Should have stuck with a boiler

Now I am stuck with three heating systems and they aren’t really good

For years our home relied on an aged boiler system in the basement. It hooked up to all the baseboards in the house and served as our heater. It was a undoubtedly wonderful heating system and never required any repairs. Even separate from heating maintenance a boiler can live over 60 years old. The boiler was aged when I moved in and lived for a long time. When it finally died I looked at replacing it with another boiler, sadly the cost of a boiler system is quite high, you get the system for such a long time and it is a tank. However, you undoubtedly have to spend to get that system. I cheaped out and have regretted it ever since. I have a gas fireplace in the dining room that doesn’t work as well. There are cold areas all over the house. When I change a lightbulb I suppose how overheated it is by the ceilings. The heating didn’t extend into the kitchen either. I needed to buy a ventless heating system for the kitchen to not have our pipes bursting. For the upper level I had to get a separate furnace as well. I went from 1 boiler system to three weird types of heaters. My apartment is much colder using the three heating systems too. I believe I would have saved cash paying right out for the boiler. Now I am stuck with three heating systems and they aren’t really good. The fireplace takes up a lot of room and the ventless heating system takes up a spot where a lower storage unit could go. I also had to dedicate a significant portion of the upstairs to the heater. Nobody can close their door or they don’t get heating either.
