Sream heating systems
I own a 1919 three-unit house in Brooklyn New York which has a steam heating system with radiators in each units using one boiler. I’d like to replace the steam heat radiators in two of the units with a force air heat using two difference furnaces. I would like to leave the present steam system and boiler to heat the larger unit. Could the present steam heat system be separated and adjusted to heat the larger unit keeping the present radiators while I would remove the radiators from the other units?

it can be done, but your oversized boiler will probably short cycle incessantly...also why not go hydronic for the top floors, since hot air furnaces are a really low rent system for heating, and are inappropriate for this heating zone
