I need some help from all of you knowledgable folks. I have been reading the posting regarding radiators and some have been helpful, now I need specific help. My house here in the U.S. was built in 1917 and it has the old cast iron radiators. Things have been fine for the past 7 years now all of the sudden they are all making noises. The sound like the are all moaning (which would not surprise me). I have made NO changes to the system and this started about 3 weeks ago. There are no individual thermostats on each radiator. I have had to bleed a couple of them a few times this year, some I get water some I do not. So is my whole system clogged up or what? Does it sound like I should have the whole system flushed out? :(

Yes! It's probably clogged. Especially if you're not getting water out of some of the bleed valves. Sounds like it needs a good drain down, flush out and re-fill - not forgetting to add inhibitor.
