    Converting forced hot air system to baseboard heating system
    Hi, I have a basic question about heating. Is it possible to change a forced hot air system to a baseboard heating system? And if so, what does it involve exactly? And approximate prices, for about 5000 sq feet house.
    Thank you very much.

    Yes it is and it will cost big $$$.


    And if so, what does it involve exactly?


    Remove all that is there now and patch holes. Then install baseboard, boiler,etc.


    and approximate prices, for about 5000 sq feet house.

    Pries vary from state to state. You will need to call in your area and get a estimate.

    Consider adding the hot water heat and leaving the fan forced in place. This allows you to have necessary ductwork for air conditioning.
