Every homeowner must know how to calculate hot water for subsequent payment. The fact is that the provision of this service occurs in quantitative terms, and if the hot water consumption is calculated incorrectly, this can result in a fairly large amount of overpayment or debt.

In addition, if, as a result of such an error, you do not pay for the hot water supplied to you on time, this may lead to its shutdown.

If you do not pay for the hot water supplied to you on time, this may lead to its shutdown

Payment for services for the supply of hot water to the population is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 6, 2011 No. 354. According to it, it must include 2 components:

1. Providing hot water supply directly to residential or non-residential premises.
2. Provision of hot water supply for general house needs or for land plot, as well as the auxiliary buildings located on it.

Typically, centralized hot water supply systems are used in cities to supply such water to apartments, communal apartments and apartment rooms residential buildings. Tariffs for hot water are set by the Federal Tariff Service, as well as its divisions in the regions, so if you don’t know how to calculate the tariff for hot water, you can go to the website of this body. In addition, your local resource supply organization can provide you with an example of such a calculation.

Tariffs for hot water are set by the Federal Tariff Service

In any case, it is worth knowing that the formula for calculating the cost of hot water includes not only the tariff itself, but also other indicators. For example, if your communal organization has established a two-part tariff, then you will pay:

• payment for the consumption of one cubic meter of hot water;
• payment for the maintenance of the hot water supply system based on one gigocalorie.

With a one-component tariff, only consumed cubic meters are paid, which includes expenses for other needs. In addition, the approved methodology, which answers the question of how to calculate and how much a cube of hot water costs, also takes into account what category of consumers you belong to. It could be industry budgetary institutions or population.

A common house hot water meter is used, which is installed on the basis of a decision of the general meeting of owners of residential premises

If for other categories of consumers all issues regarding utility payments are resolved by special employees on staff legal entity, then the population calculates and pays for hot water consumption independently. At the same time, he is also entrusted with the obligation to pay expenses for general household needs. For this purpose, a common house hot water meter is used, which is installed on the basis of a decision of the general meeting of owners of residential premises.

A separate scheme is used to calculate hot water supply if an individual boiler room is installed in the house. So, in the bills there is no line “hot water supply”, and instead there are 2 positions: water heating and cold water supply for hot water supply. This subtlety will need to be taken into account by all homeowners in such houses.

Payment for hot water for the population

• according to the counter;
• according to the general standard.

The first option is the most profitable for the owner of a residential premises, since it allows him to pay only for the volume of hot water that he actually consumed. At the same time, every month he will need to transfer meter readings to the local resource supply company. It is usually called “Vodokanal” or “Teploenergo” and is municipally owned.

Payment for hot water by meter

In the second case, you have to pay based on the general standard established by the Government, taking into account the number of residents registered in a particular living space. Typically, the standard is applied when the apartment does not have a meter installed or it is broken. At the same time, as a measure to encourage the population to install metering devices, the Government has been gradually increasing the standards by 1.6 times by 2017 since 2015.

As for specific figures, for 2016 in Moscow the standard for hot water consumption is 166 liters per day per person. It may be different in other regions. In any case, it will be more profitable to pay using a meter, so it makes sense to install it in the premises as early as possible.

Important! In addition to the standard and meter readings, the cost of hot water is also calculated taking into account the readings of a common house meter.

You can find out how to calculate one for hot water by contacting the company that provides management services for your apartment building. Generally speaking, the readings of the general house meter are subtracted from the readings apartment meters, and the resulting balance, based on a special formula, is divided among all residents registered in the house.

Hot water payment receipts

Directly residents apartment buildings Usually they don’t do calculations alone. Since this is the responsibility of the local housing department or homeowners association, for them there is a special line in the payment receipt with this indicator, which will need to be paid as part of the general receipt. If the amount in your opinion is too high, this may be the reason for your request to recalculate it. This must be done by the management company within ten days. If this does not happen, you have the right to appeal the company’s actions to the Housing Inspectorate or court.

