Should you shut the air conditioning ducts in the basement since it is already cool down there?

Yes, this way the ac does not have to run your bill up to cool areas that do not need it. However, if it is humid and wet in the basement, you should run the air conditioner periodically to recirculate the air and reduce the amount of humidity down there.
