If there's only one pipe leading to the radiator, it's steam. If there are
two, it's probably hot water.

Jeanne,
How can I tell whether my radiators are steam or hot wwater.
Mine too make noises and "hammer" horribly.

Is it steam or hotwater?
If hotwater, get a radiator key from the hardware store to turn the valve. It
costs very little. Bleed the radiator of the air that has accumulated. Have
a bowl with you to catch the water that will come out after the air is drained
but before you retighten the valve. Start with the one furthest from the
furnace.

Does anyone have experience with steam radiators? I know they're supposed to
make some noise, but I've got a few that bubble, gurgle, and whistle all night
long and I'd rather not be forced to make the choice between being warm and
getting a good night's sleep. I've heard that the system may need to be
balanced, but I'm a complete novice to this stuff.
Thanks,
Casey
