Dear Brownstoner,

My tenant lives on the top floor and requested that she be allowed to turn off the radiators on her floor as she says it too hot and the radiator makes a knocking noise.

We just got a new boiler and our old pipes and return system work fine (despite a bit of knocking). Would we damage the system if we allowed her to turn off the two radiators on her floor? Also is there anything we can do to decrease the knocking?

Thanks to everyone in advance.