It is also worth keeping in mind that modern technologies allow you to pay utility bills remotely or on a special schedule. This will be especially convenient if you leave your region of residence for some time or are very busy. To make payments according to the schedule, you will need to write a statement to your local bank branch about this or set it up accordingly Personal Area on your bank's website.

In any case, try to pay the cost of hot water in full and on time

Further required amounts payments will be debited from your account at right time, which will allow you not to become a debtor for utility bills. In any case, try to pay the cost of hot water in full and on time.

Transmission of meter readings

As you already understood, the easiest way to calculate hot water consumption is to take readings from a meter installed in a residential area. This procedure must be carried out once a month. To do this, you will need to write off the first 5 digits of the readings from the meter.

Calculation of hot water consumption

Based on them, you can independently calculate your hot water consumption. To do this, subtract the new readings from last month’s readings. The difference you receive will be your monthly expense.

If you are wondering how to calculate hot water from a receipt, then you can do this by multiplying the readings obtained using a meter by the tariff in force in your region. This calculation may be useful to you when you have questions about the numbers indicated in payment receipt. With complaints about this, you often contact the resource supply company, where you are required to recalculate the hot water you consumed.

Unscheduled water meter check

After you take the hot water meter readings, they will need to be transferred to the water supply organization. This can be done in several ways, for example:

• using the website of such an organization or management company;
• using special forms;
• at the office of the organization that supplies you with burning water.

After transmitting the readings from your individual hot water meter, you will only have to wait for a receipt for payment to arrive. If you have figured out how to calculate hot water before this time, you can double-check the amount billed to you to avoid mistakes. At the same time, if several water meters are installed in your apartment, you will have to transmit readings from all of them.

By the way, you will need not only knowledge of how to calculate hot water, but also how to check the accuracy of the meter reading. To do this, record the readings of the three red numbers on its scale, after which approximately 30 liters of water are drained from the tap using a ten-liter bucket. If the meter shows a higher or lower number, this may be a sign that the water meter requires an unscheduled check.

Internet banking for paying for hot water

After an invoice is issued to you based on the testimony you provided, you can pay it in several ways, for example, at Russian Post, through Internet banking, and also using an ATM. If you delay payment for more than 3 months, you may be charged a penalty and your hot water may be turned off. After six months, utility companies will be able to go to court to evict you from the premises you occupy.

Hot water supply (DHW) is a 24-hour supply to the consumer hot water of proper quality, supplied to required volumes via the connected network to the residential premises.

Requirements (standards) for the quality of hot water are determined by Russian Government Decree No. 354:

• The temperature of hot water at the point of analysis must be at least 60 degrees. (for open centralized heating systems, not less than 50 degrees; for closed systems, not more than 75 degrees)
• The total hot water shutdown time is 8 hours (total) for 1 month
• The total time of DHW shutdown is 4 hours at a time, in case of an accident on a dead-end main - 24 hours.
• The maximum period for carrying out preventive work in summer season– 14 days
• The composition of the water must comply sanitary standards SanPiN 2.1.4.2496-09
• The permissible deviation in the temperature of hot water at the point of water collection at night (from 0.00 to 5.00 hours) is no more than 5 °C
• Permissible deviation of hot water temperature at the point of water intake in daytime(from 5.00 to 00.00 hours) - no more than 3 °C
• Pressure in the hot water supply system at the point of analysis - from 0.03 MPa (0.3 kgf/sq. cm) to 0.45 MPa (4.5 kgf/sq. cm)

For every 3 °C deviation from permissible deviations temperature of hot water, the amount of payment for utility services for the billing period in which the specified deviation occurred is reduced by 0.1 percent of the payment amount. For each hour of supply of hot water, the temperature of which at the point of collection is below 40 °C, in total during the billing period, payment for consumed water is made at the tariff for cold water.

If the pressure differs from the established one by no more than 25 percent, the amount of payment for utility services for the specified billing period is reduced by 0.1 percent of the payment amount.
If the pressure differs from the established one by more than 25 percent, the amount of payment for utility services is reduced by the amount of the fee calculated in total for each day the utility service is provided poor quality.

