The radiator makes unbearable noises throu out the night, which drives her insane. We think that this is due to air pockets in the pipes, we can hear crackling and water drops.
The heating system is common to the whole building, and I cant turn off hot water.
How do i open this shit
This comment section really shows how important it is to specify your location when asking for advice.
Airing out radiators is like the simplest task one can do where I'm from. One flat heat screwdriver and a rag for the dripping, and you're done faster than you can even call a landlord or repair firm. No crazy steam contraptions.
So you're either calling for an expensive and time wasting repair unnecessarily or catching a faceful of scalding steam, if you take advice from the wrong part of the world...
