I'm renovating a house in Georgia, U.S. and part of that is finishing the basement. Currently the duct board supply trunk lines feeding the main floor T off of the main floor furnace (located centrally in the basement) supply plenum. The trunk has flex duct branching off for distribution that supply main floor register boots (these need sealing work too) . The install looks textbook for the early 1990's. I want to replace these duct board trunks and plenums with rectangular steel as I don't feel comfortable selling a house with fiberglass in supply passages these days. I want to replicate these exactly, screwed together and sealed with mastic tape and mastic over that. Look forward to hea

From what I've seen (with plenty of exceptions) western/mountain areas are mostly hydronic/baseboard heat, Northeast is mostly boilers with free standing radiators, south is forced air/gas with heat pumps in dual fuel configurations really far south (I understand that logic), and I'm not sure about the super frigid upper Midwest I assume they have to set their clothes on fire to stay warm?

Can hydronic also cool in dryer climates?
