Radiators

[Cane32]

Hi everyone.
This is a easy one for you experts there are THIRTEEN rads in my house and the TWO that are in the lounge are hot at the TOP and WARM at the bottom.
Whats the problem, i have recently posted about getting a new BOILER is it that, or something to do with the rads.
I have bled the rads and all i get is water coming out, there are TRV's on them or is it something to do with the pipe work.
Your advice as usual would be appreciated. Cane

Is it not just a case of heat rises?

your system needs balancing read the wiki on here to see what you have to do

Tryed what you said no JOY .
The side on which the TRV is located, the pipe coming in is hot to touch but warm on the bottom of the rad.
The pipe on the other side is luke warm nearly cold
Thanks for info

Try removing the TRV heads first to see if the pin moves up and down, you could also try removing the rads and flushing them out if balancing has had no effect. Whilst the rads are off open the valves into a bucket to eliminate a blockage.
