Replace Old Cast Iron Radiator with Flat Unit

[Douglass Turner]

I am renovating a condo in a pre-war apartment building in Chelsea in Manhattan, NYC. I want to replace the ugly ancient cast iron radiators with modern flat wall mounted units. Does anyone have experience with this. Thanks.

That's a completely different type of heating system so you can get a plumber to come in and cap the radiator heating units and remove the cast iron and then install the wall mounts accordingly. Depending on the construction of your unit (brick or granite exteriors), it might not be plausible.