Types of DHW systems:

• Central. Water is heated at thermal substations (CHS) and from them, using pipelines, it is supplied to consumers.
• Autonomous. To achieve the necessary temperature regime install special heating devices- boilers, storage boilers or geysers. This type of DHW organization is intended for small area premises - apartments or houses.

Designations (decoding) in housing and communal services receipts:

• DHW KPU— hot water is metered using an apartment meter
• DHW DPU— hot water is metered using a common household meter
• ODPU DHW- general household hot water meter

Calculation of the amount of payment for utility services for hot water supply is carried out according to:

• General house metering devices and depends on the number of residents registered in the apartment
• Apartment metering devices (hot water meters)

Dear Subscribers!

Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved Resolution Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 dated 05/06/2011 (hereinafter Rules) the service provider is obliged to apply a two-part tariff for hot water, established in the manner prescribed by law.

Due to the fact that the issue of calculating and charging for the hot water supply service is of great social importance, LLC "Settlement Kupavino Center" has developed these clarifications regarding the procedure for calculating the amount of payment for hot water.

This section discusses only the basic concepts and general cases of calculations used in the EPD.
The most complex calculations and formulas used have been simplified to make them easier to understand.
For a more in-depth study of all the features when calculating the cost of utility services, you need to contact the relevant regulations: Housing Code of the Russian Federation, Water Code of the Russian Federation, Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354, Rules for establishing and determining standards for the consumption of utility services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 23, 2006 No. 306, etc.

Fee for DHW by component " coolant"should be determined in accordance with the calculation formulas for determining the amount of payment for hot water given in Appendix No. 2 to the Rules in accordance with paragraphs 42, 43, 44 of the Rules.

Fee for DHW by component " thermal energy» to be determined based on the consumption of thermal energy used to heat hot water, determined by calculated value, an approved heat supply organization.

General formula calculation

To calculate the cost of “water supply”* and “sewage” services, the following formula is used:

“The cost of a service is equal to the product of the volume of service consumed during the billing period and the tariff for this service.”

Formula 1:P=V*T, Where

P- service cost,

V- volume of service consumed during the billing period.

T- tariff for this type services, for water - price per 1 m3.

* - for the “hot water supply” service, presented in the form of two components, a different calculation method is used.

Cold water supply

1. If the living space equipped individual metering devices (IMU) cold water, then the volume of service for the billing period is calculated based on the readings of metering devices, subject to their timely transfer to the settlement center.

2. If the living space not equipped IPU or metering devices do not comply with the requirements of the law, then the volume of service is calculated based on the standards for this service:

Formula 2: V cold water = V cold water/norm * N run, Where

V hvs- volume of “cold water supply” service consumed during the billing period,

V hvs/norm - standard for the “cold water supply” service,

N lived- the number of people living in the residential premises.

Regardless of the method for determining the volume, the cost of the “cold water supply” service is determined according to Formula 1.

Hot water supply

The “hot water supply” service, divided into two components, is presented in the EPD in the form of separate lines, since each component is calculated separately.

Service “Hot water supply (carrier)”.

The carrier in the “hot water supply” service is cold water, therefore the volume of the carrier and its cost is calculated in the same way as the “cold water supply” service (see section “Cold water supply”).

The tariff for the “hot water supply (carrier)” service always coincides with the tariff for the “cold water supply” service.

Service “Hot water supply (energy)”.

Heating water requires thermal energy, which is measured in gigacalories (Gcal). The amount of thermal energy consumed to heat water is calculated by the formula:

Formula 4: Q p = V hot water/n * q, Where

Q p- thermal energy consumed to heat cold water;

V hot water/n- the volume of cold water (carrier) consumed during the billing period for the purposes of hot water supply;

q - specific consumption thermal energy, showing how much energy is spent heating 1 cubic meter. meter of water. It is approved like other utility standards.

The cost of the “hot water supply (energy)” service is calculated using the formula:

Formula 5: P hot water/e = Q p * T te, Where

P hot water/e- cost of the “hot water supply (energy)” service;

Q p- thermal energy consumed to heat cold water (carrier);

T te- tariff for the service component “hot water supply (energy)”. The price for each supplier is approved by the Moscow Regional Committee.

