this is way too complicated and involved.
Those works that I expected to be done. My hot water circulation furnace is always banging and making some noise like hitting pipe using a wrench. I looked up YELP and Google review to hire the Heat+AC plumber in NYC. All of them that I hired just go directly to basement, stand next to furnace, drain or purging air a few buckets, and charge me $200~250. Still pipe is banging and wrench hitting noise.
Where can I find someone who would do this kind of work on my system?
Scary to hear it clicking at night
I kinda like the sound of baseboard heating. I grew up with the sound and it’s also a good indicator to know when it comes on.
Is this type of elements effective?
i don't mind the noise because when i hear it, i know it just started working
I guess we will just have to take your word on this one .
I live in an apartment. Mine is making a humming noise.
Richard, are the 'shock absorption' copper fittings still available bbn or have they been replaced with something new ?
