Do they pay for heating in summer? Why do we pay for heating all year round? Who decides when to pay

There are two options for paying for heating services:

Payment for heating services at the rates established by the regulatory body (rubles / sq.m) is charged throughout the year in equal shares, since the rates are calculated based on the tariffs and heat consumption standards in force for the corresponding period of time, taking into account the uneven distribution of heat energy consumption by months throughout the year, i.e. taking into account the fact that in summer the heating is turned off;

Payment for heating services in the presence of a common building metering device for heat energy (rubles / Gcal) is charged during the heating period in accordance with the actual consumption of heat energy at the tariffs established by the regulatory body.

The choice of payment option depends on the terms of the contract between the management and heat supply organizations, decisions of the board of condominiums, housing cooperatives, technical feasibility of installing a heat meter for heating purposes and other factors.

Gas supply

At whose expense should the household gas meters in apartment buildings be verified?
Who should bear the costs of maintenance of internal gas pipelines and gas equipment that are part of the common property of the house, if there are gas meters?
Is it legal for a natural gas seller to introduce a temperature coefficient? How is it calculated?

Water supply

The tariffs for water supply are high, while the quality of services does not correspond to them. How to achieve recalculation?
In our house, by a majority of votes, a decision was made to hold overhaul hot and cold water supply systems. One of the owners made expensive repairs in the apartment, closed the risers of cold and hot water in the boxes in the bathroom, and finished the boxes with ceramic tiles. At the same time, he agrees that the work should be performed, but on the condition that Management Company compensates or restores destroyed boxes and tiles. How legitimate is his demand?
The faucet in the apartment in the kitchen is faulty. Who should carry out the work on its repair or replacement? What in an apartment building should be contained at the expense of the general tariff, and what directly at the expense of the tenant?

Electrification and power supply

Is it possible to oblige the utility company to install an electric energy meter at the border of the balance sheet in an apartment building in order to pay for it with the energy supplying organization, and the utility company itself should pay the residents of the building for the electricity used?
For an individual, it is possible to use a tariff schedule differentiated by zones of the day (two-tariff accounting). What are the time zones of this tariff and what is the effect of this tariff on weekends and holidays?
At what rate do members of the horticultural partnership pay for the consumed electricity?

Payment for housing and utilities, provision of benefits

Since when and by what act have charges for excess area been canceled?
What services are paid for each person, and what - per square meter?

Housing maintenance and repair

The landlord - an urban settlement - provided an apartment under a social tenancy agreement. Who is responsible for the purchase and installation of an individual electricity meter (meter) in an apartment - the municipality or the employer as a consumer of electricity?
Do you want your apartment not to blow from the cracks, not to drip from the ceiling, and not to be afraid to enter the elevator? So that your home becomes an elegant handsome man, in which it is both prestigious and comfortable?
Why does the state want to give you money to renovate your home?

Questions about the work of management companies

What is the procedure for calculating the management company of payments for the consumption of utilities, calculated according to general metering devices. What to do if the management company exposes unreasonable amounts?

Good day!

The largest item of utility costs is heating. For many years I have been worried about the question: why do we pay monstrous sums in the summer, when the apartment is not heated? The answer that this money is spent on repairs does not suit me personally. How long can this system be repaired, every summer, throughout our life?

In general, I think this is the biggest and most sophisticated deception: nowhere in the world do they pay for heating in the summer, only in our powerless country.

These pipes should already be solid gold. No one can answer this question for me, but I would very much like to file a lawsuit in two or three years, a good amount would have run over.

Therefore, my question is: during my absence from the apartment, should I not pay for heating or should I?

I have water meters, but no electricity meters. Means, for the electricity they have to return the money to me during my absence from the apartment?

Evgeniya N.

Heating can be paid in equal installments during the heating season or all year round. See clause 42.1 of the rules for the provision of utilities.

A notional amount is calculated for the year. If there are no common meters in the house, then according to the standards, and if there are, then according to the indications of last year, and then it is adjusted. If you pay the whole year, including in the summer, then it is divided by 12 months. If you pay only during the heating season, then the amount is divided, for example, by 7 months.

Each year, regional authorities decide on what formula residents will pay for heating. In your area, the authorities have set payment in equal installments throughout the year. We do not know where you live, but in Moscow they also pay according to this principle.

Those who do not pay for heating in summer pay more in winter

Where does your money go?

