3. Step-by-step solution guide
Step 1: Self-examination and self-study (suitable for simple questions)
1. Check whether all valves are fully open (including main entrance valve and sub-chamber valve)
2. Use special tools to exhaust the radiator until continuous water flow is discharged.
3. Clean the obstructions around the radiator to ensure that the heat dissipation space is >30cm
Step 2: Contact the property management company (suitable for common problems in the community)
1. Make statistics on the heating situation of multiple households in this unit, and collective feedback will be more convincing.
2. It is required to check the operating parameters of the heat exchange station (the water supply temperature should be ≥45℃)
3. Supervise the cleaning of secondary pipe network filters in the community
Step 3: Complaints and rights protection (suitable for long-term unresolved cases)
1. Keep daily room temperature records (three measurements in the morning, noon and evening)
2. Dial the 12345 municipal service hotline (the full name of the heating company is required)
3. Submit evidence through the "National Heating Complaint Platform" WeChat applet
4. List of necessary evidence for rights protection

5. Latest policy reference (updated in 2023)
According to Article 28 of the "Urban Heating Regulations": During the heating period, except for force majeure reasons, the temperature in bedrooms and living rooms of users who do not have heat metering devices installed should be guaranteed to be no less than 18°C. If the standard is not met for 48 hours continuously, the heating unit shall refund the heating fee on a daily basis.
6. Expert advice
Professor Wang, an HVAC expert from the China Academy of Building Research, reminded that the new "low-temperature and long-term supply" model that has appeared in recent years may lead to lower body temperature. Users are advised to:
1. Use a humidifier (when the humidity is 40%-60%, the body temperature will increase by 2-3℃)
2. Check the window sealing (replacing the sealing strip can increase the room temperature by 1-2°C)
3. Avoid opening windows frequently (opening windows for >10 minutes each time will cause the room temperature to drop significantly)
Through the above systematic solutions, we hope to help you effectively deal with the problem of insufficient heating. In case of special circumstances, it is recommended to protect your own rights and interests through formal channels in a timely manner.
