1. Air blockage problem (highest proportion)

Because the top floor is at the end of the heating system, it is easy for air to accumulate, resulting in poor hot water circulation. The "1-minute exhaust method" that has recently been popular on short video platforms has been liked more than 30,000 times. The specific steps are as follows:

• Prepare a screwdriver and a water container;
• Locate the air release valve (usually a copper knob) on the side of the radiator;
• Turn counterclockwise until you hear a "hissing" sound, and turn it off after the water flow stabilizes.

2. Insufficient system pressure

If the heating in the entire building is not hot, you need to contact the heating company to check the pressure pump. Recently, government affairs platforms in many places have launched “direct trains for heating requests”, and the average response time has been shortened to 4 hours (according to People’s Daily Online).

3. Pipeline aging or design defects

For common problems in old communities, you can apply to be included in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau’s renovation plan. On November 8, a community in Beijing successfully obtained a pipe replacement case through collective complaints, which triggered heated discussions.
