I’ve read all the past posts re: forced air heat vs. hot water heat.

I have a Burnham 206-P boiler that runs a hot water system (using old cast iron steam radiators). We’re switching from window unit AC’s to a central air conditioning split-system (Mr Slim or ArtCool or similar).

This is my question: Can a boiler (like our Burnham Model 206-P) run air heat through the grills that a Mr Slim or ArtCool would use? That is to say, can a boiler (not a furnace) provide air heat without installing big ducts?

I know you can install ELECTRIC heat in a split-system (heating coil inside Mr Slim or ArtCool) but can heat be delivered using the boiler’s hot water in a non-invasive way? Also, I know you can do a baseboard system with hot water but not looking to do that.

Thanks!
