I'll agree with the other about just heating the upstairs being more efficient. On a side note, we have Nat gas Forced air heat, and it has a setback to 55 at night with the thermostat being on the 1st floor. The Basement is carpeted but unfinished walls with no neat. When the 1st floor has reached 55, it's actually warmer in the basement. Next time I'm home I'll have to put a thermometer down there. If I remember right from last time I check the temp. it usually stays around 60-62, much of which I assume is just natural heat coming through the floor and such from the warmer earth. Just an interesting thing I noted, and one more tic on the positive side of having a house be fully underground.
