    Steam Radiator Noise and No Heat in Some radiators
    I have a new gas boiler. When the thermostat calls for heat, the pipes in the basement bang and clang loudly for about a minute and the basement gets hot. All of the radiators in the house bang softly. Some whistle. Half of the radiators get warm/hot. I have had the pipes flushed out twice. I think air in the pipes leading from the boiler may be the cause of the problem. How can I get air out of the pipes? I have checked valves and vents. Help!
