If you have a 'sealed system' with an expansion vessel and no F&E tank AND 'air' in the rads, this may just need bleeding out and the pressure topped up. If a system is refilled with fresh water, some air inevitably comes in with the water and finds its way eventually to the top of a rad.

OTOH, you MAY be getting hydrogen or methane gas generated by corrosion processes inside the rads. When you next bleed a rad, collect some of the gas in a small container (as in school chemistry practicals, hold the container upside-down ABOVE the bleedscrew!) and then try to light it. If it pops, it's hydrogen! If so, you need to flush the system and add inhibitor.
