I don’t use them for my properties for the same reason you’ve encountered “no central heating” (I have radiant heat but no radiator in my bedroom).

When he returned, the furnace had sent water through pipes to third floor radiator which flooded third, second and first floors.Plumbers insurance company and adjusters are offering $1,500 where we think repairs will run approx. $7,000.

Sometimes it freezes in the winter in KCK [citation needed], so you also get to install some kind of heater in the garage - whether that is electric, or gas, or even a radiator coming off of the water heater. 

I actually don't think it's steam but it does use radiators.

If you don't have ducts installed, or have electric heated water-filled radiators, converting that over to gas for heat is going to be very expensive.

Hoping to hear from others on a few of my options for the partially updated unit (radiator heat was replaced by ductless AC and new stainless fridge+stove/oven).A few improvement ideas in mind:- Add a dishwasher (requires replacing older, painted cabinets)- Replace existing granite kitchen countertop (cheaply installed w/ misaligned seams and rough cuts, traditional in style clashes with rest of home)- Plumb in-unit laundry hookups (requires sacrificing kitchen pantry closet.

The purpose of a steam radiator valve is to turn off the radiator, you DON'T use them to control heat to the radiator.

The apartment building I currently live in and pay rent in includes free water and heat delivered through radiators/furnace.

I feel although this secret room would be vented there is a lot of radiated heat in this room.
