We'd like to remove one of the two (hot water) baseboard heaters in our kitchen. (We'd like to replace it with additional cabinets.) Our house was built in 1988. Our kitchen is in our first floor. It appears it is a pipe that comes up from our basement, runs 5' of hot water along the wall, and then the pipe runs back down to our cellar. MY QUESTION: Is this a pretty easy job for a plumber? Does it involve cutting off the pipe that goes up to the kitchen and then back down, and then replace a straight pipe from A to B in the ceiling of our cellar? I'm curious what it involves and if it is a major or relatively simple task from a professional plumber.

Thanks!

You have the right idea; a plumber would do as you have written. It would take a bit more time to drain and fill again; but you have the correct idea.

He might tell you about a kick-space heater to keep your kitchen heated.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