EXAMPLE:

An apartment building with a common building meter installed ( Staraya Kupavna, st. Matrosova, house 14)

The house has a centralized hot water supply system (closed system)

A resident who has individual metering devices consumed for the billing month 3 cubic meters of cold water and 3 cubic meters of hot water.

The common house meter has readings for the billing month 727,12 cubic meters

(difference in readings: as of 31.07 - 14437.30 cubic meters, as of 30.06 - 13710.18 cubic meters)

The tariff for the service "Cold water supply for domestic hot water" is 34,98 rub/cub.m ( component for heathost)

The tariff for the service "Water heating for hot water supply" is 1794,17 rub/Gcal ( component for heate energy)

The specific thermal energy consumption is 0,048 (Approved by the Decision of the Council of Deputies of the Municipal Municipal Enterprise Staraya Kupavna dated November 17, 2009.

No. 2/4pa-2009)

SERVICE COST CALCULATION

Coolant: P =V * T = 34,98 rub/cub.m * 3 cubic meters = RUB 104.94. (used Formula No. 1)

Thermal energy: R= V hot water/n * q * T = 3 cubic meters * 0,048 * 1794,17 rub/Gcal = RUB 258.36(used Formula No. 5 )

In this case, the volume of the service Water heating for DHW (Individual consumption) in the EPD will accordingly be

0,144 Gcal (V hot water/n * q = 3 cubic meters * 0,048 = 0,144)

In order to regulate the procedure for applying two-component tariffs for hot water, amendments were made to the RF PP dated 05/06/2011 No. 354 and RF PP dated 05/23/2006 No. 306. According to the amendments made when establishing two-component tariffs for hot water supply (hereinafter referred to as DHW) “ the amount of payment for the hot water supply utility service is calculated based on the sum of the cost of the component for cold water intended for heating in order to provide the hot water supply utility service, and the cost of the component for thermal energy used to heat cold water for the purpose of providing public hot water supply services"(paragraph 6 of paragraph 38 of Rules 354), while the authorized body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation " establishes a standard for the consumption of thermal energy used to heat cold water to provide public hot water supply services» (paragraph 32(1) of Rule 306). And if the procedure for calculating the cost of hot water supply between the consumer and the utility service provider (hereinafter referred to as the ICU) was resolved (although to this day there are a huge number of cases of its violation), then when calculating between the ICU and the resource supply organization (hereinafter referred to as the RSO), problems arose and continue to arise disputes, especially in cases of equipping houses with common house metering devices that determine how much DHW consumption, and the amount of heat energy in the composition of consumed hot water.

Heat in DHW: volume of consumption and cost to pay

If we consider hot water consumption in MKD premises, then it is easy to establish cases in which, with the same volume of hot water consumption, the heat consumption in the composition of this water will be different. Such cases include the consumption of “cooled” hot water in the house by those residents who wake up earlier in the morning or go to bed later in the evening in the absence of circulation in the house. Obviously, the water will be hotter during long-term one-time consumption compared to many short-term inclusions, even if the total volume of short-term inclusions is equal to the volume of long-term one-time consumption. During the inter-heating period, there is a significant difference in the temperature of hot water in houses of the same type (for which the same consumption standards are established) depending on the length of the hot water supply network from these houses to the RSO (distance of the apartment building from the boiler room) - residents of houses connected to the “end” segments of heating networks usually use less hot water than houses connected to “transit” pipelines of the same networks.

