We want to finish the rest of our basement. It feels very cold, and
rarely heats above 65 in the winter. I thought perhaps we could install
a heating system in the floor, but we have a forced air furnace (2
years old)

Otherwise the other alternative is electric base board heaters. Is
installing a system in the floor, can that be done with my existing
furnace, or would there have to be a second unit to heat the floor.
Would that set up a moisture problem. The floor is concrete, pretty
level, and no apparent moisture, but would the temperature difference
create its own moisture problem?

The space to be finished is 12 x 15, 9 x 20
