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 calculating payment for hot water has been changed. Now the fee for 1 cubic meter of hot water consists of two components:

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 1, 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 07/01/2015 should be charged at the current two-component tariff: the cold water component for hot water supply (at the rate of 33.28 rubles / m3) and the heat energy component (TE) for domestic hot water 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 indications of the common house metering device - the amount of hot water for the current month and the amount of thermal 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.

A new column has appeared in utility bills - hot water supply. It caused bewilderment among users, because not everyone understands what it is and why it is necessary to make payments on this line. There are also apartment owners who cross out the column. This entails the accumulation of debt, penalties, fines and even litigation. In order not to take things to extremes, you need to know what hot water is, hot water heat and why you need to pay for these indicators.

What is DHW in the receipt?

DHW - this designation stands for hot water supply. Its purpose is to provide apartments in apartment buildings and other residential premises with hot water at an acceptable temperature, but DHW is not hot water itself, but thermal energy that is spent on heating water to an acceptable temperature.

Experts divide hot water systems into two types:

• Central system. Here, water is heated at a thermal power plant. After that, it is distributed to the apartments of apartment buildings.
• Autonomous system. It is commonly used in private homes. The principle of operation is the same as in the central system, but here the water is heated in a boiler or boiler and is used only for the needs of one particular room.

Both systems have the same goal - to provide homeowners with hot water. In apartment buildings, a central system is usually used, but many users install a boiler in case the hot water is turned off, as has often happened in practice. An autonomous system is installed where it is not possible to connect to the central water supply. Only those consumers who use the central heating system pay for hot water supply. Users of an autonomous circuit pay for utility resources that are spent to heat the coolant - gas or electricity.

Important! Another in the column in the receipt associated with the hot water supply is the hot water supply at the ODN. Deciphering ODN - common house needs. This means that the DHW column on the ODN is the expenditure of energy for heating water used for the general needs of all residents of an apartment building.

These include:

• technical work that is performed before the heating season;
• pressure testing of the heating system, carried out after repair;
• repair work;
• heating of common areas.

hot water law

The DHW Law was adopted in 2013. Government Decree number 406 states that users of the central heating system are required to pay a two-component tariff. This suggests that the tariff was divided into two elements:

• thermal energy;
• cold water.

This is how hot water appeared in the receipt, that is, the thermal energy spent on heating cold water. Housing and communal services specialists came to the conclusion that risers and heated towel rails, which are connected to the hot water circuit, consume thermal energy to heat non-residential premises. Until 2013, this energy was not taken into account in receipts, and consumers used it for decades free of charge, since outside the heating season, air heating in the bathroom continued. Based on this, officials divided the tariff into two components, and now citizens have to pay for hot water.

Water heating equipment

The equipment that heats the liquid is a water heater. Its breakdown does not affect the tariff for hot water, but users must pay the cost of repairing equipment, since water heaters are part of the property of homeowners in an apartment building. The corresponding amount will appear on the receipt for the maintenance and repair of the property.

Important! This payment should be carefully considered by the owners of those apartments that do not use hot water, since an autonomous heating system is installed in their housing. Housing and communal services specialists do not always pay attention to this, simply distributing the amount for repairing a water heater among all citizens.

As a result, such apartment owners have to pay for equipment that they did not use. If you find an increase in the tariff for the repair and maintenance of property, you need to find out what it is connected with and contact the management company for recalculation if the payment is calculated incorrectly.

Component "thermal energy"

What is it - a component for a coolant? This is cold water heating. A metering device is not installed on the thermal energy component, unlike hot water. For this reason, it is impossible to calculate this indicator by the counter. How is the thermal energy for hot water calculated in this case? When calculating the payment, the following points are taken into account:

• the tariff that is set for hot water supply;
• expenses spent on the maintenance of the system;
• the cost of heat loss in the circuit;
• the costs spent on the transfer of the coolant.

Important! The calculation of the cost of hot water is carried out taking into account the volume of water used, which is measured in 1 cubic meter.

The energy charge is usually calculated based on the value of the readings of the common hot water meter and the amount of energy in the hot water. Energy is also calculated for each individual apartment. For this, water consumption data are taken, which are learned from the meter readings, and multiplied by the specific consumption of thermal energy. The received data is multiplied by the tariff. This figure is the required contribution, which is indicated in the receipt.

How to make an independent calculation

Not all users trust the settlement center, which is why the question arises of how to calculate the cost of hot water supply on your own. The resulting indicator is compared with the amount in the receipt and, based on this, a conclusion is made about the correctness of the charges.

