I've got an issue with the hot water radiators in my second floor bedroom, and while I think I have a solution I'd love to run it by you all and see what you think. I've attached a rough floorplan to illustrate the issue. first, the bedroom in question is a new addition I added about four years ago. I bought a used radiator, refurbished it and installed it as an extension of the existing hot water heat in the house. but on a dedicated line. it worked great for years, but last year I also moved a few around downstairs and now the new bedroom runs about 1-2 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. my guess is less heat is rising up the stairs and entering the bedroom suite (bedroom and dressing room illustrated in the drawing). So the radiator in the bedroom is working harder. As you can see there's a smaller radiator in the adjacent dressing room which you pass through to enter the bedroom. My plan is to install a larger (almost 2X) radiator in the dressing room in the hope it helps heat the bedroom form the other end, and makes up for less heat coming up the stairs. I think the small radiator in the dressing room was a bit undersize in the first place. what do you think? jp

1. I need to replace sealing gaskets for 2 cold water faucets on exterior wall and 1 hot water faucet for clothes washer. I cannot find shutoff valves for these faucets. Please confirm water main needs to be shut off and water heater needs to be drained for the maintenance. 2. While the water heater is drained, I would like to replace the anode. The tank is 8 years old. About the right time? Single story house, water heater in the attic. Thank you.
