the autumn wind is blowing and the weather is getting cooler. the reporter learned from beijing thermal power group that in order to ensure that the heating system is in good condition before the 2024-2025 heating season, beijing thermal power has started the water testing and pressure testing of the heating system.

water pressure testing is a routine task before each heating season. the heating unit will conduct water pressure testing in the area under its jurisdiction according to the work arrangement. by injecting cold water into the heating pipes to reach and maintain the working pressure, the operation of the heating system will be checked.

it should be noted that, unlike the start of the heating season, there is no "unified date" for water testing and pressure testing. the heating unit will post notices in the community or at the entrance of the building in advance, and users need to pay more attention in the near future.

when testing the water, after hearing the sound of water flowing into the radiator, the user should pay attention to the radiator, pipe joints and pipe valves to check for leaks or seepage. if leaks or seepage are found, the valve should be closed immediately, the leak should be blocked with thick towels, rags and other items, and repairs should be reported in time. beijing thermal power reminds that even if there is a slight leak, users should report it in time, otherwise the system pressure will increase after the heating season, which may easily cause the heating facilities to burst, causing injuries and damage to property.

in addition, beijing heat reminds residents who have modified or replaced their heating pipes or radiators this year to leave someone at home when testing the water. if a heating pipe or radiator leaks and is not discovered in time, it will cause property losses to the user and affect surrounding residents. if leakage is found, users must call beijing heat's 96069 heating service hotline to report it in time.