To calculate the cost of hot water, you need to know the tariff for thermal energy. The amount is also affected by the presence or absence of a meter. If it is, then the readings are taken from the counter. In the absence of a meter, the standard for the consumption of thermal energy used to heat water is taken. Such a standard indicator is set by an energy-saving organization.

If an energy consumption meter is installed in a multi-storey building and the housing has a hot water meter, then the amount for hot water supply is calculated based on the data of general house accounting and the subsequent proportional distribution of the coolant among apartments. In the absence of a meter, the rate of energy consumption per 1 cubic meter of water and the readings of individual meters are taken.

Complaint due to incorrect invoice calculation

If, after self-calculation of the amount of contributions for hot water supply, a difference is revealed, it is necessary to contact the management company for clarification. If the employees of the organization refuse to give explanations on this matter, it is necessary to submit a written claim. Her company employees have no right to ignore. A response must be received within 13 business days.

Important! If no response was received or it is not clear from it why such a situation arose, then the citizen has the right to file a claim with the prosecutor's office or a statement of claim in court. The court will consider the case and make an appropriate objective decision. You can also contact the organizations that control the activities of the management company. Here the complaint of the subscriber will be considered and an appropriate decision will be made.

Electricity used for water heating is not a free service. The fee for it is charged on the basis of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Each citizen can independently calculate the amount of this payment and compare the received data with the amount in the receipt. In the event of an inaccuracy, please contact the management company. In this case, the difference will be made up if the error is acknowledged.

Another scam VK comfort

Preparation of hot water using in-house engineering systems (ITP) of an apartment building (in the absence of centralized preparation of hot water in the MKD).
The amount of payment for hot water supply (DHW) is calculated based on the readings of house meters and the corresponding tariffs for cold water and consumed Gcal used for preparing hot water. At the same time, the costs of maintaining and repairing in-house engineering systems and electricity used for preparing hot water are included in the fee for maintaining and repairing a dwelling.

Individual heating point of our house (ITP)

Calculation for heating and hot water prepared in an apartment building on the basis of the RF GD dated 06.05.2011 No. 354

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 the Rules. For the convenience of typing in a text editor, the formulas used are slightly modified and specified in comparison with their writing in the Rules, which does not change their meaning in any way.

For an unambiguous understanding: in accordance with paragraph 2 of the Rules, “non-residential premises in an apartment building” is a room in an apartment building that is not residential premises and common property of the owners of premises in an apartment building. For example, a shop, a sewing studio, an office space of an organization, etc. The calculation of fees for such premises, as a rule, is similar to the calculation for residential premises (apartments). In case of differences in the calculations, they will be discussed separately.

Calculation and distribution of fees in accordance with clause 50 of the Rules between consumers living in a room (rooms) of communal apartments of MKD is carried out according to formulas 7, 8, 16, 19 and 21 of Appendix No. 2 to the Rules and in this case will not be considered.

I carry out the description of the calculations using the example of my own apartment building (hereinafter - MKD), which is equipped with the following metering devices:

1) collective (common house) installed in the heating point of the MKD (hereinafter - ODPU):

A) to determine the total volume (quantity) of thermal energy used for the utility service "heating" and heating water for the utility service "hot water supply", the temperature of the coolant in the supply and return pipelines at the boundary of operational responsibility (hereinafter - ODPUte);

B) to determine the volume (quantity) of thermal energy used for the public service "hot water supply" (hereinafter - ODPUte-gv);

C) to determine the volume of water used for the public service "hot water supply" (hereinafter - ODPUgv);

2) individual, installed in each residential (apartment) and non-residential premises (hereinafter - IPU):

A) to determine the volume (quantity) of thermal energy used for the utility service "heating" (hereinafter - IPUte);

B) to determine the volume of hot water used for the public service "hot water supply" (hereinafter - IPUgv).

The thermal energy supplied from the city heating networks to the house is divided into two parts and, using the equipment of the heating point, is used:
for the preparation of a coolant circulating in the closed-type MKD heating system;
for the preparation of hot water circulating in the open type MKD hot water supply system.

At the same time, the coolant itself, supplied from the city heating networks, is not taken away, but only the thermal energy contained in it is used.

In accordance with paragraph 40 of the Rules, the consumer of the utility service for heating and (or) hot water supply, produced and provided by the contractor to the consumer in the absence of centralized heat supply and (or) hot water supply, pays a total fee for such a utility service, calculated in accordance with paragraph 54 of the Rules . Namely, it should include both a payment for a utility service provided to a consumer in a residential or non-residential premises, and a payment for a utility service provided for general house needs.

Therefore, in this case, consumers should be billed in the payment document for utility services "heating" and "hot water supply" without division into individual consumption and consumption for general house needs.

