Ciao comunità.
Circa una settimana fa ho notato un forte calo della temperatura a casa: sembrava inferiore a 18 gradi.
Ho avvisato la società di manutenzione. L’addetto alla manutenzione ha controllato i radiatori e ha detto che funzionano bene, ma non è stato d’aiuto.
Il giorno successivo la temperatura scese a 17.
La settimana è passata e ora sono 15. La società di manutenzione dice che non possono fare nulla. La compagnia assicurativa dice che dovrei chiamare la compagnia di manutenzione.
Ho un bambino di 3 anni e non capisco cosa diavolo sta succedendo e cosa dovrei fare, quindi ogni consiglio è apprezzato.

I guess you could check your windows next? Perhaps the summer ventilation switch is open, or they need new sealing caulk (or whatever they use, I am no expert, but my guess is insulation is the issue here!)?
If the radiators are cold, maintenance should fix the issue. If the building is just leaking heat, it’s way harder to fix.
What kind of an apartment and building do you live in? Do you own the apartment or are you renting? If renting, is the landlord a private person or a company? If you are renting, contact your landlord. If you own the apartment, contact the property manager (isännöitsijä).
Note also that the temperature shall be measured at the middle of the room at 1 height with a calibrated thermometer. Close to walls or windows there might be colder spots and that is acceptable.
If you have thermostats on your radiator that you can turn yourself, turn them several times from warmest setting to coldest setting, and then leave it on warmest setting. Sometimes the valve needle gets stuck.
If the radiator is only warm at some spots, there might be air inside the radiator that needs to be let out, this is to be done by maintenance company for liability reasons.
Are the pipes delivering hot water to the radiator also cold or are they warm?
Is your apartment building connected to the district heating network, or does it have their own ground/air source heat pump system?
Hot take: you need to seal the windows.
The difference is almost 30 degrees and you say with a straight face that the heating is not working.
Have you asked any of your neighbors if they’re having similar issue?
Can’t edit post so will put updates in this comment:
1) Maintenance company said that it’s “water flow problem”
2) Windows are ok. Vents ate closed. TV sockets were leaking a bit but I’ve fixed them with tape.
3) Pipes are slightly warm. Radiator slightly warm only in point where pipe attaches.
