Hot Water System

Hot Water System FAQ:


I have a 2 family house that was vandalized wherein the copper pipes and steam radiators were taken away leaving the two steam boilers. The house needs at least 11 steam radiators to bring it back to work and these radiators are costly. I have been advised to buy used radiators and put the system back to work. As it may be difficult to find used radiators, I am thinking of putting new hot water boilers and putting baseboard heating units. I am looking forward for suggestions or alternatives.Also, I wonder whether I can change steam boiler to hot water boiler? The systems are gas based.
Thanks

Our house is equipped with a hot water boiler system for radiant heat. The boiler is 40 years old and we’ve never had a single problem with it other than having to replace zone valves. With proper maintenance how long will one of these boilers last?
