Default Boilers and radiators

Does anyone know if you can get combi boilers or radiators here in the US that are commonplace in homes in the UK. I hate the warm air system and it is bloody expensive to use in the winter.

well, first of all, you can't even get an electric kettle (like a Tefal)to work here in the US because they are specified for 210-220 volts

yes, you could get a high wattage transformer to use it, but who wants to do that especailly if it is in a wet area like a kitchen?

Hot water home heating systems are known as radiant heating systems in the US.
