Hi, I'm thinking about replacing electric baseboard heating units and window
air conditioners with central air/heat. no ductwork installed .during the
70's the original hot water radiators were replaced by electric baseboared
heat. It's an 1150sq ft brick rowhouse.

Thanks,

Mike

what/where, etc.

If Ductwork Installation could be a problem or too costly, I would go
with ductless mini-split units.
Soleus mini-split units have good airflow. - udarrell
