I've already got no heat, that's why I'm replacing the circulator, which

It's still messy, but if you close every valve you can, take the pressure
off, you can do a quick swap out.


I don't have hot water heat, but if I were closing every valve I
could, I would make a list of every valve I closed, and what its
position was before I started closing it.


That's probably good idea. Especially if you have short-term memory and
can't remember the 3 or 4 valves you close...

(not making fun of you.I HAVE to do that....)
