A single furnace and AC for two full floors and a basement rarely keeps all three comfortable. Zoning or a second system often helps.
Long heating seasons dry out indoor air. A whole-house humidifier on the furnace can make the house feel warmer at a lower setting.
If one floor is always uncomfortable, ask about zoning with dampers or a second system. Zoning works best when the ducts are accessible and the furnace can vary its output.
For homes with radiators, consider keeping the boiler for heat and adding cooling only, which is often simpler than converting the whole house.

In larger, multi-level homes, often yes. Zoning sends heat and cooling where it’s needed, so you aren’t overcooling the basement to cool the bedrooms.
In winter, yes. Indoor humidity often drops very low, which makes the air feel colder and dries skin and wood. A furnace humidifier keeps it in a comfortable range.
