Gas and Oil Home Heating Furnaces - hot water baseboard heater

My home is heated with old steam radiators. As you already know they are big and bluky in a room. A friend told me about hot water baseboard heaters. Small and more cost efficient sounding. I am hoping to replace the radiators with baseboard heaters.Please told me if this is possible.And that it is cost efficient.Thank you. :confused:
