In the near future, residents will begin to pay for hot water according to a new principle: separately for the water itself and separately for heating it.
So far, enterprises and organizations are already using the new rules, but the old accounting remains for residents. Due to communal confusion, housing and communal services refuse to pay heat power companies. Fontanka understood the complexities of a two-component tariff.
Before
Until 2014, the population and business structures paid for hot water as follows. For the calculation, it was necessary to know only the consumed number of cubic meters. It was multiplied by the tariff and by the figure artificially deduced by officials - 0.06 Gcal. It is this amount of thermal energy, according to their calculations, that is necessary to heat one cubic meter of water. As Irina Bugoslavskaya, Deputy Chairman of the Tariffs Committee, told Fontanka, the indicator “0.06 Gcal” was derived based on the following data: the temperature of the hot water provided should be 60-75 degrees, the temperature of the cold water used to prepare hot water should be 15 degrees in winter, 5 degrees in summer. According to Bugoslavskaya, the committee officials made several thousand measurements, taking information from metering devices - the artificially deduced figure was confirmed.
In connection with the use of this method of payment, there was a problem associated with risers and heated towel rails connected to the hot water system. They heat the air, that is, they consume Gcal. From October to April, this thermal energy is added to heating, but this cannot be done in summer. For a year now, a system has been operating in St. Petersburg, according to which payment for heat supply can be charged only during the heating period. As a result, unaccounted for heat is generated.
Solution
In May 2013, federal officials came up with a way out of the situation of unaccounted heating with heated towel rails and risers. To this end, it was decided to introduce a two-component tariff. Its essence lies in the separate payment for cold water and its heating - thermal energy.
There are two types of heating system. One implies that the pipe with hot water departs from the one intended for heating, the other implies that for hot water water is taken from the cold water supply system and heated.
If hot water is taken from the same pipe as heating, then payment for it will be calculated taking into account the costs associated with chemical treatment, staff salaries, and equipment maintenance. If cold water is taken for heating by the State Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal of St. Petersburg, then the payment for it is taken according to the tariff - now it is a little more than 20 rubles.
The tariff for heating is calculated based on how much resources were spent on the production of thermal energy.
Confused dwellers
Since January 1, 2014, a two-component tariff has been introduced for consumers who do not belong to the "population" group, that is, for organizations and enterprises. In order for the townspeople to be able to pay according to the new principle, it is necessary to amend the regulations. Paying under the new system is prohibited by the rules for the provision of utilities. Since residents are still paying under the old scheme, housing organizations serving homes with non-residential premises have a new headache.
The calculation of payment for hot water supply consists of two parts, or components, each of which is allocated in a separate line in the receipt - DHW and DHW heating. This is due to the fact that in the houses of Akademichesky water preparation is carried out directly by the management company in individual heating points of each house. In the process of preparing hot water, two types of communal resources are used - cold water and thermal energy.
The first component, the so-called
DHW supply- this is directly the volume of water that passed through the hot water supply meter and was consumed indoors in a month. Or, if the readings were not taken, or the meter turned out to be faulty or the verification period expired - the volume of water determined by calculation according to the average or standard for the number of prescribed .. The procedure for calculating the volume of DHW supply is exactly the same as for To calculate the cost of this service, cold water tariff is applied, since in this case it is cold water that is purchased from the supplier.The second component
DHW heating- this is the amount of thermal energy that was spent on heating the volume of cold water provided to the apartment to a hot temperature. This amount is determined based on the readings of the general house heat energy meter.In general, the amount of payment for hot water supply is calculated according to the following formula:
P i gv \u003d Vi gv × T xv+ (V v cr × Vi gv/ ∑ Vi gv × T v kr)
Vi Guards- the volume of hot water consumed during the billing period (month) in an apartment or non-residential premises
T xv- cold water tariff
V v cr- the amount of thermal energy used for the billing period for heating cold water in the independent production of hot water by the management company
∑ Vi gv- the total volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in all rooms of the house
T v cr- tariff for thermal energy
Calculation example:
Suppose the consumption of hot water in an apartment for a month was 7 m 3. Hot water consumption in the whole house - 465 m 3. The amount of thermal energy spent on heating DHW according to a common house metering device - 33.5 Gcal
7 m 3 * 33.3 rubles. + (33.5 Gcal * 7 m 3 / 465 m 3 * 1331.1 rubles) \u003d 233.1 + 671.3 \u003d 904.4 rubles,
Of which:
RUB 233.1 - payment for actual water consumption (DHW line in the receipt)
671.3 - payment for thermal energy spent on heating water to the required temperature (DHW heating line in the receipt)
In this example, 0.072 gigacalories of thermal energy were spent to heat one cube of hot water.