In accordance with clause 54 of the Rules, consumers of each residential (apartment) and non-residential premises must pay the contractor for the utility resources used during the billing period, namely, the heat energy provided for the “heating” utility service, and the heat energy and cold water provided for utility service "hot water supply".

When determining the amount of payment by consumers of each residential (apartment) and non-residential premises for the utility service "heating", the volume of heat energy used only for heating is distributed among all residential and non-residential premises in an apartment building in proportion to the size of the total area owned (in use) by each consumer of a residential or non-residential premises in an apartment building in accordance with formula 18 of Appendix No. 2 to the Rules:

Ro-i \u003d Vte-o-d x (Si / Sd) x Tte

The amount of payment by consumers of each residential (apartment) or non-residential premises for the utility service "heating" (Po-i, rubles) is determined as the product of three components:

The volume (quantity) of thermal energy used during the billing period in the production of the utility service "heating" and defined as the difference between the measured amount of thermal energy ODPUte and ODPUte-gv (Vte-o-d, Gcal);

The ratio of the total area of ​​the i-th residential premises (apartments) or non-residential premises in the MKD (Si, sq.m) to the total area of ​​all residential premises (apartments) and non-residential premises in the MKD (Sd, sq.m);

Tariff for thermal energy, established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (Tte, rub./Gcal).

When determining the amount of consumer fees for each residential (apartment) or non-residential premises for the utility service “hot water supply”, the cost of cold water and the cost of thermal energy used to heat cold water in the production of utility services for hot water supply, distributed to each residential and non-residential premises in proportion to the volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in a particular residential or non-residential premises and is calculated according to formula 20 of Appendix No. 2 to the Rules:

Rgv-i \u003d Vgv-i x Txv + Vte-gv-d x (Vgv-i / Sum Vgv-i) x Tte

___________
Sum- mathematical sign "sum".

The amount of payment by consumers of each residential (apartment) or non-residential premises for the utility service "hot water supply" (Rgv-i, rubles) is determined as the sum of two components:

The product of the volume of hot water consumed by the consumer for each residential (apartment) or non-residential premises, determined for the billing period IPUgv (Vgv-i, cubic meters), and the tariff for cold water established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (Тхв, rub./cubic .m);

The product of the volume (quantity) of thermal energy used for heating cold water during the billing period, determined by ODPUte-gv (Vte-gv-d, Gcal), the ratio of the volume of hot water consumed by the consumer of each residential (apartment) or non-residential premises, determined for the billing period IPUgw (Vgw-i, cub.m) to the total volume of hot water consumed by consumers of all residential (apartments) and non-residential premises, determined for the billing period with the legislation of the Russian Federation (Tte, rub./Gcal).

Payment for hot water is one of the main items of expenditure for apartment owners in MKD. Management companies regularly receive questions both on the calculation of fees for this service and on current tariffs. In the article, we will deal with all these points and provide useful reference material, including a table with hot water tariffs updated in 2019 in Moscow.

Many consumers are still surprised by the appearance in the payment for housing and communal services of the position “heating water”. This innovation appeared a long time ago - in 2013. According to Government Decree No. 406 of May 13, 2013, in houses with a centralized water supply system, payment must be made at a 2-component tariff.

But what if the owner uses his own heating element? Should he pay for heating or not? This question was answered by an expert in the reference system "Management of MKD".

The traditional hot water tariff was divided into two parts:

• cold water consumption;
• heat consumption.

For this reason, a line appeared on the receipt indicating the amount of heat spent on heating cold water. It seems to many that payment for this heating is illegal, although it is indeed legitimate.

Responsible Denis Nesterenko- Head of expert support of the reference system "Management of MKD".

Calculate the fee depending on the type of engineering system in the MKD and the type of DHW tariff approved by the authorized body. The law provides for two schemes for calculating the DHW fee:

With a centralized DHW system
- using ITP or other equipment

The innovation was required due to the fact that residents additionally use an unaccounted amount of energy. Towel dryers and risers are connected to the hot water supply system, which consume heat. These costs were previously not taken into account when calculating the payment for CU. It is allowed to take money for heat supply only during the heating season, therefore, air heating due to the operation of a heated towel rail as a utility service was not subject to payment. The way out was found precisely in the form of such a division of the tariff into two parts.

For a better understanding, it is worth describing the situation with DHW heating in numbers. If nothing else is required from cold water except purity and pressure, then with hot water everything is a little more complicated. In the case of hot water, another parameter is added - temperature. The supplier must withstand it, otherwise complaints are received, an inspection is scheduled, and if violations are confirmed, the fee is reduced. For hot water, the temperature must be at least +60ºС.

