same here. I was thinking of getting a quartz heater that I saw at Sam's or Costco last year, that is meant to be ceiling mounted, and turns on/off with a pull-chain. Mount that right over the washer and drier.ronlat said:wife was not happy as the washer and dryer are in the basement.
good idea....but I found that most of my "savings" from using pellets was the fact that I wasn't heating this space.ronlat said:To resolve this I took a cold air return form upstairs and put in a in-duct blower and pulled heat from 1rst floor to basement. Last winter temp in basement stayed above 48 F all winter, including our lovely -25 f stretch of cold air.

What kind of duct blower did you put in? I'm wondering if this could be an answer for me. Also, approximately how expensive are these things?
Thanks
