AC installation possible in forced hot water system?

Tags: HVAC

Hi, I just bought a 4-level townhouse and was interested in installing central AC. But I was told that since the house has forced hot water system, it can't be converted to a central AC system. Is this true?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!

No reason it can't be done. We had the same situation in our "new" place. Contractor put in the A/C unit and ductwork. Just a matter of some imagination in routing the ducts and having a place to put the air handler(s). It's not cheap but doable... and worth the effort.
