Basement ceiling insulation (yea or nay?)

Basement ceiling insulation (yea or nay?)
I'm in NJ and I am finsihing my bsmt. I will be putting in baseboard heat very soon. I just put in R19 batts in 50% of my bsmt ceiling and WHOA did it ever get colder down there.
The first floor apt is more comfortable now, obviously. I am assuming that I did the right thing by insulating the ceiling.
I am hoping that once the heat gets goin, that it will STAY in the bsmt for the most part as well as when I put an AC in the window for the summer that the cold will stay.
Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
