Hello.
I have a 1 and a half story house on a full basement which is doubles as a garage. The first 3rd of the basement/ garage ceiling is insulated. -The front part over the garage door. The furnace is in the basement which keeps it around 40-50ish down there, depending how cold it is outside. I live in Binghamton NY. The overhead door is insulated but is colder by it. I park in the garage daily. Most of the basement is underground with the exception of the front wall with the overhead door.
My question is would it worth insulating the other 2/3's of the basement ceiling to save on heating? I found 23" by 8" think insulation that would work. The floor joices are 21" apart inside length and 8" deep. The ducts (forced hot air) are not insulated which helps keep the garage warmer. I do use the basement occasionally for working on my toys and using my bar down there/playing beer pong/partying. Any help would be much appreciated.
