As we enter the winter, you will find that the cold snap outside is getting worse and worse.
If there is no good heating equipment in the home, it will really affect your life experience, and families in the south will use various heaters, such as radiators, electric heaters, air conditioners, etc., which are relatively troublesome to use.
But the north is different, due to the region, the central floor heating is basically used here, which is much better than the traditional heater!
As long as the floor heating is heated, the room will be very warm, even if you wear short sleeves.
However, over time, underfloor heating is also prone to problems, and since it is installed underground, it is very difficult to repair.
In this issue, let's take a look at what to do if the floor heating at home is not hot? Don't worry about maintenance, learn these tricks, and let it heat up immediately!
Why isn't the underfloor heating in the home hot?
1. The floor heating has not been cleaned for a long time
In order to ensure the proper operation and comfort of the underfloor heating system before heating each winter, it is essential to clean it thoroughly.
As a common heating method in modern homes, the importance of floor heating and maintenance cannot be ignored.
The underfloor heating system that has not been cleaned for a long time is prone to accumulate various impurities and dirt, such as scale, rust and other microorganisms.
These dirt will not only affect the heat dissipation effect of the floor heating, resulting in poor heating effect, but also may cause problems such as pipe blockage and corrosion, which will affect the service life of the floor heating.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of heating in winter, it is recommended that the majority of owners regularly carry out professional cleaning of the floor heating system.
By using professional cleaning equipment and chemicals, the dirt and impurities on the pipes and radiators can be effectively removed, and the heat dissipation performance of the underfloor heating system can be restored.
At the same time, regular cleaning can also prevent problems such as pipe clogging and corrosion, and extend the life of the underfloor heating system.
2. The pipeline pressure is not enough
When the owners live on the upper floors, they often encounter the problem of insufficient pressure in the pipes, which directly leads to the unsatisfactory heating effect. This problem is not easy to solve and requires specialized technology and equipment to deal with it.
In this case, the most effective way is to contact the property or heating company of the community and ask for their help.
If the above methods still do not solve the problem, then you can consider installing a circulation pump.
This type of equipment can improve the overall heating effect of the heating system by increasing the circulation speed of the hot water. While this requires a certain amount of skill and knowledge, most owners are able to complete the installation safely and efficiently with the guidance of a professional.
3. There is gas in the pipe
When the floor heating in the home is warm on the main bar and the return bar is not, it is often caused by the presence of gas in the pipes.
These gases block the normal flow of hot water and impede circulation. At this point, there are a few things we can do to fix the problem.
First, you need to determine what the problem is. Observe the water separator for any abnormalities, such as water leakage or blockage. If there is, then it needs to be dealt with in a timely manner.
Next, you need to open the air release valve on the water separator. This bleed valve is usually located on top of the water separator, like a screw cap. Rotate this bleed valve until the gas inside is completely discharged.
During the deflation process, you may see some foamy stuff coming out, which is normal.
When all the gas in the pipeline is discharged, close the bleed valve. Then, wait for a while and observe if the underfloor heating returns to normal work. If the problem persists, then there may be another problem inside the pipeline. In this case, it is recommended that you ask a professional underfloor heating repairer to carry out the inspection and repair.
4. The filter is blocked
If you find that the main bar in your home is not hot, this will not only affect the indoor temperature, but also may bring some safety hazards.
Then, when the main bar at home is not hot, it may be caused by a clogged filter. At this time, you can use a wrench to open the filter, clean the filter inside, and then put it back on.
The filter is an important part of the heating system, and its main role is to prevent impurities and particles from entering the system, thereby protecting the pipes and heating equipment.
Over time, the filter in the filter may become clogged with impurities, resulting in poor water flow and affecting the heating effect.
If it's determined that it's a problem with the filter, then you can use a wrench to turn it on. Before turning on the filter, make sure to turn off the power to the heating system and associated valves to avoid water leakage or damage to the system.
Next, you need to remove the filter and wash it. When cleaning, you can use a soft brush or cotton cloth to gently wipe the surface of the filter, being careful not to use excessive force or harsh detergents to avoid damaging the filter or affecting its performance.
Once cleaned, reinstall the filter back into the filter and make sure it is securely installed. Finally, turn on the power supply of the heating system and the associated valves to check if the heating effect is back to normal.

In the case of whether the ground is warm or not, you can take a look at the above problems, and solve them in time to meet your needs and spend the winter with peace of mind.
