I am a new home owner (what a mistake). I had my furnace looked at before I turned it on and was told everything was fine. Well I turn it on and three radiators on the first floor get nice and hot and one upstairs. The bathroom radiator was leaking water and banging and the radiator in the den just leaks. The one in the laundry room gets luke warm but does not get warm enough for the room. Up on the second floor one of the radiators does not do anything, no banging, no heat, no nothing. I replaced the valve in the bathroom with a Gorton 6, turned it on this morning and it was banging, hissing and leaking. It does get hot after the water spits all over the place.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I have been told several things, about bleeding the radiators (which I have no clue what they are talking about, told me I need a key), the valves could be bad and/or there is too much water in the system. What should I look at first and could you give me some insight on bleeding the radiators. They are resecced radiators except for the one in the laundry room HELP!!!!
