor or walls to circulate hot water or steam, which distributes heat uniformly across the room.
At Modern HVAC, we specialize in providing top-quality HRV systems to ensure optimal indoor air quality and comfort for our clients. While we don’t handle hydronic heating installations, we excel in implementing fully dedicated HRV systems tailored to your specific needs. We make sure to have fresh air in all the living areas and exhaust stale air from the basement.
