in THE MAIN WALL
Hopefully your finished basement is insulated and has thermo windows (insulation is a lot cheaper than installing a bigger boiler).It would be good if your current boiler is large enough to heat the basement and your upstairs living area without any other changes.

PS: Make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors in the finished basement.

    basement

    My basement is finished. I want to leave the mains uninsulated to give heat to the basement.
    How can I do this and still deliver the best steam to the house?