Utility bills aren't just for repairs. This is payment for gas or electricity to heat the water in the pipes to the desired temperature. This is the maintenance of the boiler room, the salaries of dispatchers and workers, printer cartridges in the accounting department and gasoline for drivers of special equipment. It is also preparation for the heating season, repair of city communications, purchase of equipment and expertise.

Our housing and communal services are imperfect. We have many problems that need to be solved, but they are not being solved. Either they cannot, or there is no money.

But everything is learned by comparison. In Italy, a family of four pays utility bills. Gas there is so expensive that it is cheaper to cook on an electric stove. In Australia, you have to pay. And also the roofs are leaking there and you need to agree on the repair for a whole year. In Alabama, a family spends a month only on water, electricity and heating.

Will the money be returned for a communal apartment if you do not live in an apartment?

If you have a question about personal finances, expensive purchases, or family budget, write: [email protected]... We will answer the most interesting questions in the magazine.

Heat / Heating, heat supply - payment

At the beginning of each heating season, residents apartment buildings Again and again the question arises: on what principle do we pay "for heat?", "Isn't it too much?" and "how to check the correctness of charges for heating?"

And yet, the payment for heating is the most incomprehensible part of payments for the "communal" for citizens. The receipts we receive have the line "Heating". It contains a non-speaking unit of measurement - "gigacalories". And even less for us is anything explaining the figure in the column "volume of services rendered".

What services? How are they counted? And here are the calories? And where does the number of them come from, which for some reason is attributed to your apartment? Let's figure it out.

But let's say right away - the calculation of the amount that you have to pay for heat takes place quite complex rules... They include many formulas and take some time to figure out.

Therefore, we propose to proceed as follows: first, consider the logic of the calculations as a whole, you will be able to understand which of the options applies to your home. And then we will go through the formulas by which the calculation of the payment for heating in each specific option is carried out.

How heating charges are calculated. General logic

So, let's start with "calories", or rather Gigacalories (Gcal). These are units of measure for heat energy. She, thermal energy, is supplied to your apartments by means of a heat carrier - i.e. heated to the required temperature of water.

Passing through the heating system of the house, the coolant gives up part of its energy and makes the batteries and risers in your apartment hot. Therefore, it is natural that the amount of heat that enters our house is measured in Gcal.

If you have a heat meter in your apartment, then the answer to this question is relatively simple. How many the counter counted, and consumed so much. Plus to this we must add that part of the heat that goes to heating staircases, elevator halls, etc. This is called general household heating. How its volume is calculated, we will indicate below.

In general, we can say that it is, of course, easier to calculate the volume of your consumption using an apartment heat meter. The problem, however, is that the installation of heat meters in high-rise apartment buildings has just begun, and few have installed them now. Nevertheless, there are such people, and the current legislation clearly describes how to calculate their payment. We'll take a closer look at this.

Much more common is the case when the heat meter is at the "entrance" to an apartment building. Such a counter is called a common or collective counter. His readings make it possible to understand how much heat has entered the house. Then you can calculate how much of this energy is in each apartment.

The distribution in this case is proportional to the area of the apartments. This calculation looks quite logical. We give all the necessary formulas below.

Well, what happens if there is no general heat meter? We answer: the calculation is carried out according to the heating standards. The standard in this case is the calculated amount of heat energy that is needed to heat one square meter of housing within a month. They are measured in Gcal per sq. meter.

Since the temperature regime we have in winter different parts countries are very different, the standards for heating are determined by regional authorities and differ in different subjects of the federation. Moreover, for different types housing can be set and different standards. Which is quite logical - the heat loss in the old barracks and the relatively modern 11-story building built in the 80s is, of course, different.

The algorithm for calculating heating bills according to the standards is quite simple. The area of your apartment is multiplied by the current standard, the result is the amount of heat energy that is (theoretically) needed to keep you warm. Naturally, all these calculations are somewhat speculative and often do not correspond to the actual consumption of heat energy.

Our government has been stubbornly struggling with payment for heating according to the standards for some time now. The installation of general house heat meters is recognized as mandatory. And if there is no general house meter (although there is a technical possibility for its installation), then the heating fee is charged with “penalty” coefficients. From January 1, 2017, it is 1.5. The details of the calculation according to the standard are also given below.

