Reply to comment by McJumpington in NY Times lists Pittsburgh as having some of the most affordable homes in the country as compared to household income. (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/realestate/where-are-the-most-and-least-affordable-homes.html) by Far_Room23
Radiators are superior to forced air imo. I grew up in a house with radiators and now we have forced air. I so wish our house had radiators!

You'll wish that until you see your electric bill.

The cost is about the same (we have a similar sized house and live a mile from them, so we’ve compared utilities). But their radiator-heated house isn’t as dry as ours (and we even have a humidifier system), and also their house heats much more evenly than ours. They’re also quieter in my experience. And as someone who keeps houseplants, I’ll say that plants love radiators!