AT the value showing how many gigacalories it took to heat 1 cubic meter of water in the billing period is called DHW heating factor
The heating coefficient varies from month to month and largely depends on the following parameters:
Cold water supply temperature. At different times of the year, the temperature of cold water ranges from +2 to +20 degrees. Accordingly, in order to heat the water to the required temperature, you will have to spend a different amount of thermal energy.
The total volume of water consumed per month in all areas of the house. This value is largely influenced by the number of apartments that have passed their testimony in the current month, recalculations and, in general, the discipline of residents taking their testimony.
The cost of thermal energy for the circulation of hot water. The circulation of water in the pipes occurs continuously, including during the hours of minimum drawdown. That is, for example, at night, hot water is practically not used by residents, but thermal energy is still spent on heating water to maintain the required temperature of hot water in heated towel rails and at the entrances to apartments. This indicator is especially high in new, sparsely populated houses and stabilizes with an increase in the number of inhabitants.
Average values of DHW heating coefficients for each block are given in the section "Tariffs and calculated coefficients"
With the advent of cold weather, many Russians are concerned about the question of how to pay for utilities. For example, to how to calculate hot water and how often you should pay for these services. To answer all these questions, you first need to clarify whether a water meter is installed in this dwelling. If the counter is installed, then the calculation is made according to a certain scheme.
The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for utility services, which came last month. In this document, you should find a column that indicates the amount of water consumed over the past month, we need figures with indicators at the end of the last reporting period.
The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for utility services, which came last month
After these indications are written out, they should be entered in a new document. In this case, we are talking about a receipt for payment of utility bills for the next reporting period. As you can see, the answers to the questions, how to calculate the cost of hot water by the meter, how to determine its consumption, are quite simple. It is necessary to timely and correctly take all the readings of the water meter.
By the way, many management companies themselves enter the above information into the payment document. In this case, you do not have to look for data in old receipts. You also need to remember that in situations where the water meter has just been installed and these are the first readings, the previous ones will be zero.
The initial readings of some modern counters may not contain zeros, but some other numbers.
I would also like to clarify that the initial readings of some modern meters may not contain zeros, but some other numbers. In this case, in the receipt in the column where you need to indicate the previous readings, you need to leave these numbers.
The process of searching for previous meter readings is very important if you need to figure out how to calculate hot water from a meter. Without these data, it will not be possible to correctly calculate how many cubic meters of water were used in this reporting period.
So, before you start studying the question of how to calculate the cost of hot water, you should learn how to take readings from a water meter.
Designations on the counter
Almost all modern counters have a scale with a minimum of 8 digits. The first 5 of which are black, but the second 3 are red.
Important
It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed in the receipt, which are black. Because this is the data of cubic meters, and it is on them that the cost of water is calculated. But the data that is colored in red is liters. They do not need to be listed on invoices. Although these data make it possible to estimate how many liters of water a particular family consumes for a certain reporting period. Thus, you can understand whether it is worth saving on this benefit or whether the expense is within the normal range. And of course, you can determine how much water is spent on taking bath procedures, and how much on washing dishes, and so on.
It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed in the receipt, which are black
In order to correctly understand how to calculate the tariff for hot water, you should know on which day of the month the readings of this device are taken. Here, it must be remembered that water meter data must be taken at the end of each reporting period, after which they must be transferred to the appropriate authority. This can be done over a phone call or over the Internet.
On a note! It should be remembered that the figures are always indicated at the beginning of the reporting period (that is, those that were removed last month) and at the end (these are those that are removed now).
This regulation is spelled out in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011, its number 354.
How to correctly calculate the service?
It is no secret that the legislation of our country is constantly changing, in connection with which citizens begin to worry about the question of how to calculate hot water or any other utility costs.
If we talk specifically about water, then we should take into account the fact that the payment consists of certain components:
- indicators of the water meter, which is located in the room and controls the flow of cold water;
- indicators of the meter, which shows the consumption of hot water in this apartment;
- indicators of the device, which calculates the consumption of cold water for all tenants;
- data of the meter that controls the consumption by the residents of the house, it is installed in the basement of the house;
- the share of a particular apartment in the total expenditure;
- share, which corresponds to a particular apartment in this house.
