Since basement units are the coldest, it won’t be as needed. If it gets too cold, heaters are much easier to operate

    Depends on where you live and how the basement is built. “Sweating” concrete in winter can be a huge problem, and air quality is worse in basements.

      Is air quality worse in basements due to them having more floods? Like if a house was just built, would all the floors have the same air quality?

        That could be a factor, but I meant more in that dust settles easily in basements because they are physically lower. We live on the first floor of a 30 story building, and even here we end up getting tons of dust. But air quality is also a big issue here in general. may not be so serious in other places.
