After installing my PF100 pellet furnace in my basement, I'm debating whether or not to remove all the insulation between the floor joists to gain the benefit of the heat the furnace is generating in the basement on the floor above. Don't know why they insulated between the joists in the first place when they built the house as there has always been a forced hot air furnace in the basement heating the ducting that went to the upstairs, so the basement has always been heated.
The floor already feels warm, but without the insulation blocking the heat, it would be even warmer. Can't decide to leave it alone or pull it down. I do believe there would be a heat gain if it came down.
