[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We refinished our basement in our DC row house and did not bring the AC down there. The basement stayed cool for the summer. We had an attic AC unit and thermodynamics help-- cold air falls.[b] Be sure to have a dehumidifier down there.[/b] Our AC team advised us to install a ductless mini split if we had issues but we never did. So I think it's fine.[/quote] Air temp is not an issue but humidity is. [/quote] +1 It will feel clammy no matter what. If the basement is below ground, it should stay pretty cool on its own. Make sure you run a dehumidifier all summer. You'll want to have some sort of drain near the floor to run the drain hose. [/quote] +2 We put in central A/C last year in our house but did not extend it to the basement. It definitely fine without it.[/quote]