The analysis revealed that the heating of hot water circulating through pipelines consumes about 40% of the heat generally required for domestic hot water supply. The hot water coming from the supplier is not consumed in full and is sent through the return pipe to the heat exchanger, where it is heated by the boiling water supplied to the house. As it passes through the pipes, it cools down. If little water is consumed in the MKD, then heat losses can reach significant values, and the payment made by the owners at a single-component tariff will not be enough to pay off all costs.

Dividing the tariff so that the cost of heating water is taken into account separately was the solution to this problem.

The heat supply organization (RSO) and the HOA signed a resource supply agreement. According to the agreement, RSO supplies thermal energy and hot water to MKD.

Resources and homeowners associations determined the amount of thermal energy for heating water supplied to provide hot water supply to CUs in different ways. As a result, the HOA got a debt, which the resource workers tried to recover through the courts. The HOA did not agree with the position of the RSO. The Supreme Court helped to sort out the situation.

Table of tariffs for hot water from July 1, 2019 in Moscow

The introduction of a new tariff system in Russia, which implies payment for hot water heating, is taking place gradually. The decision on this is made at the regional level, so news about the transition to a new system periodically appears. For example, a 2-component tariff for hot water was introduced in the Altai Territory at the beginning of July 2018. Let's describe what this division looks like.

1. Cold water for hot water. The calculation of payment here is quite simple - water passes through a “hot” meter, its volume in cubic meters is fixed and multiplied by the cost of cold water at the current rate.
2. Heating, that is, the thermal energy spent on providing domestic hot water. Here, the calculations are made somewhat more complicated - the cubic meters calculated by the meter are multiplied by the standard for heating water, as well as by the cost of a gigacalorie.

A separate explanation is required for the moment with the standard for heating cold water for hot water. It is understood as the amount of thermal energy that is spent on bringing a cubic meter of water to the required temperature. This standard is approved at the level of the body working in the regional administration, dealing with the regulation of prices and tariffs.

If in the Altai Territory the transition to 2-component billing took place on July 1, 2018, then in the Chelyabinsk Region it happened earlier. In some regions, the system is already working, in others the transition is still being postponed. For example, in the Volgograd region, the introduction of a new system was decided to be postponed until January 1, 2020. Up to this point, the cost of the service will be charged according to the previous principle - simply for the volume consumed, depending on the tariff for 1 cubic meter of hot water.

The transition to a two-component tariff is a federal initiative that provides for a certain freedom of action for the regions. The new system should eventually start working throughout the country, but now the subjects have the right to start working with it or to postpone this moment. For example, by a recent decision of the Government, the deadline for adopting heat consumption standards for heating cold water for hot water supply was postponed to the beginning of 2020.

The table shows the tariffs for hot water in Moscow, taking into account the increase that occurred from July 1, 2018.

The tariff rate for hot water supply for Muscovites does not include a commission that payment system operators and banking organizations charge for their services when they accept this payment. According to established practice, the specified tariff will be valid for 1-2 years, after which it will be increased again to overcome inflationary fluctuations.

As you can see, Moscow currently uses a one-component tariff for hot water supply, in which consumers pay for the service in the amount of consumed cubic meters according to installed meters or, in their absence (which is rare today), according to the standard.

How much have water heating bills gone up?

In the capital, as in many other cities, since July 1 this year, the cost of a number of utilities has increased. According to the order of the Moscow government, the average growth should not exceed 5.5 percent, while there was no increase at all for individual positions. If we talk about hot water, then it has become more expensive for citizens living in "old" Moscow, and now its price is already mentioned 198.19 rubles per cubic meter.

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 branch 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 conditions 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?

MUP 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

When installing the OPU by the developer of the house - the installation is carried out at the expense of the developer's funds.

When installing the OPU according to law No. 185, the installation is carried out at the expense of budgetary funds allocated for the overhaul of the house.

When installing the OPU by decision of the owners of the premises of the house, the installation is carried out at the expense of the owners of the premises (including at the expense of the “repair and maintenance” item).

When installing the GTC under Law No. 261, the installation is carried out at the expense of MUP POVV, with subsequent reimbursement of expenses by the owners of the premises of the house in a lump sum payment or in installments, taking into account interest for providing an installment payment in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for a period of not more than 5 years.

Who takes the testimony of the OPU? How are testimonials transmitted? Can the owners be present during the taking of evidence?

The housing organization serving the apartment building, on a monthly basis from the 20th-23rd day, takes the readings of the OPU and transfers them to the MUP POVV. MUP POVV periodically takes control readings of the OPU in order to control the reliability of the transferred OPU readings.

The Chairman of the Council of the apartment building, elected by the decision of the general meeting of the owners of the premises, has the right to be present at the taking of testimony of the OPU.
