“Only an individual meter will give an objective picture of the cost of heating and make resource-supplying organizations save the gas, coal, and electricity that they purchase to generate heat,” explained Evgeni Blekh, deputy director of the housing and communal services management center of the Institute for Industrial Management of the RANEPA.
In this case, it is also possible to install a common house heat meter.
“The presence of a common house heat metering device and the installation of an automated individual meter that will allow us to consume not the amount of heat that the heat supply company will send, but that which is necessary right now based on weather conditions and the use of the premises,” emphasized Sergey HSE Higher School of Urbanism professor Sivaev.
In addition, experts recommend that you do not forget to check the condition of the pipes and windows in the house in order to avoid heat loss.
According to Pavel Sigal, First Vice President of Opora Rossii, lowering the temperature in the room by just 1 ° C saves 7% on heating costs.
In September, it was reported that in Moscow it was planned to change the regulation for the supply of heating and turn on and off the heat only depending on the temperature regime.
