[quote=Anonymous]If your family room is cold - it's probably not the hardwood floors. Get a home energy audit to see where the cold air is coming from. Our house is all hardwood, built in 1960, and found an area with inadequate insulation. Once we fixed that, it was a million times better. Also with the old houses, the heat vents aren't always in the best places to keep all the rooms evenly warm. As for carpet with tack strips, the damage might come up when the floors are refinished, but it may not. If you get a heavy area rug - it won't be a trip hazard. Something that's thin might curl up at the edges. I would go with an area rug. I doubt carpet of any type would affect your resale value - it's not like you're ripping up the hardwood, it's still there.[/quote]
