you could have air in your cooling system since you changed the coolant. there are a few ways to get it out or you can drill 2 or 3 holes in the thermostat. that might help.

Run the engine to normal operating temperature with heater turned all the way to HOT and turn it on high. Do this for about 5 -10 minutes. Let it cool down and then refill the radiator. Repeat about 3-5 times or until the coolant level stays the same. Sounds like the heater coil for the HVAC system might have a bubble.
