Selenium - Unable to find the text inside a label

I want to extract the value which is appearing on the screen("70") in order to compare it with a value.

Have already tried getText(), getAttribute with different value - title, value, innerHTML, innerText. Unfortunately none of them worked.

Any idea on how we can do this?

 <label id="current_heat_setpoint" class="e_field_data_text">70</label>

Note :

I'm able to locate the element have have already made sure that it is the right one - getAttribute("id") returned "current_heat_setpoint".

As discussed in comments, this looks really like a timing issue - the text of the label is dynamically set and you need to wait for it to appear before getting it. This can be achieved with WebDriverWait and a custom Expected Condition:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement label = wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
        return driver.findElement(By.id("current_heat_setpoint")).getText().length() > 0;
    }
});
System.out.println(label.getText());
