I'm really curious about this because we have a similar system. We have a hot water boiler with hydronic baseboards. The alternative would be to install heat pumps with mini split systems and you would get AC in the summer months, but is it really worth the cost versus replacing the boiler?
Did you do any sort of cost comparison?
