    We just turned off our water main to fix a leak. Will it affect our radiant heat?
    We just had to turn off our water main in the middle of the night to fix a leak. We have radiant heat - old radiators throughout the house, but with a furnace, not a boiler. Will having the water turned off affect our heat?