Probably to create some kind of average unified system calculation The Government of the Russian Federation decided to approve standards for heat energy consumption for heating hot water supply and gave the right to establish such standards to constituent entities of the Russian Federation authorized by. This eliminated the possibility of determining different prices for hot water (in rubles per cubic meter), for example, for residents various apartments one and the same apartment building. It should be noted that the different cost of hot water (in rubles per cubic meter) for residents of one house in different months- after all, the calculation of the cost of a cubic meter of hot water consumed by the consumer must be based on the cost of the component for cold water, the tariff for which is approved by the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and the cost of the component for thermal energy, the tariff for which and the volume for each unit of water (heat standard for heating hot water supply ) is also approved by the subject of the Russian Federation. Thus, the cost of one cubic meter of hot water does not depend in any way on real consumption heat for heating this water (measured or calculated in some way), but is calculated based only on those parameters that are approved by the state authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

If we talk about the amount of heat energy consumed for the purpose of hot water supply by the entire apartment building (hereinafter - MKD), then, of course, this amount can be determined by such a common house metering device (hereinafter - OPU), which measures not only the consumption of hot water for the needs of hot water supply, but and the heat content of this water. The position of the overwhelming majority of RSO, which is that the heat supplied to the MKD is subject to payment in full, is reasonable and logical. No less logical is to determine the amount of heat energy in the DHW consumed by the entire apartment building, according to the control unit, which allows such an amount to be measured. At the same time, in the opinion of these RSOs, there is no need to apply the standard for the consumption of thermal energy used to heat cold water to provide public services for hot water supply, approved by the state authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. If the common house DHW meter does not have a function for measuring the amount of heat (and even more so if there is no control unit at all), the same RSOs consider the use of heat standards for heating DHW already necessary.

The position, of course, is not without logic, but the current legislation of the Russian Federation does not give the right to choose whether to use the heat standard for heating hot water in the calculations or not to use it. The rules on the use in calculations of the standard consumption of thermal energy used to heat cold water to provide public services for hot water supply are imperative and subject to unconditional execution. At the same time, the legislation of the Russian Federation simply does not contain any norms on the possibility of using in calculations the readings of the control unit, which determine the amount of heat energy in the composition of the hot water supply. Thus, the use of such OPU readings in calculations, although logical, is not based on the law, and therefore is illegal. At the same time, the use of heat standards for DHW heating in calculations is not a right provided for in individual cases (for example, the absence of a control unit, or the absence of a control unit function for measuring the heat content in DHW), but an obligation for any cases without exception.

From the above it follows that when calculating the cost of hot water supply (both between the consumer and the provider of the hot water supply service, and between the ICU and the distribution center), it is not the actual amount of heat energy consumed for heating water for the provision of public services for hot water supply, but the standard heat consumption for heating hot water supply .

What did the court find?

These circumstances were studied by the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region, and then - on appeal - by the 10th Arbitration Court of Appeal, when considering the case on the claim of Orekhovo-Zuevskaya Heating Network LLC against the Avtoproezd HOA (case No. A41-18008/16) for recovery debts on payment for thermal energy. As third parties, the Main Directorate of the Moscow Region “State Housing Inspectorate of the Moscow Region”, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Moscow Region were involved in the case.

In the Decision of December 12, 2016 in case No. A41-18008/16 The AS of the Moscow region indicated:

« Having directly, fully and objectively examined the evidence presented by the parties in support of the stated claims and objections, the court came to the following conclusion.

As established by the court, on September 26, 2012, Heat Supply Agreement No. 240 was concluded between the plaintiff and the defendant, according to which the plaintiff is the energy supply organization, the defendant is the subscriber.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 539 of the Civil Code Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) under an energy supply agreement, the energy supply organization undertakes to supply energy to the subscriber (consumer) through the connected network, and the subscriber undertakes to pay for the received energy...

Based on Article 544 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, payment for energy is made for the amount of energy actually received by the subscriber in accordance with energy metering data, unless otherwise provided by law, other legal acts or agreement of the parties. The procedure for payments for energy is determined by law, other legal acts or agreement of the parties.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 157 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Housing Code of the Russian Federation), the amount of payment for utilities is calculated based on the volume of consumed utilities, determined by the readings of metering devices, and in their absence, based on the standards for the consumption of utilities approved by government authorities subjects of the Russian Federation in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation, at tariffs established by state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the manner established by federal law.

Part 5 of Article 9 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2010 No. 190-FZ “On Heat Supply” establishes that tariffs for hot water in open systems heat supply (hot water supply) are set in the form of two-component tariffs using a component for coolant and a component for thermal energy.

