Or an auxiliary heat source in the basement.

We keep a little electric heater set on the 500W setting and it kept the temp in the basement at 80 when temps dipped to 28 degrees. That was with heater on one side of basement and temp. monitor on other side of basement.

In this manner we can keep an electric heater in the living area and keep it comfortable without burning propane, as stated in another post on a similar thread.
