Typically, if the furnace is over 10 years old, it was most likely oversized by the previous heating contractor. Not an efficient way to install, but a very common problem seen throughout the country that may actually help in your situation. I might try calling the contractor and ask if they typically size it to include the basement. There were originally three drops in the basement (one in the finished area), so you would hope they at least accounted for that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hvac-question/201665)._
