Heating bills account for the lion's share of total utility costs. Find out from this article how heating bills are charged under the new 2016 rules and how the tariff is determined when the meters are not installed. Knowing how to "read" the receipt, you will be aware of how much and for what you pay. This will allow timely identification of intentional or accidental errors in the calculations indicated in the receipts.

The formula for calculating the payment for heating

Terms of provision utilities are regulated by the Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 and No. 344. They indicate that the calculation of payments for heating is done in two ways:

• Based on the readings of metering devices.
• According to consumption standards (if meters are not installed).

Excluding devices

The total area of ​​the apartment x the standard for the consumption of thermal energy x the heating tariff established in the region.

According to the current legislation, in all houses where there is a technical possibility, general house meters must be installed. If they are absent, a multiplying coefficient is applied when calculating the payment for heating. In 2016, it was 1.4, and since the beginning of 2017 it has been increased to 1.6.

With a general house meter

Another calculation method is used when only one general metering device is installed in the house, and there are no meters in the apartments. In this case, the formula is applied:

The total volume of consumed heat in the building x the area of ​​the apartment / the total area of ​​all premises in the building x the tariff established in the region.

The total amount of heat consumed in the house is determined on the basis of the readings of the general house meter taken over a certain period of time. Usually it is 1 month.

With individual counter

Now let's see how heating is calculated in an apartment in which an individual heat meter is installed. The formula is pretty simple:

The amount of heat consumed (readings of the apartment meter) x the heating tariff set in the region.

The calculation of payment for heating in this way is carried out only if two conditions are met:

1. Metering devices are installed in 100% of apartments.
2. There is a communal meter in the building.

Let's consider how the heating fee is calculated using a specific example:

How the tariff is determined if there are no meters

Although the state encourages owners to install metering devices, still not everyone has them. In such cases, the tariff is calculated in one of two ways:

• If even a common house meter is not installed, the tariff set by the local administration is taken.
• If there is a general house meter, the tariff is calculated for a specific house.

The tariff is revised once a year. Its size is influenced by different parameters, the main ones are:

• energy prices;
• expenses for paying salaries;
• average temperature over the last 5 heating seasons.

When the heating season ends, the tariff is revised and the costs for the previous season are recalculated. If the actual costs are lower, the resulting overpayment remains on the personal account of the owner. It will go towards paying for heating next year. If it is revealed that the tariff was understated, additional amounts appear in the receipts.
Please note - if you yourself have found a discrepancy between the accrued and paid amount, you have the right to write a statement of recalculation. A sample application for the recalculation of utility bills can be downloaded in this article.

The cost of heating housing is one of the most significant components of the bills that we pay for housing and communal services. It is not surprising, therefore, that among frequently asked questions arising from consumers of utilities, an important place is occupied by the procedure for calculating payments for the supply of heat to our homes. We decided to raise this topic again in connection with the loss of force of the Rules for the provision of communal services to citizens, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation of May 23, 2006 No. 307, and the adoption of a new document dated June 29, 2016 No. 603 "On Amendments to Certain Acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on issues of providing public services ". Starting from July 1, 2016, the procedure for calculating heating bills was changed, so on the MG pages we will analyze where the specific figures in the “heating” column in 2017 will come from.

Today calculations for thermal energy can be done in one of two ways:

• only during the heating season
• evenly throughout the calendar year

The specific method is chosen by the Moscow Government no more than once a year before October 1 of the current year and the decision is implemented only in the next year: from July 1, when switching to uniform payment throughout the year, or from the first day of the heating season when switching to payment, respectively, during the heating season.

For 2017, the city government has maintained a uniform method of paying for heating in Moscow, excluding the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky districts. However, the same settlement procedure applies to the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative areas.

In 2017, residents of houses that have not yet been equipped with a general-purpose heat meter will pay 1.5 times more than residents of those houses where such a meter is installed.

Let's consider four typical cases, in accordance with which payments are charged for supplying heat to our houses.

