My building is heated by steam- (or hot water?) filled pipes that run along the bottoms of the walls. There is no knob or other way to turn the heating off– it’s all controlled by a thermostat in the ground floor unit of the townhouse — and I’m on the 2nd floor and was much too hot last winter. My landlord said the entire heating system is a single “circuit” so he can’t just turn off the heat on one floor.
It’s starting to cool off again…
Has anyone had any experience with this? What can I get my landlord to do about it?
