Thank you and my apologies for the text. I forgot about that issue. With
that in mind, I will reply again what I replied with yesterday in case some
couldn't read it..

Thank you for the replies.

My radiant heat system is a baseboard system and yes, arranging furniture
can be tricky and requires it t be away from the wall a baseboard may be on.
I have seen thinner baseboard such as the "Runtal" system. Sharp looking and
better with furniture placement. *I've also heard about the underfloor
system and thought about converting. Anyone care to chime in on the
difficulties and/or expense of doing this?

Reading a few replies indicated a heat pump. How does a heat pump work with
a boiler system and no AC?

Thanks again.

The heat pump warms the water instead of the boiler. The biggest
factor is where do you live? If it's a temperate climate, that could
be an option. But if it's somewhere that the heat pump alone will
not be sufficient and you need a backup source, ie a boiler anyway,
then it's not practical. Which is why they aren't very popular.
Also, if you're going to have a large heat pump it's more cost
effective to have it provide the AC too, instead of another heat pump.
