[QUOTE="remm, post: 129629, member: 821"] Is the basement completely below ground? Did you notice any snow melting next to the house last year when it shouldn't have been? That would be a sign of not having the foundation insulated properly and losing heat out the sides, no way to know if they put foam down under the rebar/pex to insulate from heat loss underneath without ripping out concrete or talking to builder. You gotta hope they insulated properly as there isn't much you can do at this point if they didn't. Not having internal walls insulated properly would make some difference in heat loss, but if below the walls isn't done right, that's where you'd lose quite a bit of heat from the concrete. I'd put a new thermostat in right away too, pretty cheap and definately wouldn't hurt. [/QUOTE]