In the meantime, let's summarize the intermediate result. The number that describes the amount of heat consumed in your payment can appear in one of three ways:

based on the readings of your apartment heat meter (plus your share of the heat consumption for general building needs)
based on your share of the total volume of heat consumption (calculated according to the general house meter)
based on heating standards, if you do not have a common meter in your house.

Another important clarification: according to current legislation, heating charges can be calculated:

during the heating season only
throughout the year

Which of these options to follow is up to the regional authorities. If a decision is made to charge heating payments throughout the year, then special correction factors are applied in the heating payment calculation formulas. We will talk about them below, in the section where formulas are analyzed.

Here, we note one important thing regarding payments for heat throughout the year: if you pay for heat in the summer months, and your house has a general-purpose heat meter, then you must make a corrective payment for heating every year.

Just mark it up for yourself, we'll get back to it in more detail below.

Now that we have generally figured out how the heat payment is calculated, let's move on to the formulas describing exactly what kind of payment you should have.

How is the heating fee calculated if payments are received only during the heating season?

Currently, the cost of heating services is calculated on the basis of the "Rules for the provision of utilities to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings ", approved by the RF government decree No. 354 of May 6, 2011. The current version of this document.

In order not to be confused in the future, we will call this document more simply - "Rules".

Let us clarify once again, if your payment for heat is charged only for the period October - May, then everything written in this section concerns you. If, in your case, payments for heat come monthly, including in the summer, then.

Let's go directly to the calculation of heat charges. Their algorithm, as we wrote above, depends on the following factors:

the presence of a common house meter in the house
the presence of apartment (individual) heat meters in all apartments and non-residential premises of the building
and also (we did not write about this above, but now we will bring you up to date) from the presence of at least 50% of residential (and non-residential) premises apartment building so-called "Distributors»

Let's deal with each of these points.

Option 1. Your house does not have a common heat meter.

In this case, the heating fee is calculated based on three parameters:

the heating standard approved in your region, how many gigacalories (Gcal) are needed to heat one square meter within a month
the heating tariff approved for your heat supplier, i.e. how much is one Gcal
the area of your apartment (the heated area, we recall, does not include the area of the loggia or balcony).

The formula that describes the calculation of heating costs in the absence of an individual (apartment) and general house meter looks like this:

P i = S i x N t x T t

S i — total area i residential or non-residential premises.

N t- the standard of consumption of communal services for heating.

T t- the tariff for heat energy, established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation

In other words, the area of your apartment is taken, multiplied by the heating standard (how many gcaloria is considered necessary to heat one square meter of area) and multiplied by the heat tariff in your region (the cost of one gigacalorie).

It is also worth considering that if you do not have a general heating meter in an apartment building, although there is a technical possibility for its installation, then a multiplying coefficient is applied when calculating the heating payment. Thus, the government encourages the management organizations of houses and residents to install general house metering devices.

The value of this multiplying coefficient for 2016 is taken equal to 1.4. And from January 1, 2017 - 1.5.

Option 2. There is a general house heat meter, no heating meters are installed in the apartments

It is worth noting that the formula below is valid only if none of the apartments in the house is equipped with an individual heat meter. If so, then the calculation is carried out as follows:

P i = V d x S i / S about x T t

V d- volume (quantity) consumed for settlement period thermal energy, determined according to the indications of the collective (common house) thermal energy meter, which is equipped with an apartment building.

S i- the total area of the i-th residential or non-residential premises

S O b - the total area of all residential and non-residential premises of an apartment building

T t- tariffs for heat energy, established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

To simplify, the total amount of heat consumed in an apartment building is taken.

It determines the share attributable to your apartment (based on the ratio of the total area of the house and the area of the apartment).

The resulting amount of heat in giga calories is multiplied by the tariff in force in your region.

Option 3. The general house meter is worth, all apartments (non-residential premises) are equipped with individual heat meters

"all

V i n- the volume (quantity) consumed for the billing period in i-th residential or non-residential premises a communal resource, determined according to the indications of an individual or general (apartment) metering device in the i-th residential or non-residential premises.

V i one

V i one = Vd - ∑ i V i n

S i

S about

T T

The bottom line is that the amount of heat consumed in the apartment is taken (based on the readings of the apartment meter), plus the part of the total heat consumption passing to this apartment.

