That's irrelevant, since the heat would come from the ground.


In that environment, your best bet is ground source of one kind or
another. =A0They're great--had one (Water Furnace brand, one of the best).

... even without insulation the surface area of the basement is not large
*enough to move enough heat.


Looks like you didn't read the part of my posting you snipped.

Sorry it still will not work. The efficiency will drop to almost
nothing. You don't have enough exchange area.