According to Part 9 of Article 32 of the Federal Law of December 7, 2011. No. 416-FZ “On Water Supply and Sanitation”, tariffs in the field of hot water supply can be set in the form of two-component tariffs using a component for cold water and a component for thermal energy in the manner determined by the pricing principles in the field of water supply and sanitation approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Clause 88 of the Basic Principles of Pricing in the Sphere of Water Supply and Sanitation, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2013 No. 406, stipulates that tariff regulatory authorities establish a two-component tariff for hot water in closed system hot water supply, consisting of a cold water component and a thermal energy component.

Thus, the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of price (tariff) regulation make decisions on establishing two-component tariffs for hot water in accordance with the norms of current legislation.

In order to regulate the procedure for applying two-component tariffs for hot water, by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2015 No. 129 (came into force on February 28, 2015), changes were made to the Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011. No. 354 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 354), and the Rules for establishing and determining standards for the consumption of utility services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 23, 2006 No. 306 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 306).

Clause 38 of Rules No. 354 provides that in the case of establishing two-component tariffs for hot water, the amount of payment for the hot water supply utility service is calculated based on the sum of the cost of the component for cold water intended for heating in order to provide the hot water supply utility service, and the cost of the component for thermal energy used to heat cold water for the purpose of providing public hot water supply services.

In accordance with paragraph 42 of Rules No. 354, in the case of establishing two-component tariffs for hot water, the amount of payment for the hot water supply utility service provided to the consumer for the billing period in a residential premises equipped with an individual or common (apartment) meter is determined in accordance with formula 23 Appendix No. 2 to Rules No. 354 based on the readings of hot water meters and the standard consumption of thermal energy used to heat water, and in the absence of such a meter - based on the standard for hot water consumption and the standard for the consumption of thermal energy used to heat water.

At the same time, Rules No. 354 do not provide for the use of thermal energy as a utility service, which corresponds to the provisions of Part 4 of Article 154 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

Taking into account the above, Rules No. 354 provide for the distribution of thermal energy used to heat cold water for the purpose of providing public services for hot water supply, within the framework of the standard for the consumption of thermal energy for heating water for the purpose of providing public services for hot water supply.

In this regard, the corresponding amendments made to Rule No. 306 provide that the standard for the consumption of public services for hot water supply is determined by establishing the standard for the consumption of hot water in residential premises and the standard for the consumption of thermal energy for heating water for the purposes of hot water supply.

Thus, according to paragraph 7 of Rules No. 306, when choosing a unit of measurement for consumption standards in relation to hot water supply (hot water), the following indicators are used:

in residential premises - cubic meters. meter of cold water per person and Gcal for heating 1 cubic meter. meter of cold water or cubic. meter of hot water per person;

for general house needs - cubic meters. meter of cold water and Gcal for heating 1 cubic meter. meter of cold water per 1 sq. meter of total area of ​​the premises included in the common property in an apartment building, or cube. meter of hot water per 1 sq. meter of total area of ​​premises included in the common property in an apartment building.

This principle ensures fair distribution of thermal energy for heating a cubic meter of water among all consumers, depending on the volume of hot water consumption. In this regard, the procedure for determining the amount of payment for utility services for hot water supply, established by the Rules No. 354, fully complies with the requirements of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and was established taking into account the exclusion of the occurrence of unfair financial burden on citizens.

Thus, regardless of the presence of a collective (common house) heat energy meter in the hot water supply system of an apartment building, regardless of the heat supply (hot water supply) system (open or closed), and also regardless of the season (heating or non-heating), the amount of heat The energy used to heat water is determined according to the standards established in the manner prescribed by law for the consumption of thermal energy to heat water for the purposes of hot water supply.

Accordingly, if there are standards for the consumption of thermal energy for heating hot water, the readings of metering devices that measure the thermal energy used for hot water supply are not taken into account either in settlements with consumers or in settlements with resource supply organizations.

