Hot-water heating and radiator repair in Manhattan
Radiators that stay cold, rooms that never warm up, or pipes that bang when the heat comes on: we repair hot-water heating systems, from the boiler to the radiator valve.
Call any time, day or night(212) 293-0494How we handle heating
In a hot-water heating system, a boiler heats water that circulates through pipes to radiators or baseboards around the home. When one room stays cold, the cause is often air trapped in a radiator, a stuck valve, or a balancing problem somewhere in the system.
We bleed and balance radiators, repair valves and pipework, and sort out controls and thermostats so heat reaches the rooms that need it. Our heating work covers hot-water systems; we don't work on steam heating.

Heating: questions
How do I know if my heating is hot-water or steam?
Hot-water radiators usually have a small bleed valve near the top and are fed by two pipes. Steam radiators often have a single pipe and a vent that hisses. We work on hot-water systems.
Why is only one radiator cold?
In a hot-water system, trapped air is a common cause, especially if it's cold at the top. If bleeding it doesn't help, the valve or the system needs a look.
My building controls the heat. Can you still help?
For hot-water radiators and leaks inside your apartment, yes. For the central boiler, check with your building management first.
