How much does it cost to convert radiator heat to forced heat?

Question

Just an estimate. I am looking to buy a house and trying to determain if its worth it to buy a house with radiator heat to covert. Thanks!

Answer 1

Radiator / hot water heat is more efficient, you don't want to convert.  You may want a new boiler or to ad AC but that is good heat.  You could also add a solar hot water heating loop to it to reduce your heating bill even more.  It is also easier to add zone control with water heat.

Answer 2

Forced air heating requires ductwork. This means tearing up walls,ceilings and floors to install.
