the radiator in my house makes a hissing noise everytime it's on and emits funky smelling air. I wonder if it's slowly killing me or something.

i've spent the last 2 days without heat...it's like 30 degrees out...my frickin' dog is shivering...but it just got fixed like 10 mins ago...WOOHOO!

Have you checked it's not a cat? They sometimes make a hissing noise and emit funky smelling air / gases.

if it looks like they just took a pee, you gotta bleed them, but otherwise, not sure about the smell....hissing is how they communicate

Either way if you're gonna bleed it you'd better get hold of some leeches.

you gotta get a little key thing...find the nozzel on the radiator, open it to let the air out...bleed it til water comes out.
Should save some $$ in oil...also no smell.good luck!

Dear Macguyver,
Your assistant is greatly needed. Enclosed are a rubber band, a stapler and a pencil. Come quick.
