Alex, track is next.  My daughter threw a monkey wrench into my layout construction, she showed up with a couple of kids!  We're making room for them, so in addition to doing the heat and A/C, we're also finishing the 3rd floor loft.  Life occasionally intervenes when you're making other plans.

Now going on three years and have had no days that I needed a/c.  The heat is only justifiable  during an average of 14 weeks.  So far, on occasional fire in the wood burning stove or an electric space heater is all that is needed to make it comfortable.  The highest recorded temp was 74 and the lowest was 59.  Current temp is 68.

My situation is a bit different.  Since we were installing the loft climate control, the add-on to do the basement was less than if I were buying the whole system just for that area.  Also, closing off the basement vents will allow the main system to better distribute even heat to the upstairs.  I suspect that sometime in my future I'll be replacing the sliding door with something that holds the heat in better, that's in the future...

Be sure to check out the various methods of insulating that slider before deciding to replace. There are a lot of options.