In the case under consideration, Rules No. 354 do not provide for any other procedure for determining the amount of payment for utility services for hot water supply.

Civil rights and obligations of a management organization or a homeowners’ association or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative (hereinafter referred to as the partnership, cooperative) to make payments for resources necessary for the provision of utility services arise from resource supply agreements concluded in the manner provided for by the Rules, mandatory when a management organization or a homeowners' association or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative enters into contracts with resource supply organizations approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2012 No. 124 (hereinafter referred to as Decree No. 124, Rules No. 124).

According to subparagraphs “d”, “e” of paragraph 17 of Rules No. 124, the procedure for determining the volumes of supplied communal resource, the procedure for paying for a utility resource are essential conditions resource supply agreements.

At the same time, in conjunction with the requirements of Rules No. 124, when concluding a resource supply agreement, the Requirements for making payments for resources necessary for the provision of utility services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 28, 2012 No. 253 (hereinafter referred to as the Requirements), are also subject to application.

Clause 4 of the Requirements establishes that funds received by the contractor from consumers to pay for utility services are subject to transfer in favor of resource supply organizations.

In this case, paragraph 5 of the Requirements stipulates that the amount of payment of the utility service provider due for transfer in favor of the resource supplying organization supplying specific type resource, is determined depending on the consumer’s payment for the corresponding utility service in full, indicated in the payment document, or in case of partial payment, which fully corresponds with the above norms of Rule No. 124.

Based on the above, the amount of payment by the utility service provider in favor of the resource supply organization is subject to determination taking into account the quantity Money received from consumers of utility services, as well as taking into account the volume of utility resources in the event that the resource supplying organization supplies a utility resource of inadequate quality or with interruptions exceeding the established duration.

In addition, management organizations (partnerships, cooperatives), being providers of utility services in an apartment building, purchase utility resources from resource-supplying organizations not for resale, but to provide the corresponding utility service to consumers and pay for the amount of utility resource consumed in such an apartment building from payments received from consumers for utility services.

In accordance with the Decision Supreme Court Russian Federation dated June 8, 2012 No. AKPI12-604, according to which, within the framework of Resolution No. 124, a management organization, partnership or cooperative is not an economic entity with independent economic interests different from the interests of residents as direct consumers of utility services. These organizations carry out activities to provide utility services on the basis of a management agreement for an apartment building and pay for the volume of utility resources supplied under the resource supply agreement only from received consumer payments. In this situation, the amount of payment for a utility resource under a resource supply agreement must be equal to the amount of payment for a utility service paid by all consumers of utility services in accordance with the Rules for their provision.

Taking into account the above, regardless of the agreement, the parties are obliged to follow the mandatory rules that govern the procedure for payment for utility services provided.

According to paragraphs 10, 11 of part 1 of article 4 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, relations regarding the provision of utility services, payment for residential premises and utilities are regulated by housing legislation.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, housing relations related, including the use engineering equipment, provision of utility services, payment of fees for utility services, the relevant legislation is applied, taking into account the requirements established by the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

Taking into account the above, when concluding a resource supply agreement with persons managing an apartment building, and establishing conditions in it, including those regulating the procedure for terminating the supply of the corresponding type of communal resource to apartment house, you must first of all be guided by the norms of housing legislation, in particular Rules No. 124, taking into account the provisions of Rules No. 354.

Clause 5 of the Requirements establishes that the amount of the contractor's payment due for transfer in favor of the resource supplying organization supplying a specific type of resource is determined in the amount of the fee for a specific utility service indicated in the payment document, accrued to the consumer for a given billing period in accordance with Rules No. 354 (if payment by the consumer in full), and if the consumer does not pay in full - an amount proportional to the amount of payment for a specific utility service in total size payments specified in the payment document for work and services performed (provided) for a given billing period.

Based on this, the homeowners association is obliged to cover obligations to resource-supplying organizations for the volume of communal resources using funds received from consumers to pay for consumed utilities for hot water supply, that is, calculated based on the standard consumption of thermal energy used to heat water in order to provide public services for hot water supply.

