What should I do if the heating is always on? Summary of hot topics and solutions across the Internet in 10 days
Recently, as temperatures have plummeted in many parts of the country, the issue of heating usage has become a hot topic on social platforms. According to data monitoring across the entire network, search volume for keywords such as "heating is not hot" and "pipes have gas" increased by 320% month-on-month. This article summarizes the hot discussions in the past 10 days and provides structured solutions.
1. Network-wide popularity data statistics (November 1-10, 2023)

| platform | Amount of related topics | TOP3 keywords |
|---|---|---|
| 187,000 items | #heatingexhausttutorial#, #floorheatingexception#, #heatingcomplaint# | |
| Douyin | 23,000 videos | Heating exhaust, pressure gauge reading, water distributor repair |
| Baidu | Average daily searches: 42,000 | Heating noise, exhaust valve position, heating company phone number |
| Zhihu | 487 questions | Professional exhaust methods, system balance adjustment, energy saving suggestions |
2. Three main reasons why the heater is stale
Based on official responses from heating companies and interviews with technical staff, common reasons are summarized:
| Ranking | Reason | Proportion | Typical performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | System water injection residual air | 62% | There is a sound of gurgling water in the pipes and the area is not hot. |
| 2 | Automatic exhaust valve failure | 23% | Continuous hissing sound |
| 3 | Pipe microleakage | 15% | The pressure gauge continues to drop |
3. Five-step self-service exhaust method (the most liked plan on the entire network)
1.Locate exhaust points: Exhaust valve on the upper right side of the radiator (the floor heating is at the end of the water distributor)
2.Preparation tools: Flat-blade screwdriver + water container (a popular Douyin video recommends using a yogurt box)
3.Operation process: Rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise until there are no bubbles in the water (Zhihu engineers emphasize that it cannot be completely disassembled)
4.Exception handling: If the water continues to discharge exceeds 500ml, it should be shut down immediately (actual measurement data of Weibo’s people’s livelihood big V)
5.Effect verification: Wait 2 hours to observe the temperature change (average temperature rise measured by northern netizens is 3-5°C)
4. Judgment Standards for Professional Maintenance
| situation | Self-help solution | Need to report for repair |
|---|---|---|
| Single heater is not hot | √ | × |
| The whole house heating is not hot | × | √ |
| Need to repeat exhaust every day | × | √ |
| Accompanied by water leakage | × | √ |
5. Three major controversies that are hotly debated across the Internet
1.The battle over exhaust frequency: Weibo users reported that some communities require daily exhaust. The heating company explained that it was because the secondary pipe network transformation had not been completed.
2.Charge dispute: Douyin revealed that some areas charge "air emission fees", and the official has refuted the rumor as a violation.
3.Smart device applications: Zhihu Technical School discusses the reliability of automatic exhaust valves. Actual measurement data shows that traditional mechanical valves have a lower failure rate.
6. Recommended preventive measures (Baidu search TOP5)
1. Keep all radiator valves open during the initial stage of heating
2. Check the pressure gauge every week (preferably maintain it at 1.5-2Bar)
3. It is recommended to install Y-type filters in old communities (Taobao sales increase by 200% monthly)
4. If it is not used for a long time, it does not need to be filled with water for maintenance (easy for users in the south to ignore)
5. Choose an exhaust key with pressure self-locking function (average price of JD.com’s best-selling model is 9.9 yuan)
Note: The statistical period of the data in this article is from November 1 to 10, 2023, covering public discussion content on Weibo, Douyin, Baidu, Zhihu and other platforms. Please refer to the local heating department for specific maintenance plans.
