Claudia, Yes. The cooler and more drafts that are in a basement or crawl space will make the floors and/or rooms immediately above them feel cooler. In our home which is a raised ranch with the garage immediately under the bedroom it is the coolest room in the house. Prior to putting insulated garage doors in it was very cool. After we replaced them with Garaga steel insulated doors and buttoned up other drafts the bedroom was warmer.

Hi All, Would it be safe to say that, if the basement is not insulated, the main floor of the house will become more drafty? We had all that work done to our basement, but we have not yet insulated it; there is no dry wall & no insulation! It's just brick walls & concrete flors now!
