Baseboard heating ?
The metal part is all bent and old. Can I just replace those metal covers or do I have to redo the whole thing (with the pipe, coil, etc..)
ETA: where do you buy the covers?

Re: Baseboard heating ?
that was our project this past sunday....
you can buy just the covers and the hardest part is taking off the old ones....but once that is done the new ones go up really easy
and man what a difference new ones make to the look of a room....we just did the LR and DR and they look soooooo much better

Re: Baseboard heating ?
Can I ask how much it cost to replace them? I'd love to do that.

Almost as much as it costs for the full baseboard with all the piping guts and such. It's almost highway robbery.
Those "covers" are not cheap. I don't know the prices off-hand. Just make sure you bring a bottle with you to Home Depot when you price them out because after you add all your linear feet, plus any end caps, you will need to drink.
