Default Heat pump in basement?

the heat from the living area would sink into the basement...


That's occurring anyway and certainly not by "sinking".

what the OP needs is a ground water heat pump.......


Which, if you will read my first response is precisely what I recommended...


and lots and lots of insulation!


Given the level of cost he claims for last winter, it would seem either
the house is very small, the setpoint is extremely low, or the house is
pretty well insulated. Then again, maybe it's global warming and the
winter was mild last year...
