'''About Our Heating System:'''
Don't touch it if you aren't on the Maintenance SquadCrew; call an expert!
'''Overview:'''
- If it's summertime, this should be self-explanatory.
- If it's cold outside but wayyy too warm inside, the actuator in the room's radiator (the thing that controls the room's heating system) is probably busted; submit an RFA!
* Is my furniture going to set on fire if it is pushed too close against the heat registers?
- Escher residents do not need to worry about U-M's regulation to keep furniture two feet away from their heat registers as that's simply not possible in Escher's small rooms and with our hydronic radiators it is not a safety risk.
* Should I try to take apart my thermostat and change the settings if my room's heating isn't working?
- Once upon a time, somebody got into the boiler room without permission and started Touching Stuff. One of the things they touched was one of the Sacred Boilers, which provides warmth and vitality to the house. They decided it would be a good idea to turn the boiler on; after all, it was a bit chilly in the house, and those silly maintenance people probably just forgot to turn the boiler back on. Besides, how much harm could they really be doing by pressing an on/off button?
Moral of the story: Don't touch stuff without asking the maintenance manager [[Maintenance Manager]] first! And don't go in the boiler rooms if you aren't a member of the Maintenance SquadCrew!!