The penultimate indicator is the most incomprehensible, although in fact everything is quite accessible. It is taken into account when determining the amount of the resource that was spent on everyone. It is also called "common house needs." This, by the way, also applies to the last indicator, it is calculated when general house needs are calculated.
Calculation of hot water consumption
As for the first two indicators, they are quite understandable. They depend on the residents themselves, because a person himself can choose for himself whether to save the consumption of a particular resource or not. But in other cases, it all depends on how often wet cleaning is done in the entrance of the house, on the number of riser leaks, and so on.
The worst thing about this settlement system is that almost all of the common house needs are fictitious. Indeed, in every house there are tenants who incorrectly indicate their individual indicators, or, for example, one person is registered in their apartment, but five live. Then the general house needs should have been calculated based on the fact that 3 people live in apartment No. 5, and not 1. In this case, everyone else would have to pay a little less. As you can see, the question of how to calculate hot water still needs careful study.
That is why our officials are still trying to figure out how to calculate the payment for hot water and what mechanism would be the most successful.
Does everyone have the same rates?
To save money, you should always screw on the tap, if at the moment it is not necessary to use water
To do this, just go to the site of the management company or just call there. Also, such information is contained on the receipt, which comes to each tenant.
After these data are found, the cost of spent cubic meters of the resource should be calculated. Further, it is quite simple to calculate the payment for hot water, this is done in the same way as in the case of all other resources. You should take the number of cubic meters spent and multiply by a specific tariff.
It should be noted that today there are many ways to save hot water consumption, thereby reducing your costs of paying for it. To do this, you can use special nozzles on the faucet, they will help not to spray water so much and control the power of pressure. You should also open the faucet valve not at full strength, so the jet will go under less pressure, but the water will not scatter in all directions. And of course, you should always screw on the tap, if at the moment it is not necessary to use water. For example, when a person brushes his teeth or washes his hair (while the head is being soaped or the toothbrush is being smeared, the water tap can be closed).
All these tips will help reduce the cost of paying for hot or cold water, thereby helping to correctly calculate the consumption of hot water.
The difference between hot and cold water calculations
Of course, in this formula, as in the one that takes into account the consumption of hot water, there are many flaws. Due to the fact that general house indicators are taken into account, it is difficult to control where the difference between the individual indicators of all residents and the data that was taken from the water meter installed on the house went. Perhaps everything really is, and all this water went to clean the entrance. But this is hardly believable. Of course, there are residents who deceive the state and give incorrect data, but there are also errors in the operation of the pipeline system itself (sewer pipes in most houses are old and can leak, so the water goes nowhere).
Hot water invoice
For a long time our government has been thinking about how to correctly calculate hot and cold water and how to improve the existing mechanism.
For example, in 2013, our authorities came to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish standard norms for general house needs and take these data into account when calculating the cost of one cubic meter of water. This helped to somewhat restrain the zeal of our management companies and help the citizens of the country. You can find out these figures from the management company. But this applies only to those cases where the tenants have entered into an agreement with the management company. If we are talking about Vodokanal, then each settlement will have its own separate fixed minimum payment. And, let's say, an overpayment in this reporting period can cover expenses in the next one.
As you can see, there is a whole scheme that makes it clear how to calculate hot water heating or how to calculate how much to pay for cold water consumption.

A reader of the Leninsky district of Chelyabinsk turned to the editorial office of our portal with a request to help her figure out - what will the indicated amount in the receipt go to and on what grounds was the installation of cold water made?
The second question arose because, as far as we know,
“The GTC can be established by the developer of a residential building - during the construction of an apartment building, or as part of the implementation of the federal law of July 21, 2007 No. 185-FZ “On the Housing and Utilities Reform Assistance Fund” during the overhaul of an apartment building, or as part of the implementation of the federal law RF dated November 23, 2009. No. 261-FZ "On energy saving ..." until 07/01/2012. - by decision of the general meeting of owners of the premises of an apartment building, and after 01.07.2012. - MUP POVV "(information from the site of MUP POVV).
As the reader explained, the house in which she is the owner of a one-room apartment was built in 1965 and has never been overhauled. Accordingly, the engineering networks of the building are not in the best condition. Will residents have to pay for water leaks under a common house?
But back to first question:
The receipt indicates that the payment is for the installation of the operating system, and will you have to pay again for the common house water meter?
