You could go with electric base board heaters in the basement, each has a thermostat and can be set for individual control. They would prob. heat the basement well. As for the rest of it I have forced air gas furnace and have a timer that sets the temp lower during the day and bring it up to comfort level when we are home. Does save a little on the bills. Don't know what affect it would have with a heat pump. But with the few degrees your adjusting I would think it would be best to leave it at 68. Mine is set for 63 when no one it home, 71 when we are up and about and 68 at night.
