Customers with steam heating systems often ask about the possibility of converting to hot water and it's been my experience that this request is driven by three basic needs: No. 1 is reducing the annual operating costs; No. 2 is uneven distribution of heating; and No. 3 is safety due to small children or elderly being burned (1-PSI steam delivers 215℉ radiator surface temperature). Over the past 40-years, I have performed dozens of these conversions. I'll share my secrets and tips in this article.