Option 4. The general house meter is worth, at least one, but not all apartments are equipped with individual heat meters

In this case, the payment for heating is carried out in the following form:

P i = (V i + S i x (V d -∑V i) / S about) x T T

S i- the area of the apartment,

V D- the volume of consumption in the house, calculated according to the general house heat meter,

S about- the total area of all residential and non-residential premises in an apartment building,

T T- heat tariff,

V i- heat consumption in the apartment in question. If a heat meter is installed in it, then the volume of consumption by the meter is meant.

If we are talking about an apartment that is not equipped with a heat meter, then the consumption for it is calculated by a separate formula:

V i= S i х ∑V IPU / ∑S iIPU,

In other words, to calculate the heat volume, the average heat consumption per square meter in apartments equipped with heat meters and this average reading is multiplied by the area of the apartment in question. Those. for apartments without meters, the average heat consumption is extrapolated, which is calculated for apartments with meters.

In general, in Option 4 it is assumed that the share of heat consumption for general house needs attributable to the given room is added to the heat consumption in the apartment. This volume is proportional to the ratio of the area of this apartment and the sum of the areas of all residential and non-residential premises.

As you can see, the principle is the same as when calculating the payment for heating in houses, where all apartments are equipped with individual heat meters.

Option 5. Payment for heat in an apartment building, where more than 50% of apartments are equipped with distributors

The distributor is a sensor that is installed on the heating battery (outside) and takes into account the amount of heat that the battery gives off to environment... In other words, it is an analogue of a heat meter operating on other principles.

The rules require utilities to take meter readings to calculate heating bills. It is only necessary that two conditions are met:

a high-rise building must be equipped with a common building (collective) heat meter
distributors must be installed in apartments that collectively occupy more than 50% of all residential and non-residential premises of the house

If these conditions are met, that once a year (and by the decision of the meeting of tenants - and more often), the heating fee for apartments with distributors is adjusted based on the readings of these devices.

The formula in this case is as follows:

P i- the amount of payment for the provided heating utility service in the i-th dwelling room (apartment) equipped with distributors or non-dwelling space in an apartment building for the period for which the adjustment is made,

k- the number of residential premises (apartments) and non-residential premises equipped with distributors in an apartment building,

p- the number of distributors installed in the i-th dwelling (apartment) or non-dwelling in an apartment building;

m qi- the share of the volume of consumption of the communal heating service attributable to the q-th distributor installed in the i-th dwelling (apartment) or non-residential premises in an apartment building, in the volume of consumption of the communal heating service in all dwellings (apartments) equipped with distributors, and non-residential premises in an apartment building.

The meaning in this formula is:

the entire heating fee is taken, which (based on the standards, according to the formula of Option 2) paid by the apartments where the distributors are installed
the share of each of your distributors in the amount of heat that was taken into account by distributors in all apartments is calculated
then these shares are summed up and thus your share in heat consumption among all apartments equipped with distributors is calculated
we multiply the total volume of payment for heat for all apartments with distributors by your share in this consumption (judging by the readings of the distributors).
the resulting figure will be your payment for heat for the corrected period.

If it turns out to be more than you have already paid, you will be credited with the future payment for heat. If it is less, an additional adjustment payment will be charged.

How are heating bills calculated if payments are received throughout the year?

In this case, heating fees are charged throughout the year in equal installments. The algorithm for calculating payments here will also depend on

presence / absence of a common house heat meter

presence / absence of individual heat meters in apartments.

At the same time, if there is a communal metering device in the house, then tenants must make adjustments to the heating payment annually.

So let's consider possible options charging payment for heating.

Option 1. The house does not have either a common house or individual heat metering devices

In this case, the payment for heating in the i-th room (apartment) is calculated according to the standards. The calculation formula is as follows:

P i = S i x (N T x K) x T T

S i

N T- standard for heat energy consumption for heating (Gcal / sq. M);

TO- the coefficient of the frequency of payments by consumers for utility services for heating, determined by dividing the number of full months of the heating period in a year by the number of calendar months in a year.

T T - the tariff for heat energy, established in accordance with the legislation Russian Federation(RUB / Gcal);

At the same time, if you do not have a general heating meter in your apartment building, but there is a technical possibility for its installation, then a multiplying coefficient will be applied when calculating the heating payment.

The coefficient does not apply if there is a House Survey Act, during which it was recognized that it was not technically possible to install a collective (general house) heat meter.

