Grandkids live in a northern state, so would this work in a large finished basement?

Yes. It will work indoors. In the winter, we keep ours on our screened porch. Just make sure you weight it down (we put a few bricks inside the bottom). You'll need enough of a clear radius around it for the ball to swing and the kids to stand & hit it

We live in N.Y. and play it outside most of the year. You would need to have high ceilings in the basement and plenty of open space to enjoy it fully.

If there is ample open space and taller ceilings (at least 10 foot) it will but outside of that it may be better suited to a large garage or open space during the summer.

Yes, I think it would work nicely. The kids wouldn't be able to hit the ball too high, so consider the height of your ceiling. We've chosen to use water for the base instead of sand since the base is the box that holds all the Swingball parts when finished playing. I don't know how 'northern' your state is but I would say that unless the temp/wind chill is very cold, they should be able to enjoy it outdoors most any time of the year.

Yes, it did fit my Basement. and it would be around (maximum) 6 feet and 5 inches tall...

Mine does a decent job heating a finished basement with 19 by 24 feet. I am quite happy with it. My insulation is probably not the best though either.

Since we don't have a basement, can't tell you. Since we bought ours, it covers an area that includes 3 large bedrooms, 3 baths, and a TV room very well. The change in the air is quite noticeable. Our electric bill has decreased by slightly over $100. Good Luck.

I used it in my unfinished basement. It seemed to work really well and no apparent mess.

Yes, and the thing is WONDERFUL....it made our basement into a liveable space. The only thing is that it generates heat (which is great in the winter) so we are going to have to put an a/c unit down there for the summer.

I am. It's going to be relative to the size of your room. I use it in my basement, which is quite large but it's a secondary heat source and helps take the chill off in the winter.

It would be great in a basement . Best heater I have ever owned well worth the price I have 2 of them . Yes it has overheat protection and has a very accurate adjustable thermostat .

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

I too use the unit in the basement. I would not consider it quiet enough to be used within the living section. All the best.

Our Navien was installed inside, in the basement. We live in Minnesota with sub-zero temps, but have never had a problem. Don't hesitate to contact a local installer or heating & cooling system expert.

It is very well built. We didn't even need to stake it down outside so I think it would work fine in a basement.

You would be able to use it in the basement; however, it does move a bit if it is hit really hard. My son uses it in the garage all the time without being staked down.

It depends on how much moisture you have, but I am using it in a basement room about this size. It works well there.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the basement but unless it has an 8 foot plus ceiling it would be awfully tight. In the end I decided daylight was more important and worked out how to keep it warm. If we had a garage then I would have put there since you could open the door for daylight, probably would have still put in a heat pump for it if the garage was unheated.

I believe so as if heats my 500 square foot cottage I'm renting in Washington state on the low setting easily. I'm quite sure it can handle a700 square foot basement. Especially if you use the higher setting. The units thermostat is very accurate and will keep the temperature you want. Highly recommended. Hope this helps.

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.
