The heat comes on in my building when it gets to about 50 degrees outside.
Which leaves it way too toasty in here if the radiators are on. I turned on my AC just to see what the temp was and it was in the high 80's.
But here are some strange probs I am having
these radiators are hot water with return run, not steam)
- Even though there is a new valve, the one wont fully shut off once it has had hot water run through it.
- If they are on and I shut one off it makes this annoying
diddle diddle noise and hisses. But if I shut it off before the heat kicks on, this does not happen. Is this just the unit cooling down?
- they do bang when the first come on if they went cold. I looked that up and its pipes expanding and rubbing. Should I tell the LL so they can put in those bumper things to hold the pipe still to avoid damage?
These radiators are about 100 years old.
Any tips to finding the proper adjustment for temp?
I feel like a nut getting up and adjusting these things all the time. And that diddle hiss annoys the crap out of me.
