Heat moves upward, so you could theoretically just heat the lower floor. In the summer, you would cool the upstairs and the downstairs would remain cooler. However, variables such as how extreme the heat and cold are in your house, and your house's quality of insulation, windows and roofing probably will affect your plans.
