The problem with valves and adjustable vents is that they are easily misused. “People use the extremes,” Mr. Cataneo said. When people get chilly, they turn the valves all the way on until the room is too hot, then they turn them all the way off. Because of the mass of the radiator, he said, “there’s still a half-hour of heat left in that thing.” When the room eventually gets too cold, the process repeats. “It is best to set them and give them several hours to react to the adjustment,” Mr. Cataneo said. “These devices can provide a great deal of comfort — they just need time to work.”
