HVAC sekection question

[Satha Palani]

I am currently rehabbing a SFH that I will occupy myself. The house was in poor condition when I bought it and I have gutted it down to the studs.

House details :

18 x 50 brick Victorian built in the late 1800’s

Corner lot / attached on one side. I have windows on 3 sides .

Living space distributed over 3 floors. The first 2 floor are approximately 800 sq/ft and the 3rd floor is 650 sq/ft.

Located in Newark NJ.

I am trying to figure out the best HVAC system to use. We currently rent an apartment that has steam radiators and my wife loves them. I am considering keeping the steam system and installing multi head spilt unit A/C for cooling .

Does anyone have recommendation that are different ? Is there something I should be considering that I have not .

All inputs are appreciated

Thanks
