Joe, do you really want to do this? Pull up a chair and sit back.
There are other options. Cast iron is about the best heat emitters made and are environmentally friendly! You already own them. Can't beat that price!
Much more to it than that, so stick around.

Steam radiator to baseboard HW conversion
Is there a rule of thumb to determine how many feet of hot water baseboard is required to replace a given number of steam radiator sections?0 -
Mr. Latore
Are you planning to convert a Steam System to hot water?

Brad,
No, don't plan on converting. We're doing a small addition which is located quite a distance from and with many obstructions to current steam boiler. Was thinking about adding a hot water boiler in the attic of the addition & using it for heat in the addition.
Thanks.0 -
Start
by calculating the heat loss of the proposed addition. Then size your radiation and boiler from that.