Option 2. A general house heat meter is installed in the house, apartment heat meters are not installed in all apartments and non-residential premises

In this case, the calculation of the payment for heating is carried out according to the following formula:

P i = S i x V T x T T

S i- the total area of the i-th room (apartment) in an apartment building or the total area of a residential building (sq. m);

V T- the average monthly volume of heat energy consumption for heating for the previous year (Gcal / sq. m) based on the readings of the collective heat meter;

T T- the tariff for heat energy, established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (RUB / Gcal).

In the absence of information on the volume of consumption of heat energy for past year the amount of payment for heating is determined by the formula for calculating payment for heat according to the standard.

Once a year, the amount of payment for heating in the i-th residential area of an apartment building should be adjusted according to the formula:

P i = P k.pr x S i / S about - P fn.i

P k.pr- the amount of payment for heat energy, determined based on the indications of collective (common house) metering devices installed in an apartment building (rubles)

S i- the total area of the i-th premises (apartment, non-residential premises) in an apartment building or the total area of a residential building (sq. M);

S about- the total area of all premises in an apartment building or residential building (sq. m);

P fn.i- the total amount of payment for heating in the i-th residential area of an apartment building for the past year (rubles).

In other words, the calculation of payment for heat is based on the average monthly volume of consumption recorded by the general house meter for the last year.

When data on the average heat consumption for the current year appears, a recalculation (adjustment) is made based on these data.

Option 3. The house has a general-purpose heat meter, all (100%) apartments and non-residential premises are equipped with individual heat meters

The key here is to clarify that heat metering devices are equipped with "all »(100%) apartments and non-residential premises.

In this case, the following formula applies:

P i = (V i n + V i one x S i / S rev) x T T

V i n- the volume (amount) of heat energy, determined based on the average monthly volume of heat energy consumption for heating according to the indications of an individual (apartment) meter for the previous year

S i- the total area of the i-th room of an apartment building

S about- the total area of all residential premises (apartments) and non-residential premises in an apartment building

T T- the tariff (price) for a utility resource (in this case, for heat energy), established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

V i one- the volume (amount) of heat energy provided for the billing period for general house needs in an apartment building equipped with a collective (common house) thermal energy meter.

This volume of heat for general household needs is calculated, in turn, by the following formula:

V i one = V D - ∑ i V i n

V D- the volume of heat energy consumed in an apartment building for the billing period, determined based on the average monthly volume of heat energy consumption for heating according to the indications of the collective (common house) metering device for the previous year.

The bottom line is that the amount of heat that was consumed by the apartment on average per month last year (according to the readings of the apartment meter) is taken and the part of the last year's total house consumption of heat passed to this apartment is added to it.

The resulting figure is multiplied by the current heating tariff.

In this case, the amount of payment for heating in the i-th residential or non-residential premises of an apartment building is adjusted once a year according to the formula:

P i = P k.p - P n.p. - P n.n. / S vol. x S i

P k.p- the amount of payment for heat energy consumed over the past year in all premises, determined based on the indications of the collective (common house) metering device and the tariff for heat energy, approved in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (rubles);

P n.n- the amount of payment for heat energy consumed during the billing period in rooms not equipped with metering devices, determined on the basis of the heat energy consumption standard and the heat energy tariff approved in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;

S about- the total area of all residential and non-residential premises in an apartment building (sq. m);

S i- the total area of the i-th room (apartment, non-residential premises) in an apartment building (sq. m);

P np- the amount of payment for heat energy consumed over the past year in an apartment building equipped with a collective (common building) heat meter, with the exception of the volume (amount) of heat energy consumed over the past year in all residential and non-residential premises in an apartment building. This indicator is determined, in turn, by the formula:

V i one = V D - ∑ i V i n

V D- the volume of heat energy consumed in an apartment building for the settlement period, determined based on the average monthly volume of heat energy consumption for heating according to the indications of the collective (common house) meter for the previous year.

V i - the volume of heat energy consumption in the i-th residential or non-residential premises, based on the average monthly volume of heat energy consumption for heating according to the meter for the previous year.

Instead of a conclusion

After reading everything written above, we believe you could not help but ask a question - and then what? Okay, the formulas are more or less clear. But how to find out if we have a collective meter in our house, how to get acquainted with its readings? What is the standard for heating, heat tariffs in our region? Where to get all this ?!

These questions are legitimate and we hope that in the foreseeable future we will try in the next article to give them (and a number of other, no less relevant) answers.