Case 1. The house is not equipped with a general house metering device (OCP), while the technical possibility of its installation is absent. This mainly concerns the old housing stock. Here the calculation is carried out according to the following formula:

Case 2... The house is not equipped with a substation control room, but at the same time it is technically possible to install it (housing stock, where, for various reasons, the general house metering device for heat energy has not yet been installed). In this case, the calculation is carried out as follows:

As can be seen from the above formula, residents of houses that have not yet been equipped with a common house heat meter will pay 1.5 times more houses where such a meter is installed in 2017. In accordance with Federal Law No. 261-FZ "On energy supply and increasing energy efficiency", common meters must be installed in all apartment buildings by July 1, 2012, then this period was extended, however, to date, even in Moscow all houses are equipped with them. A special multiplying factor should stimulate homeowners to take measures to have such meters appear in their homes. However, for example, in the settlement of Sosenskoye, pilot houses are installed in the old housing stock as part of a long-term targeted program at the expense of the local budget.

Case 3. The house has a control room, but not all rooms are equipped with individual heat metering devices (IPU). This case covers the overwhelming number of houses built after the enactment of the law "On Energy Saving", when the installation of general house meters became the responsibility of developers. In this example, the calculation is carried out using the following formula:

Once a year, heating bills are adjusted based on actual consumption, according to the formula:

In this case, the management company throughout the year evenly charges payment in accordance with the standard or average actual consumption for last year, and after a year, it recalculates based on the readings of the general house meter. At the same time, the recalculation can be both down and up, depending on how cold and long the heating season was, as well as on the economy of heat consumption by the owners, including in places common use.

Case 4. The house is equipped with a control room and all premises of the house are also equipped with a control room. This case mainly applies to new buildings with a horizontal distribution of the heating system, which allows you to install a heat meter separately for each apartment. The calculation will be carried out according to the following formula:

Adjustment of heating bills based on actual consumption (once a year):

Separately, it should be noted that for the application of the calculation scheme No. 4, all residential and non-residential premises in apartment building must be equipped with meters. At the same time, all meters must be in good working order, be calibrated on time (once every 4 years), and must also be put into operation with the involvement of the management company. This situation makes it virtually impossible to pay for individual heat meters, since one inoperative or unverified device is enough for the calculation to be made according to scheme No. 3.

The government decided to keep the uniform payment for heat consumption in apartment buildings for 2017.

So, we examined 4 typical cases of payment for heat energy, which the owners of apartment buildings face (apartment buildings stand apart, where the common property includes their own boiler house and where the owners pay not for thermal energy, but, as a rule, for gas, which used for heating water). As you can see, according to the amendments to the federal legislation, now the Moscow Government determines how Muscovites will pay for heating: evenly throughout the year or only during the heating season. So far, it has been decided to keep the payment evenly for 12 months. It can be assumed that this is due to the desire to evenly distribute the load on family budgets(primarily low-income citizens). If, say, the annual payment for heating is 12,000 rubles and this amount is distributed evenly throughout the year, then the monthly budget load will be 1,000 rubles. If payment occurs only during the heating season, which in our region is 5-6 months, then heating costs during this period increase 2 times, although they disappear completely in the rest of the year.

Vi. The procedure for calculating and paying utility bills

ConsultantPlus: note.

From 07/01/2020, the payment for the utility service for electricity supply can be reduced up to the complete exemption of the consumer from payment in the cases, in the manner and amount established by the legislation in the field of the electric power industry (Federal Law of 12/27/2018 N 522-FZ).

36. The calculation of the amount of payment for utilities is carried out in the manner established by these Rules, taking into account the specifics provided for by regulatory enactments governing the procedure for establishing and applying the social rate of consumption of electrical energy (power), if a decision is made in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation to establish such social norm.

37. The settlement period for payment of utilities is set equal to a calendar month.

38. The amount of payment for utilities is calculated according to tariffs (prices) for consumers established by the resource supplying organization in the manner determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation on state regulation of prices (tariffs).

If in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation a decision is made to establish a social norm for the consumption of electrical energy (power), the amount of payment for utility services for electricity supply is calculated at the prices (tariffs) for electrical energy (power) established for the population and equivalent categories of consumers in limits and beyond such a social norm.

In the case of establishing tariffs (prices) differentiated by groups of consumers, the amount of payment for utilities is calculated using the tariffs (prices) established for the corresponding group of consumers.

If surcharges are established to tariffs (prices), the amount of payment for utilities is calculated taking into account such surcharges.

In the case of establishing two-part tariffs (prices) for consumers, the calculation of the amount of payment for utilities is carried out at such tariffs (prices) as the sum of the constant and variable components of the payment, calculated for each of the 2 established rates (constant and variable) of the two-part tariff (price) separately ...

