She must be very careful when turning down the heat and using other heat sources in a few rooms. The radiators on outside walls that are not heated will be subjected to freezing and breaking. The cost of repair may be greater than the savings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "aadorno1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 11:05 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] a boiler question.
hi list. I have a friend who owns a home and now that oil and gas prices are so high she wants to cut back on fuel. the problem is this. the house is 120 years old, and even though the boiler is new the radiators in the rooms are not. she can not turn off these radiators in these rooms and the only other options for her is to turn the boiler down to it's lowest setting and use space heaters. I would like to know is there something that could be done to the pipes that run from the boiler to the rest of the house. what I am trying to say is can something be done to the boiler itself so that only certain rooms get heat, because she doesn't use all these rooms and she can not turn off the heat in them either. all suggestions will be appreciated. thanks for your time, Angel.
