Should I spend the money on upgrading heat and a/c?
Just bought my first investment single family in Mass. It's a 1600 sq ft single family built in 1900. It has a steam boiler fueled by oil. Big radiators around the house so ideally I'd like to get rid of those, but if I do an upgrade, I'm looking at a hydro-air system that will probably cost me $25K at least. Is it worth it? or do I go with a forced hot water system and separate a/c unit? or forget the a/c all together? The place needs to be gutted so it would be an ideal time to add those HVAC features..
