Hi,

We had all the rads replaced in the spring. They had this issue from day one but, tbh, I thought once they start getting used in the winter, things might sort themselves out. That hasn't happened.

It's a weird situation where some rads heat up only at the top, and some only at the bottom. So, some probably need bleeding (clod at top), but I don't understand why we would still have some being cold at the bottom. The system is also very noisy with water sloshing / squelching around in the rads / through the pipes. Pipes are copper in 95% of the house, and quite old (around 20 - 25 yrs).

Thanks in advance.
