Doing a renovation and would like to remove the bulky cast iron radiators. They heat the house perfectly, but I’m concerned that it may burn my 3yr old or might be a problem for my baby on the way. I’m thinking about baseboard but is that the only option that I have? My heating contractor told me of a low profile cast iron baseboard, but it potentially gets hot like a full sized radiator being that it’s also cast iron. Almost feel like I’m throwing away money replacing them, but don’t want my kids to get hurt. Opinions anyone?

  1. I have no experience with them personally but have been looking at the “modern” style steam radiators. For example: http://www.steamradiators.com which I believe are Runtal. Has anyone installed these or had experience with them?

    We have a combo of old cast iron and awful 50s fin tubes in our house and while it isn’t a priority to address since they are all behind covers, I would really like to replace them all eventually.
