Third floor overheats in summer
Top floors under steep roofs gain heat quickly. An attic air handler or ductless head is the usual solution.
Steam pipes knocking
Water collecting in pipes that have sagged over time causes knocking. Re-pitching the pipe or the radiator usually stops it.
Before you replace anything
Heating and Cooling a Victorian in Old Irving Park
Keep the radiators if they work: they’re durable and comfortable. Add cooling with high-velocity or ductless systems, which avoid cutting into plaster.
Treat the top floor as its own space. A separate system there usually does more for comfort than enlarging the main one.