The receipt looks like this:
Contacted for clarification department of settlement centers LLC RCC of Chelyabinsk by phone 211-55-11. The specialists explained that the calculation is made not only for the installation of the operating system, but also for the common house water meter itself.
MUP "POVV" offers pay bills in two ways:
1) Pay in a lump sum payment by the 20th day of the month following the settlement one, thus reimbursing the costs for setting your share for (GPU) without paying interest for installments.
2) Installment payment for 5 years or less installment period. When providing an installment plan, interest is accrued on the balance of the unpaid amount in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in force on the date of accrual. Interest will be calculated from the 2nd receipt.
When paying the receipt in installments, the owner can pay any amount, but not less than the payment indicated in the line “Minimum payment amount (for 5 years by installments).
The cost of the OPU and the cost of its installation did not seem large. But please take into account that this is the Leninsky district of Chelyabinsk, a specific building with about 120 apartments. What will be the payment in your house, your receipts will show.
Second question- the legitimacy of the installation has not yet been clarified. Unfortunately, it was not possible to contact the lawyers of the MUP POVV company at the specified number and get clarifications - no one picked up the phone. We will call.
Answers to the most popular questions on common house meters (OPU):
Why is the installation decision not made at the general meeting?
From 07/01/2012 according to law No. 261-FZ, a resource supply organization (MUP POVV) is obliged to install an operating system in houses. At the same time, the owners of the premises of the house have the right to make a decision at the general meeting of the owners of the premises of the house on the installation of the OPU, the choice of a contractor, the cost of installing the OPU, the procedure for paying for the installation of the OPU, obtaining technical specifications for the installation of the OPU in MUP POVV and submit this protocol of the general meeting to MUP POVV about the decision taken.
Why weren't the owners notified about the installation of the OPU?
MUE POVV in receipts for payment for cold water and water services places information on the commissioning of the operating facility and the volume of water released to the house in the billing month.
What documents confirm the installation of the OPU? Why were the owners not invited to sign the act of commissioning the operating facility?
The document confirming the installation of the OPU is the Commissioning Certificate of the OPU, signed by representatives of the resource supply organization (MUP POVV) and the housing organization serving the apartment building.
The housing organization serving the apartment building is a person authorized by the owners of the premises of the apartment building, so the owners are not invited to sign the act of commissioning the OPU.
Is there a contract for the installation of an operating room? What is the amount of installation of the OPU? Who will pay for this installation of the OPU?
The contract for the installation of the operating system is concluded by the person on whose initiative the installation of the operating unit is carried out.
The installation costs of the operating system include the cost of the metering device itself, the cost of the equipment included in the metering unit and the cost of installation work. The cost of installation of the operating system, depending on the brand and caliber of the metering device, is from 20,000 rubles. up to 50,000 rubles

Decree of the Committee for Tariffs and Prices of the Moscow Region dated 13.12.2014 No. 149-R “On setting tariffs for hot water for 2015” approved a two-component tariff for hot water on the basis of Decree of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2013 No. 406 “On state regulation of tariffs in in the field of water supply and sanitation. The procedure for calculating and paying utility bills is defined in the Rules for the Provision of Utility Services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354. Accordingly, the procedure for accruing payment for hot water has been changed. Now the fee for 1 cubic meter of hot water consists of two components:
The first- fee for 1 cubic meter of cold water.
Second- payment for thermal energy, which was spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water.
The component for cold water is the volume of cold water (CWS) for the needs of hot water supply. In the presence of individual metering devices (meters), this component is determined - according to the readings of the hot water metering device (DHW), in the absence of an individual metering device - according to the standard, i.e. 3.5 cubic meters per 1 person. per month.
From January 01, 2015, residents of apartment buildings in the city of Lyubertsy, which are equipped with common house meters, are charged for hot water at a two-component tariff: a cold water component for DHW and a thermal energy component for DHW.
Payment for hot water for residents of the house should also be made at a two-component tariff. The house is equipped with common house DHW meters. Payment for hot water from 01.07.2015 should be charged according to the current two-component tariff: the cold water component for hot water supply (at the rate of 33.28 rubles/m3) and the thermal energy (TE) component for hot water supply at the rate of 2141.46 rubles ./Gcal.
In receipts for payment for housing and communal services from July 01, 2015, “Hot water supply” is indicated in two lines:
Cold water for hot water - the volume of cold water (HWS) for the needs of hot water supply;
TE for DHW - thermal energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water.
