Adding vents to a basement heating/cooling system?

Look into some of the new radiant heat options. They are much simpler than in the past and much less expensive.

I really lament not putting in-floor heating into my kitchen when we redid it. It wasn't that expensive and our kitchen only has one vent, so it's cooler than I'd like in the winter, particularly the tile floor.

Well we stained the concrete instead of putting in tile or carpet so I don't think that will work, unfortunately.

Bare concrete? Good luck ever keeping that room warm.

If your ceiling is high enough, put in a hardwood floor and put in-floor heating below it. It will turn your basement into the coziest man cave ever.

Yes, but if you were talking about your "manscape," 'cozy' would be off limits.
