Paul asks: I built a 2200 sq ft, 2 story colonial back in 1994 neat Taunton, MA (south of Boston). We had to use an oil fired boiler as there is no natural gas lines in town. It is a hydronic system. I would like to go with a GSHP slinky loop system but it seems like I'd have to replace all my baseboards and somehow retrofit for forced air for AC or do away with baseboards and go to a ALL forced air HVAC system. Are there alternatives? From research it seems that GSHP can't develop enough heat for "old style" hydronic baseboards and the rework for ductwork is time consuming and expensive. Are there any websites devoted to retrofitting older homes with these types of issues?
