I changed the air vent in for all the radiators on the second floor, but it is still 4 degrees colder then the 1st floor. one of the rooms is 10 degrees colder. I got an air vent with an extra large hole for that one. Still no differance. I wrapped the pipes down in the basement with insulation. still no differance. esspecially that one room thats 10 degrees colder.