In the case of two-component hot water tariffs, the amount of the hot water utility charge is calculated based on the cost of the cold water component intended for heating in order to provide the hot water utility service (or the heating agent component that is part of the hot water tariff in open heat supply systems (hot water supply), and the cost of a component for thermal energy used to heat cold water in order to provide utility services for hot water supply.

(see text in previous edition)

When establishing tariffs (prices) for consumers, differentiated by time of day or by other criteria reflecting the degree of utilization of utilities, the amount of payment for utilities provided in a residential building is determined using such tariffs (prices) if the consumer has a an individual, general (apartment) or room metering device that allows you to determine the volumes of communal resources consumed in the corresponding room, differentiated by time of day or by other criteria reflecting the degree of utilization of communal resources.

44. The amount of payment for a utility service provided for general house needs in the cases established by paragraph 40 of these Rules, in an apartment building equipped with a collective (common house) metering device, with the exception of public heating services, is determined in accordance with formula 10 of Appendix No. 2 to these Rules.

At the same time, the volume of utility services provided for general household needs for the billing period, distributed in accordance with formulas 11 - Appendix No. 2 to these Rules between consumers, cannot exceed the volume of utility services calculated on the basis of the consumption standards of the corresponding utility resource in order to maintain common property in an apartment building, except in cases where a general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building, held in the prescribed manner, decided to distribute the volume of utilities in the amount of the excess of the amount of utilities provided for general needs, determined based on the indications of a collective (general) metering device , over the volume calculated on the basis of the standards for the consumption of communal resources in order to maintain common property in an apartment building, between all residential and non-residential premises in proportion to the size of the total area of ​​each residential and non-residential premises ...

When calculating the payment for a utility service provided for general household needs to a consumer in a non-residential premises, the prices (tariffs) established for the category of consumers to which such a consumer belong are used.

If the general house (collective) and all individual (apartment) metering devices have the same functionality for determining the volumes of consumption of the utility service differentiated by the time of day or by other criteria reflecting the degree of utilization of utility resources, then the volumes of the utility service provided for the billing period for common house needs are determined separately for each time of day or other criterion, and the amount of payment for each of such volumes of public services is distributed among consumers in accordance with the first paragraph of this clause. In other cases, the volume of utility services provided for the billing period for general household needs is determined and distributed among consumers in an apartment building without taking into account the differentiation of this volume by time of day or by other criteria reflecting the degree of use of utility resources, unless otherwise provided by an agreement containing provisions on the provision of utilities.

(see text in previous edition)

45. If the volume of utility services provided during the billing period for general household needs is zero, then the payment for the corresponding type of utility provided for general household needs, determined in accordance with paragraph 44 of these Rules, will not be charged to consumers for such a billing period.

(see text in previous edition)

46. ​​The payment for the corresponding type of utility service provided for the billing period for general household needs, determined in accordance with paragraph 44 of these Rules, shall not be charged to consumers if, when calculating the volume of utility services provided for the billing period for general household needs, it is established that the volume utility resource, determined based on the readings of the collective (common house) metering device for this billing period, is less than the sum of the volumes of the corresponding type of utility service provided for this billing period to consumers in all residential and non-residential premises, and the volumes of the corresponding type of communal resource used by the contractor during this billing period in the independent production of communal services for heating and (or) hot water supply, determined in accordance with paragraph 54 of these Rules.

49. If the household is not equipped with an individual metering device of the corresponding type of communal resource, then the consumer, in addition to the payment for the communal service provided in the residential premises calculated in accordance with paragraph 42 of these Rules, pays for the communal service provided to him when using the land plot and located on it outbuildings.

The amount of payment for the utility service provided to the consumer when using the land plot and outbuildings located on it is calculated in accordance with formula 22 of Appendix No. 2 to these Rules based on the norms for the consumption of utility services when using the land plot and outbuildings located on it.

The calculation of the amount of payment for utility services provided to the consumer when using the land plot and outbuildings located on it is carried out starting:

from the date specified in the contract containing the provisions on the provision of utilities, or in the consumer's statement submitted to the contractor in accordance with subparagraph "k" of paragraph 34 of these Rules, on the beginning of consumption of the communal service provided by the contractor when using the land plot and outbuildings located on it if the consumer does not have an individual metering device;

from the date specified in the act on the identification of the fact that the consumer does not have an individual meter and on the consumption of the communal service provided by the contractor when using the land plot and outbuildings located on it. Such an act is drawn up by the performer in the presence of the consumer and at least 2 disinterested persons. The contractor is obliged to indicate in the act of the consumer's objections and does not have the right to prevent the consumer from attracting other disinterested persons to participate in the inspection, information about which, if attracted by the consumer, must also be included in the act drawn up by the contractor.