But we hope this article, which you have already read, will give you the opportunity to at least general outline start navigating the question. And this is already a big deal. After all, we pay the most for heat from utilities. And it would be good to understand, at least in a first approximation, where the numbers in the line "heating" of our receipts come from.

Since winter in our country can begin in early autumn and end in late spring, it is around heating that hot disputes often flare up. And one of the most frequently asked questions causing the anger of a consumer burdened with utility bills - why do some people still have the "heating" column in their payments in the summer? And who can even fall into this strange category of payers?

Where to look for the answer?

The Government Decree "On the Provision of Utilities" has several versions, and it is logical that one can refer only to the last one by the date of its adoption. On this moment this is the Government Decree No. 603 of June 29, 2016, which sets out the procedure for calculating payment, methods of payment, as well as the rights and obligations of resource companies and consumers.

One out of two

According to these rules, the consumer only pays for what he has spent. So why do some people get bills in the summer? Because, according to the same decree, there are two methods of payment. The first is the option when payments are made only in I received heat - I paid for it, and then the amount per month is quite large. The second option is equal payment throughout the entire calendar year. It is important to understand that consumer pays not for non-existent warmth, but heat received by him during the heating season last year... That is, the payment is calculated from the data of the previous year of consumption and evenly divided by 12 months. It turns out that the consumer pays no more and no less, as many people think - the total amounts are approximately equal, but, thus, the financial burden on the consumer himself is reduced, since he does not have to give a significant part of his salary at once. He gives it away in parts.

Who decides when to pay?

Now the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation have the right to independently choose by what principle consumers to pay - within a year or only, and also change their decision. These rules will not necessarily be the same for everyone: in some municipalities heating may be billed monthly, in others during the seven colder months. Be that as it may, the decision on how and to whom to pay, the authorities cannot change when they want - only once a year.

And if you put a counter?

Obviously, the consumer should pay only for the resources that he has used up. The easiest way is to track your "expenses", which are usually set for water and electricity. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is impossible to organize this with a centralized heating system. Although, if the house is built according to individual project with a horizontal heating system, then a metering device, of course, is worth getting. Such an acquisition will really help you save money and control the temperature yourself.

A separate line about ONE

It doesn't matter if the fee is charged monthly or only during the heating season, you also need to pay the general building charges. They are also determined by the general house meter or by regional regulations and are subject to the same rules as our individual indicators.

Arina Tropinova

V modern conditions the budget of any Russian family is constantly subjected to various pressures and tests. The essential part wages always allocated to pay for utilities, the cost of which is steadily increasing every year. That is why people try to find ways to save money. In this regard, Russians are often worried about the question of why they have to pay for heating in the summer, if heat is supplied to apartments only in the cold season? This situation makes many people think that communal services are cunning and profiting from the population, but is this so?

Often people, seeing the heating bill in the summer, immediately decide to go to court. In fact, you should not immediately resort to such radical measures, initially you should try to find out everything and settle the conflicts peacefully. And only in a situation where your constitutional freedoms are really violated, and your rights are infringed, you need to ask for protection in the courts. But before making up legal action make sure it is really illegal to charge heating bills in summer.

Calculation method

To understand if the utility or the management company in charge of the distribution of payments is cheating you, you need to know how to calculate the amount to be paid, what tariffs are in effect and when citizens are entitled to discounts. Today there are several formulas for calculating. Which one to apply specifically in your case depends on a number of external factors and circumstances, for example, you live in an apartment or private house, a common or individual resource meter is installed, etc. Sometimes it happens that there is no meter in the house at all, in a similar situation, the amount of payments will be calculated according to the standards.

In 2013, amendments to the legislation came into force, according to which increased coefficients will be used in the formulas for the absence of a heat meter in the room. In 2019, when calculating the payment for heating, it will have to be multiplied by a factor of 1.6.

It should be noted that we pay for heat for the past heating period. The total amount for the consumption of resources is divided into 12 months. This scheme resembles an installment plan. This measure was introduced to reduce the financial burden on citizens. Whatever formula the calculation is carried out (according to the standard, individual or general meter), you always have to take into account the established tariff. It does not change during the year, but changes can occur when the billing period is changed. The billing is influenced by many factors, namely:

the average air temperature outside for the heating season and the last five years;
type of electronic carrier;
indicator of average wages in the region, etc.
