i personally like old steam boilers you can actually replace it with a new one they still make them. the new radiators look totally different but the old ones never die so why replace them! they take awhile to heat up but once they heat up they hold there heat a long time! they get hot hot hot they are a sealed system and once it gets hot enough to make steam its under pressure so they arent to bad on gas. id replace my forced air system with a steam boiler any day i could afford to it would actually keep my house warm.

those radiators are usually found in the east or in very old housing units in the west.
they will keep you warm, but if get on the blink, they can be expense to fix….you should have a backup heat system, either wood stove, LPG heaters or forced heat system.
The furnaces are just a lot of pipes and iron and are not easily accessible.
Look for other options.

They are slow but heat evenly. They are ineffecient as well.
It would be a system that you would eventually want to replace.