50. The calculation of the amount of payment for a utility service provided to a consumer living in a room (rooms) in a residential building that is a communal apartment (hereinafter referred to as a communal apartment) is carried out in accordance with formulas 7,,,, and Appendix No. 2 to these Rules, and in the case of establishing two-component tariffs for hot water - in accordance with formulas 25 - of Appendix No. 2 to these Rules.

Heating costs are growing every year, and many consumers are interested in what they pay for and why the numbers in the payment are getting bigger. The cost of heating is calculated according to the standard for heat consumption, and in apartment buildings it depends on the heated area and on general building costs.

Each consumer should know how the calculation of heating charges is carried out according to the standard in order to be able to control the fairness of charges in the management company.

The amount of the heating fee depends on various factors.

In Russia, there are two main documents that are used to calculate the payment for heating. The first of them is the government decree №354 dated 06.05.11. It regulates the rules for the provision of public services to residents of apartment buildings. This document became an alternative to the government decree No. 307 of 23.05.06, however, in practice, the old decree is still in force.

The decision on the rules for calculating payments is made at the local level; the region itself chooses the best option for itself. There is a very important difference between them: according to the Rules established in the decree No. 354, the payment for heating is charged only during the heating season, and is not distributed over the whole year. On the one hand, this simplified the calculation methodology, on the other, it led to an increase in the financial burden on the consumer.

According to the new rules, in the period from October to May, it rises sharply, as they begin to include the cost of heating. Many consumers find it difficult to pay increased bills, which leads to an increase in debt. According to the traditional methodology established in the rules. Resolution No. 307, consumers pay approximately the same amount for an apartment throughout the year, and it is adjusted taking into account the general increase in tariffs.

The amount of payment for heat depends on the installed general house meter, the presence of heat meters in apartments, as well as the presence of distributor sensors in residential and non-residential premises.

Calculation of fees for an unidentified general house meter

The general house meter allows you to save

If an apartment building is not equipped with a common building, heating bills are calculated based on three main factors:

• Heating standard. This is the number of gigacalories required to heat up to the required temperatures of one square meter. meters of area. Each region has its own standard depending on climatic conditions.
• Heating tariff. This is the regional cost per gigacalorie of heat.
• The size of the heated area. In an apartment building, it does not include the area of ​​the loggia or balcony.

Thus, the calculation of the heating payment in this case is carried out according to a relatively simple formula:
The size of the fee = standard * tariff *, the standard and the tariff are set by the regional authorities.

The total cost of heat does not depend on the amount of actually consumed calories of heat energy, so this method of calculation is used less and less. Now all over Russia there is a campaign to improve the energy efficiency of heat supply, therefore, heat meters are being actively installed.

Calculation of fees with an installed general house meter

A more common situation today is that a common building has been installed in an apartment building, while there are no individual heat consumption meters in the apartments. engineering communications in many houses are such that individual meters simply cannot be included in the heating system, and each consumer does not have the opportunity to independently increase or decrease heating. In this case, the calculation is carried out based on four main parameters:

• The total amount of thermal energy consumed by the house, it is determined by the readings of the general house meter. Its installation allows you not to pay for heat lost on the road due to uninsulated heating mains and other problems of heating networks.
• Heated area of ​​the consumer's apartment or non-residential premises.
• The total heated area of ​​the building. All living quarters are taken into account, as well as entrances, attached shops connected to a common heating system, etc.
• Thermal energy tariff established by law. Tariffs are determined by the local authorities.

The calculation formula is as follows: Heat charge = total volume * apartment area / house area * set tariff. In this way, the distribution of fees becomes fairer, as each house actually pays only for itself.

However, even in this case, the calculation system is not ideal: since consumers do not have the ability to control heat consumption, they often have to simply “heat the street”, releasing heat outside due to its excess. At the same time, you will still have to pay for it in full. Because of this, more and more modern version calculation with individual counters.

