Furnaces, air handlers, and other HVAC components are commonly found in unfinished basements. You'll want to find a strategy to enclose your appliances for aesthetic and practical purposes, without completely sealing them off, when planning a blueprint for your completed basement. To keep this equipment hidden from the new living spaces, many completed basements include a utility or mechanical room. Because you'll be building a restricted area, such as a vehicle parking lot or a mechanical engineering room, the enclosure must be adequately ventilated according to regulations. The quantity of cubic feet required to adequately vent your area is determined by the equipment's BTU output.

While local building rules vary, the codes that apply to completing your basement as a habitable space, as noted above, are likely to include certain HVAC concerns. For the health and safety of inhabitants, you may be obliged to build a mechanical ventilation system if basement windows are not accessible or existing windows are insufficient to provide the appropriate quantity of natural ventilation. Unfinished basements are generally not conditioned, which means no ductwork delivering heating or cooling would be run to basement rooms. Detailed drawings showing where current equipment, supply, and return ducts are situated, as well as where new duct lines, registers, and other duct system components will be put, may be required by your building office. When extending your current heating and air conditioning duct system or adding a heat pump or air conditioner, your town may require you to acquire a building permit.

We assist our clients in determining the size heating and cooling system required to condition their house as well as the extra completed basement area, or only the basement space if auxiliary HVAC equipment will be installed. We use a variety of load calculations to figure out how many BTUs are required to heat or cool the room.

While adding several hundred square feet to your living spaces when you finish the basement, which means more space for your heating and cooling systems to heat and cool. We help you to figure out whether your present systems can handle the increased demand or whether you'll need more capacity; if so, should you improve your current systems or install supplemental systems to meet the added space? Heating and cooling systems are measured in tonnes, not pounds, as in BTUs.

If the capacity of your home's existing HVAC System is insufficient to condition the additional space of your finished basement, We help you decide whether to upgrade your existing HVAC system to a larger capacity system, or install a second HVAC system that is dedicated to the added space.

Moisture problems are common in basements. Install moisture management systems to keep moisture out of your subterranean spaces while also avoiding mould development while finishing your below-ground space to safeguard your hard work and your health.We can provide an HVAC solution to you in obtaining a dehumidifier that is suitable for curing your basement & to remove excess moisture from basement bathrooms and kitchens, with an a suitable ventilation system.
