Great site! Hope someone can help.
I'm a newbie -just moved into a 70 yr old house with 70 year old system. In one particular room, I have two radiators - one seems to be hissing towards the end of a cycle -the other has a sound that I believe is steam passing thru water and making a gurgling sound loud enough to wake us up. It is most pronounced when the heat comes on in the morning. We have a set back thermometer and we have the heat turned down to 65 at night.
All the other radiators in the house are quiet.
Anyone have any solutions?
One other thing - it seems that the gurgling sound became more pronounced after we tuned off one radiator as it overheats the space. Is it possible that we created some sort of imbalance?