Calculation of fees with installed individual meters

An individual meter allows you to pay for the actually consumed heat

If individual heat consumption meters are installed in all apartments, the calculation will become more complicated, but in the end the consumer pays for the energy actually used, and this option turns out to be the most profitable. The calculation takes into account the following parameters:

• The amount of heat consumed by one residential or non-residential premises is determined by the readings of an individual meter. At least 95% of the premises in the building should be equipped with metering devices.
• The amount of heat consumed by the whole house, it is taken into account on the basis of the readings of the general house meter.
• The area of ​​the apartment for which the heating payment is calculated.
• Total heated area of ​​the house. Residential and non-residential premises are taken into account.
• Heat tariff set by the government.

All these parameters are taken into account when calculating according to the following formula: Amount of payment = (individual heat + total heat * apartment area / total area) * tariff.

From the readings of the general house meter, the sum of the readings of the individual meters is subtracted, and the remainder is divided among all consumers. Thus, the tenants of the house independently pay for heating the entrance and other general premises, however, the main calculation is carried out on the basis of individual meters.

This allows you to significantly reduce heating costs, since you do not have to pay for worn out networks and endless utility breakdowns. And yet, the option with individual meters is far from always possible: most often a common house meter is installed in the house, and as a result, residents still have to partially pay for each other. This also causes difficulties in dealing with debtors: they cannot be disconnected from the single heating system, and as a result, they continue to use the heat paid for by other people.

The procedure for calculating payment for heat according to the rules of 2006

According to the rules, each year should be recalculated

If payment for heat is charged according to the old rules, and a general house meter is installed in the house, then the final figures in consumer receipts will depend on how much heat the apartment building consumed during the past year.

This value is divided by the total area of ​​the building, taking into account both residential apartments and non-residential premises such as offices and shops. The result is the amount of heat per 1 sq. meter of area, it is divided into 12 months.

After that, the resulting average monthly energy consumption is multiplied by the tariff approved by the local government. The resulting value must be multiplied by the area of ​​the apartment. Calculation example based on 2011 tariffs for Izhevsk. According to the general house meter, the total amount of heat energy consumed in one year was 990 gigacalories.

The total area of ​​all apartments in the house and common areas is 5500 meters. After the calculation, it turns out that within a year, 1 sq. meter spent 0.015 gigacalories per month. The resulting average monthly volume is multiplied by the cost of 1 gigacalorie of heat at the established rate. 943.60 (tariff) * 0.015 * 1.18 (VAT) = 16.70 rubles per 1 sq. meter of heated area.

The resulting value must be multiplied by the area of ​​each specific apartment. If, for example, it is 45 sq. meters, then the total monthly cost of heating will be 751.5 rubles per month. It is this figure that residents will see in bills throughout the year, since not the amount of heat spent per month is taken into account, but the average monthly consumption received at the end of last year.

How are the heating bills calculated according to these rules, if there is no common meter installed in the house? In this case, the standard is used - the amount of heat energy required for heating. For each house, it is determined separately, this information should be publicly available. When contacting the management company, a resident of an apartment building should receive all the information about how the payment for heat is charged.

According to the rules of Resolution No. 307, a recalculation must be carried out in the house every year. It takes into account the amount of heat consumed in the past year and a new fee is calculated based on this.

If the numbers in the payment raise doubts and seem to be overstated, he has the right to demand that the recalculation be repeated. To do this, a statement is written and sent to the management company, it is necessary to indicate in it the terms for which it is necessary to recalculate. Utilities do not have the right to refuse an application, the answer is provided within 4 days. If, after recalculation, an overpayment is revealed, it should be deducted from the amount of the debt for the next month.

Knowledge of the laws allows you to fight for your rights and seek justice. Regular increase in tariffs creates a serious burden on, therefore, it is necessary to achieve a fair accounting of heat losses.

How the calculation of heating charges is carried out can be found in the video:

Determining the cost of heating and calculating the amount of payment for a room in which there are two or more apartments is a rather complicated process and requires special knowledge. There have also been changes in the settlement procedure, which began to operate in 2017.

The main document that guides the organizations involved in calculating and calculating the amount of payment for heating is the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011 No. 354 "On the provision of utilities to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings." In accordance with this document, there are 2 ways of paying consumers for heating services:

1. Equal amounts throughout the entire calendar year (Hereinafter - Method No. 1);
2. Charge for the actual consumption of heat only in the heating season. And in summer and outside the heating season - the service is not charged (Further Method number 2).

The choice of the method of payment is carried out by the local Administration of the city or district.

If in municipality Method No. 2 is chosen, consumers must be recalculated at the beginning of the next year after the year in which the option of accruals was changed.