Based on the above, the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region believes that the stated claims cannot be satisfied.

A few years ago, a new line appeared in receipts - water heating. Many people don't know what this service is and why they should pay for it. After all, previously payments were made only for warm water. Therefore, many people do not want to pay double fees. However, failure to deposit the money specified in this column results in debt. Since the amount for heating water in receipts is charged for a separate service.

What is heating is one of the frequently asked questions. The document contains 2 columns: thermal water supply (DHW) and heating.
What is hot water supply? It is hot water supply. But people don't understand why they have to deposit money twice. But in reality everything is different. DHW is not warm water, and the heat energy that is spent by housing and communal services to bring the liquid to desired temperature. Therefore, a double tariff was introduced for hot water supply and for consumed energy.

This tariff was set due to the fact that additional energy is expended to achieve normal temperature. Previously, fuel consumption was not taken into account when calculating utility payments, and money for this was charged only during the heating season.
Because of this, during this period, people’s expenses for heating and heating increased greatly. To prevent people's costs from increasing sharply, the Government divided the costs spent on achieving normal temperatures for the whole year.

Is it legal to charge for this?

When people see an additional column on a check, they wonder if this is legal. Some immediately contact company employees and clarify what the new column means and why they need to pay. And some simply don’t pay money for it.

However, such actions by consumers will be considered illegal, since the obligation to pay for water heating is specified in the articles of the Housing Code. Also, the legality of demanding payment for this is also indicated in

What if the equipment breaks down

If the heater breaks down, it will not increase or decrease during warming up. Therefore, it is important to quickly return it to service. In this situation, payers must immediately inform the management company employees about the breakdown. After receiving the application, the legal entity must immediately send specialists to restore the operation of the water heater.

Residents are also responsible for purchasing equipment.

How to determine the cost yourself

The cost of heating cold water is indicated in the receipt. It is quite simple to calculate the total amount for cold and hot liquids, but few people know how to calculate the amount of payment for additional services.

How is water heating calculated in the bill in summer and winter, and what data will you need to know:

1. You definitely need to know what tariff is set in the region.
2. What losses did the management company incur for transporting the resource?
3. How much energy was actually used to achieve the required temperature.
4. How much resource is spent each month?

Not all management organizations provide such data to residents of apartment buildings. However, any person can request this information from the HOA or management company, and employees of the legal entity are obliged to provide reliable information on payment for apartment supply services.

If you refuse to respond to the request, the applicant can file a complaint against the employees of the management company with Rospotrebnadzor. Having received all the necessary data, you can independently calculate and compare the heating bill indicated in the invoice.

Calculation of the total amount in 2018

Heating is the most expensive public service. This is due to the fact that special heating devices are used for heating, which consume a lot of energy.

To calculate the amount of payment for heating up hot water, it is necessary to determine how much resource was spent; to do this, you need to take readings from the meter or make a calculation for hot moisture, if there is none. The amount of remuneration for heating hot water is calculated using the following formula:

P gv = Vgv × Txv + (V v cr × Vi gv / ∑ Vi gv × Tv cr)

V gv - the volume of hot water consumed during the billing period (month) in an apartment or non-residential premises

Tхв – tariff for cold water

V v cr – the volume of thermal energy used during the billing period for heating cold water at independent production hot water management company

∑ Vi gw – the total volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in all

T v cr – tariff for thermal energy in the premises of the house.

The rate established in the region is multiplied by the heat standard required to heat a cubic meter of liquid. The resulting figure is multiplied by the amount of resource consumed.

For residents who do not have a meter, the calculation must be made as follows: the standard is divided by the number of residents in the house (apartment).
The resulting result will not be accurate, since the management company also adds costs spent on repairs, maintenance and ensuring the functionality of special devices.

Utility payments for heating hit homeowners' budgets hard. In connection with this, people do not want to contribute money for unknown reasons. And the appearance of a new column on paper for heating always raises questions, especially if you have to pay a considerable amount for the innovation. Heating recently appeared on the receipt, which is why many people still don’t understand why they have to pay for it separately, because they already pay for water supply.
