The first step is to settle on a type of heating system. Most Brooklyn brownstones — in particular, the classic Italianate homes of the mid-19th century — were built without central heating. Starting in the 1880s, steam systems, and later forced air, began to appear in townhouses and luxury apartment houses built for the wealthy. Steam systems were installed in the vast majority of brownstones between 1910 and 1930, along with a few hot water systems.

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat a building.  The heat pump moves the small amount of warm air from the outside, transporting it to the indoors, helped along by warm-air delivery systems. The heat pump then conveys more energy than it consumes, because the electricity in the heat pump is used to move heat as opposed to generating it.

I also found my adjustable pliers, remembering that a couple of the radiator valves were painted shut and might require a little more muscle to loosen them up. My wife, Marissa, eyed me suspiciously as I emerged from the cellar with these items and a testosterone-filled look in my eye.
