Hi - I live in Boston and currently have steam gas in my house. Its too noisy, uneven, and I am looking to convert. My goals: quiet, best indoor air quality (I have sensitivity to dust and mold), health related issues. Given my goals, what is the best heating strategy? I don't mind paying for radiant heat if that's what's best for me, but I want to make sure it achieves my goals before I convert. I doubt that forced hot air is best.. but I am not sure. David

Go to a radiant heat site and they will explain why radiant is the best heat source.
