Many netizens reported that the heating in their homes was not hot, had uneven temperatures, or was too expensive, arousing widespread concern. This article will analyze the causes and solutions of heating problems based on the hot data of the past 10 days.
1. Hot search list for heating issues on the entire network (last 10 days)

| Ranking | keywords | Search volume (10,000) | Main discussion platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | What should I do if the heating is not hot? | 125.6 | Weibo, Douyin |
| 2 | Heating costs rise | 89.3 | Zhihu, Tieba |
| 3 | Uneven temperature of floor heating | 67.8 | Xiaohongshu, Bilibili |
| 4 | Radiator noise | 52.4 | Douyin, Kuaishou |
| 5 | Smart thermostat recommendations | 41.2 | Zhihu, e-commerce platform |
2. Analysis of causes of heating problems
According to feedback from heating companies and technical experts, common heating problems are mainly divided into three categories:
| Question type | Proportion | main reason |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient temperature | 58% | Blocked pipes/insufficient water pressure/valve failure |
| Fee dispute | 27% | Measurement error/rate adjustment/building insulation difference |
| Equipment abnormality | 15% | Aging and corrosion/improper installation/temperature control failure |
3. Practical solutions
1.Basic troubleshooting three-step method: First check whether the valve is fully open (including each branch of the water distributor), then touch the pipe temperature, and finally contact the property management company to measure the inlet water temperature (standard should be ≥45°C).
2.Fee dispute resolution: You can ask the heating company to provide a detailed usage list. Users of new heat meters can query real-time data on the municipal platform through "household number + verification code".
3.Equipment upgrade suggestions: It is recommended to install a circulation pump in old communities (the cost is about 300-500 yuan). Newly renovated users are advised to choose an intelligent temperature control system with zone control.
4. Comparison of regional differences
| area | central heating ratio | Complaint Hotspots | Featured solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Northeastern Provinces | 92% | Pipeline aging | Government subsidies for renovation |
| North China | 85% | Temperature not up to standard | Pressure and test the water in advance |
| Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai | 38% | Self-heating costs are high | Air source heat pump subsidies |
5. Special tips from experts
Professor Wang, an HVAC expert from the China Academy of Building Research, pointed out:"The new national standard in 2023 requires the heating water inlet temperature to be increased by 2-3°C, but there is a lag in actual implementation.". It is recommended that users keep daily room temperature records (take photos with time watermarks), which can be used as evidence for rights protection. At the same time, we are reminded: Discharging heating water without permission not only affects the balance of the system, but may also cause health risks by adding chemicals.
As the cold wave continues, the heating discussion is expected to continue to heat up. It is recommended that users report problems through formal channels, and local housing and construction departments have opened 24-hour heating supervision hotlines. Keep reasonable expectations. It usually takes a buffer period of 3-5 days for the heating system to heat up.
