I have a 2500 sq ft finished basement that’s mostly below grade but a walk-out. I needed a dedicated HVAC zone if for no other reason than to dehumidify that much space in the summertime.

Thanks for your reply. I’m looking closer at 700 square foot, but agree humidity is a consideration.

Yep, humidity is definitely condensation.

My kids learned this song in kindergarten, sung to the tune of Darling Clementine, and spent many hours teaching it to me:

Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Collection…
(repeat until Dad screams)

So I am gonna have to disagree with you there lol!

Could your existing system support that much extra space? I don’t know if a dehumidifier alone would handle it. Maybe a small heat pump would be best without breaking the bank?

Good point. Probably not, therefore perhaps best to not tap into it.