How is the amount of payment for heating calculated in the absence of a common building metering device for heat energy?

Installation of a heat meter on the input heat pipe in residential buildings is mandatory.

An exception can be made only for houses that are dilapidated / emergency stock, as well as houses whose heat supply load does not exceed 0.2 Gcal / h. This requirement establishes the federal law of 23.11.2009 261-FZ "On energy saving and on increasing energy efficiency and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation".

In multi-apartment residential buildings where the general house heat meter is not mounted (it is technically impossible to install it), as well as individual heat meters are not installed in apartments, rooms or non-residential premises, the calculation of the amount of payment for heating for a particular room with Method No. 1 (calculations for heat are carried out evenly in throughout the year) is carried out in the following order:

The size of the fee is determined based on heating standards per 1 m2 of area (the sizes of the standard indicators are adopted by the tariff committee or local administration for each region) divided by frequency(12 months) and multiplied by the tariff and the area of ​​the premises.

With Method No. 2 (calculations for heat are carried out only during the heating season) frequency is not taken into account.

In multi-apartment residential buildings, where it is technically determined that there is a place and a room for the installation and normal operation of a common heat meter, and for which such an installation is mandatory, an increasing coefficient is additionally applied to the above calculations, increasing the standard calculation in 2016 by 1.4 , and since the beginning of 2017 by 1.5.

In other words, the legislation motivates the owners of premises in an apartment building to install communal heat metering devices and make calculations using them.

Otherwise, sanctions will be applied in the form of increasing coefficients to the standards.

How is the amount of payment for heating calculated if there are common house heat meters in the house?

As a rule, general house heat meters are installed and maintained by management companies, an apartment building association, or any specialized organization at the discretion of the owners of apartments or other premises of the house.

An organization hired to carry out work on maintenance metering device, is obliged to take readings of the heat metering device on a monthly basis. Then they are transferred to the heat supply organization.

At Method number 2(calculations for heat are carried out only during the heating season) calculation of the amount of payment for heating the premises is done as follows:

for method number 2: the ratio of the share of the area of ​​this room from the cumulative quadrature of the entire house (the ratio of S premises to the total S of all occupied premises) multiplies on the heat consumption for a month and on tariff for heat energy.

With Method # 1, the amount charged for heat supply during the calendar year is the same.

for method no. 1: the sum of the amount of payment for heating is determined in the following way: the area of ​​the room is multiplied by the average consumption of heat energy per unit of area (1 m2) and by the corresponding amount of the tariff.

Average consumption per 1 m2 is calculated based on the total annual consumption for the general house meter for the past year, divided by the total area of ​​all rooms in the house.

In the absence of actual data for the last year, the approved standard for thermal energy is used.

At the same time, annually in the first quarter of the year following the reporting one, an adjustment is made: the difference between the amount calculated for the year (according to the data of the last year) and the actually consumed heat energy is additionally charged or compensated.

How is the heating fee charged if common house and individual heat meters are installed?

Individual heat metering devices (IPU) in our country are rarely installed in apartments and non-residential premises.

The reason is the peculiarity of in-house heating systems with vertical risers, from which they are connected heating devices, mainly designed in residential buildings until recently. We wrote about when it is possible to install an individual heat meter in an apartment.

Usually, the installation of individual heat meters is carried out at the entrance to the room of the heating pipeline, in this case the heating devices are connected in series to the horizontal wiring. And the return line runs parallel to the supply line and returns to the point of entry, creating a "loop".

If there are individual metering devices in all occupied rooms of the MKD (apartment building) Method number 2 (calculations for heat are carried out only during the heating season), the charge for heating for any room is determined:

For method No. 2 in the presence of individual metering devices in all rooms: as the difference between the readings for the IPU (individual metering device for heat in the room) and the share of ONE attributable to the room (general building needs for heating) multiplied by the tariff.

The share of ONE is determined based on the difference between the readings of the general house metering device (heat consumption consumed by the building) and the sum of the readings of all IPU multiplied by the ratio of the area of ​​the room divided by the total area of ​​all rooms in the house.

With Method No. 1, calculations are carried out similarly to the method with Method No. 1 in the presence of a general house metering device and the absence of an IPU, only the total consumption for the heat meter in the room and ODN for the entire heating period, divided by 12 months, is taken as a monthly consumption.

If your apartment has cold batteries, then we wrote what to do in this case and where to complain.
