Home has a boiler, but no radiators.
We’re considering putting an offer in on a small (1300 sq ft) 1950 mid century modern home just outside of Pittsburgh. It has no air conditioning and in the listing under heating it says “other/steam”. The house is part of an estate so the disclosure has no information and the seller doesn’t know anything about the house. I noticed that the home has a boiler in the utility room, but no radiators anywhere, also no vents. I was under the impression that steam heat required radiators. Is it likely that it’s heated with in floor radiant? If so, how would the second floor be heated? It’s a split entry with the lower level on a slab. I’m assuming that it would be wise to abandon the in floor in favor something else. We would want to install AC. Would split units be the way to go? If so, can they supply heat as well?
