I'm looking at a house for sale that has hot water baseboard heat. It
is not the zoned design. The heater is tiny, about the size of a
large pressure cooker.

Is this type of heater desirable, or should I look for a house with
forced air?. Also, can I install central air conditioning when I have
the baseboard heat? The house is a 1600 square foot split level.

Thanks,

Hi,
If between two is the choice(assuming they are both well
designed/installed), I'd go for water heating. No noise, no dust.
A/C, you can install good ductless system.


Thanks to both posters.