The readings of the common house metering device - the amount of hot water for the current month and the amount of heat energy consumed in the current month for circulation and heating of the specified amount of water are given on the back of the receipt, for example, the following:
1089.079 cu. m. - FV for hot water supply (physical water for hot water supply);
110.732 Gcal. - TE for GVS (thermal energy for hot water supply).
The actual amount of heat energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water for a house is determined based on the total amount of heat energy to the total amount of hot water for the current month, which is:
= FC for DHW / FI for DHW = 110.732 Gcal. / 1089.079 cu. m. = 0.1017 Gcal / m3
then, the actual cost of thermal energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of water in the current month will be:
0.1017 Gcal/cu.m x RUB 2141.46 for 1 Gcal. = 217.79 rubles.
Please note that the amount of heat energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water in each billing month may differ, because is a calculated value and depends on the amount (volume) of hot water consumed by the house in the current month and the amount of thermal energy spent on circulation and heating of this volume. Monthly, these readings are taken from the general house heat energy meter and transferred to the heat supply organization and are simultaneously recorded on the back of the receipt for each current month.
The chairman of the council of the house number 26 on the street addressed to the editorial office of our newspaper. Volodarsky Gennady Panfilovich Rezinkin and spoke about his attempt to understand the issue of installing and paying for a common house heat meter.
In January 2014, the owners of apartments in this multi-apartment building received receipts for housing and communal services, where, among other services payable, the “Installation of a thermal power supply unit” was separately indicated. The question arose: why such a sum?
In February 2014, a representative of the initiative group G.P. Rezinkin, on behalf of the residents of the house, for the first time turned to MUP "Heat Networks" for clarification on the cost of installing a meter. There he was refused, explaining that this information is confidential and not subject to disclosure.
G.P. Rezinkin went to court. The Gatchina City Court, in a claim to issue an act of acceptance of the operating installation and an estimate for the installation of the operating installation G.P. He refused Rezinkin, explaining that the plaintiff had the right to “demand from the Municipal Unitary Enterprise Heating Networks of Gatchina a written response with supporting documents containing information on the cost of the purchased OPU, its delivery, installation and commissioning, which the defendant has no right to refuse to provide” . What G.P. Rezinkin and was done. However, "Thermal networks" of Gatchina refused to give such information.
Meanwhile G.P. Rezinkin was elected chairman of the council of house number 26, after which he just did not apply, but there was no clarity. The distrust of the residents, who did not receive an answer to a seemingly simple question, began to grow, and with it the number of questions. “Perhaps, apartment owners pay in full for both the OPU itself and its installation, and now, deprived of the right to know and understand what is happening, to control how readings are taken, they pay for the general building costs of thermal energy and the cost of maintaining the OPU also for the tenants of municipal apartments and tenants non-residential premises. Where is justice?” Gennady Panfilovich is indignant.
A year later, the chairman of the council of the house decided to make the case public and involve the media. Our editors have taken it upon themselves to help sort it out. Having collected the correspondence of G.P. Rezinkin with utilities and court records, we turned to MUP "Heat Networks" in Gatchina.
Oksana Nikolaevna Zolotova, head of the legal department of MUP "Heat Networks" in Gatchina, answers the questions of our reader, posed in his letter to the editor.
- Why was the OPU put up without the consent of the owners?
The Federal Law of November 23, 2009 No. 261-FZ "On Energy Saving and Increasing Energy Efficiency" establishes the obligation of owners of residential and non-residential premises of an apartment building (MKD) to ensure the installation and commissioning of common house metering devices (OPU) of cold and hot water, thermal and electric energy, natural gas. In the event that the owners of the premises in an apartment building have not ensured the installation of the OPU before July 1, 2012, such installation is carried out by the resource supply organization. The federal law gave tenants a rather long period of time - three years, during which time it was possible to install a metering device on their own, choosing both a supplier and a contractor for the work, the tenants did not use this right. Consequently, there is an obligation for the resource supplying organization to install a common house (collective) meter in an apartment building.
- On what basis were invoices issued to the owners of the premises?
In the event that before January 1, 2013 the owners of the premises did not install the OPU themselves, and at the same time the common house meter was installed by the resource supply organization (based on Part 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Energy Saving"), the owners are obliged (according to clause 38.1 of Rules No. 491) pay the costs of installing such a meter on the basis of invoices. This obligation is established by law, we did not "invent" anything on our own. Obeying only federal law and given that the tenants do not have sufficient legal literacy, we do not refuse to explain to anyone, if a person makes contact and adequately perceives his duties as an owner, we are always ready for a dialogue. The law clearly spells out the procedure in case of disagreement of the owner with certain provisions.
