Should I convert my Fort Greene brownstone from steam to hot water heat?
It depends on the building condition. Steam-to-hot-water conversion runs $20,000-$40,000 and requires new piping throughout (steam uses one pipe, hot water uses two). If your steam system works and you're not doing a gut renovation, it may not be worth it. If you're already opening walls, it's the right time.