- And if the owner disagrees with the bill?
In case of disagreement, the owner of the premises has the right to contact the organization that installed such a meter and issued an invoice, with disagreements. That is, to substantiate his calculations and prove why he believes that the bill was billed unreasonably. If in this case the disagreements are not resolved, the right to appeal against the invoice in court.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, in accordance with paragraph 12 of Article 13 of Federal Law No. 261, in the event of a refusal to pay expenses on a voluntary basis, a person who has not fulfilled the obligation to equip these facilities with metering devices for used energy resources within the prescribed period must also pay expenses incurred by these organizations in connection with the need for enforcement. Thus, the owners, regardless of their desire, are obliged to bear the costs of installing and maintaining the OPU, executing the federal law.
The owner has the right to know why he pays so much. Where can I get information to check the calculations?
Control over the actions of MUP "Heating Networks" of Gatchina is carried out in full by specialized bodies authorized to conduct inspections of the work of resource supplying organizations. Municipal Unitary Enterprise "Heating Networks" of Gatchina held a tender for the right to conclude a loan agreement for the purchase of heating equipment. All information is publicly available on the Internet on the official website of public procurement: zakupki.gov.ru. In order to find the information of interest, just go to the site and type the name of the organization, or its TIN.
Invoices for the installation costs of the PSU are issued with an indication of the total cost of installing such a meter and the share of costs borne by the owner of the premises (based on its size). To check the calculations, information on the area of premises in a particular apartment building can be found in the technical passport of the apartment building. Each house should have this document, but if it is not available, a technical passport can be ordered from an organization that conducts an inventory of objects, for example, the BTI of Gatchina.
In the house number 26 on the street. Volodarsky, the owners are the owners of apartments and the municipality, which owns residential and non-residential premises. The municipality's share of expenses for rented and non-residential (shop) rented premises was paid in September 2013. Citizens-owners of residential premises in this house pay for the installation of thermal energy control systems from January 1, 2014.
- So, the municipality paid off immediately, and the citizens were given an installment plan?
Yes. Part 12 of Article 13 of Law No. 261-FZ contains the possibility of providing citizens-owners of premises in apartment buildings with installment payment for the costs of the RSO for the installation of metering devices. Payment is made in equal installments over five years, starting from the date of installation of the GTC, provided that citizens do not express their intention to pay such costs in a lump sum or with a shorter installment period.
Taking into account the requirements of the law on the provision of installments only to citizens-owners of premises, RSO issues invoices for the payment of the full amount of expenses for the installation of metering devices to owners of premises - legal entities (including local governments) without any installment payment.
- How are the readings of the common house metering device taken?
Calculation of the value and cost of consumed MKD No. 26 on the street. Volodarsky thermal energy for residential and non-residential premises is produced according to the indications of the operating permit from January 1, 2014. Readings are taken on the 20th day of each month remotely via modem connection.
The amount of thermal energy, on the basis of which the payment to owners and tenants of residential premises for heat supply services is calculated, is reduced by the amount of thermal energy consumed by non-residential premises, calculated in proportion to the area of \u200b\u200bthese premises (220 m2). The calculation of the amount of payment for a citizen is made in the settlement and cash center of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise Housing and Public Utilities of Gatchina. With the tenant of non-residential premises located in the specified MKD, a direct contract for the supply of thermal energy was concluded.
Thus, all owners of residential premises pay only their share of the costs both for the installation and maintenance of the heating system, and for heat supply services.
Calculation of the fee for the installation of the OPU and its maintenance for house No. 26 on the street. Volodarsky:
The cost of installing a common house metering device, taking into account installments - 482,024 rubles 40 kopecks;
The cost of servicing the operating system per month is 2,823 rubles 74 kopecks;
The total area of residential and non-residential premises is 2,469.6 sq.m.
Settlement for the installation of the GTC: 482024, 4/2469, 6/60 months. = 3 rub. 25 kop. from 1 sq. m.
Plus calculation of the cost of service: 2,823, 74/2,469, 6 = 1 rub. 14 kop.
In total, homeowners pay per month: 3, 25 + 1, 14 = 4 rubles. 39 kopecks from 1 sq. m.
