Calculation of water heating costs. Hot water charging

This is stated in clause 60.2 of the Rules approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

The tenant does not submit meter readings

If the tenant has not submitted meter readings, the volume of hot (cold) water per month will be:

  • average monthly consumption - the first six months of non-submission of data;
  • consumption by consumption standards - further (the seventh and following months of non-submission of data).

This is stated in clause 59, paragraph 2 of clause 60 of the Rules, approved by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

Individual meter out of order

If the individual meter of the tenant is out of order, the volume of consumed hot (cold) water is determined as:

  • average monthly consumption - the first three months of a meter breakdown;

Calculate the average monthly consumption based on the readings of a particular meter for the last six months. And if the meter has been in operation for less than six months - for the actual period of its operation, but not less than three months.

This procedure is provided for in clauses 59 and 60 of the Rules, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

Increasing coefficients for the standards of water consumption in residential premises

The increasing coefficients for the standards for the consumption of cold and hot water in residential premises are set in the following sizes:

The standards, taking into account the increasing coefficients, are applied when the residents have the technical ability to install the meter. In the absence of such an opportunity, it is necessary to apply standards without increasing coefficients. Absence technical capability installation of meters is confirmed by an act in the form approved by order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 29, 2011 No. 627.

This procedure is provided for in clauses 59, 60, 60.2 and 81 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree of May 6, 2011 No. 354, clause 5.1 of the Appendix to the Rules, approved by the RF Government Decree of May 23, 2006 No. 306.

Distribution of water consumption for general household needs

With a positive difference between the readings of the general house meter and the actual (standard) consumption for individual needs, to determine the amount of utility bills, the difference must be distributed. To do this, calculate the volume of hot (cold) water transferred for general household needs for each specific room.

Volume calculation cold water, transferred for general house needs and attributable to the corresponding premises, depends on the area of ​​the premises and on whether the house has a centralized hot water supply and district heating or not. For the calculation procedure, see table.

It is necessary to calculate the amount of hot water transferred for general house needs and falling on the corresponding room based on its area. This conclusion follows from Appendix 2 to the Rules, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354. For the calculation procedure, seetable .

If the volume of hot (cold) water according to the general house meter turned out to be less than the residents consumed according to the indications individual meters and consumption according to standards, the distribution must be carried out not in proportion to the occupied areas, but in proportion to the number of residents. That is, it is necessary to distribute only between living quarters.

If the amount for reduction obtained as a result of the calculation will be more than the one or another subscriber consumed, then reduce only to 0, and do not carry over the balance to past or future periods.

This follows from clause 47 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

When distributing the volume of hot (cold) water for general household needs, observe next rule... The volume per room after distribution should not exceed the standard indicators. The management company (HOA, TSN) should cover volumes in excess of these indicators from its own funds. This can be avoided only if the tenants voluntarily decide at the general meeting of the house that the excess amounts can be distributed between them.

This is stated in paragraph 44 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

An example of calculating the volume of hot (cold) water transferred by meters

The management company "Alpha" is located in the Perm region. One of the apartment buildings has the following characteristics... The house has a general house metering device, centralized hot water supply and centralized heat supply. The total area of ​​all residential premises (apartments) and non-residential premises in the house is 2710.8 sq. m.

In February, the following data from a general house meter were recorded:

  • in relation to cold water supply, the volume according to the testimony of the general house metering device was 800 cubic meters. m;
  • in relation to hot water supply, the volume according to the testimony of the general metering device was 400 cubic meters. m.

All rooms have counters. The volume of cold water consumed in all residential and non-residential premises of the house was 760 cubic meters. m. The volume of hot water consumed in all residential and non-residential premises of the house was 320 cubic meters. m.

The volume of water transferred in relation to a 1-room apartment of 42 sq. m with meter readings of 11 cubic meters. m (in relation to cold water supply) and 6 cubic meters. m (in relation to hot water supply) will be:

  • 11 cubic meters m - cold water supply for individual use;
  • 0.62 cc m ((800 cubic meters - 760 cubic meters) × 42 sq. m: 2710.8 sq. m) - cold water supply for general needs;
  • 6 cubic meters m - hot water supply for individual use;
  • 1.24 cc m ((400 cubic meters - 320 cubic meters) × 42 sq. m: 2710.8 sq. m) - hot water supply for general needs.

Calculation in the absence of meters

If meters are not installed, the calculation of the amount of hot (cold) water transferred depends on:

  • the area of ​​the room;
  • the number of persons permanently or temporarily living in the premises;
  • water consumption standard per person (taking into account the increasing coefficients, if it is technically possible to install meters);
  • consumption standard for general household needs (taking into account the increasing coefficients, if there is a technical possibility to install meters).

Consumption standards are set by regional authorities (clause 5 of the RF Government Decree of May 6, 2011 No. 354).

For more details on the calculation method, see.table .

Situation: how to determine the number of persons permanently or temporarily living in a dwelling when calculating the volume of transferred hot (cold) water? The calculation is made by the management company (HOA, TSN) to determine the payment for utilities. Metering devices in the living quarters are not installed.

If there is data on the actual number of residents, calculate based on this indicator. In the absence of such information, set the number of residents on the basis of a protocol on an administrative offense.

Payment for the provided utilities is one of the obligations of the consumers of such services (sub. “And” clause 34 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree No. 354 of May 6, 2011). In this case, consumers include persons using the premises in an apartment building (clause 2 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree No. 354 of May 6, 2011). Therefore, the number of persons permanently or temporarily residing in a dwelling can be determined on the basis of registration data. It is equal to the number of citizens registered in the premises.

At the same time, the norms of the Rules, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354, are formulated in such a way that the conclusion follows: the fact of residence does not have to be confirmed by the presence of registration at the place of residence (stay).

A consumer is considered to be a temporary resident of a dwelling if he actually resides in this dwelling for more than 5 consecutive days (clause 56 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree No. 354 of May 6, 2011). At the same time, he should not be registered (clause 9 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree of July 17, 1995, No. 713).

A person with whom a contract for public services was concluded is obliged to inform the management company (HOA, TSN) about an increase or decrease in the number of citizens living (including temporarily) in the dwelling he occupies, which is not equipped with meters. This obligation must be fulfilled no later than 5 working days from the date of the changes.

If a person does not fulfill the obligation, the management company (HOA, TSN) has the right to establish the number of people living in the premises independently (for example, by interviewing neighbors or visiting the premises). The result of the check must be completed act on establishing the number of residents. Within three days, send such an act to the territorial bodies of the migration service and internal affairs to establish the fact of an administrative offense. On the basis of the protocol on an administrative offense, determine the number of residents.

This follows from sub-clause "h" of clause 34, sub-clause "f (1)" of clause 32, clauses 56 (1) and 58 of the Rules approved by the RF Government Decree of May 6, 2011 No. 354.

Thus, the number of persons living in a dwelling is determined as follows. If there is data from the owner of the apartment on the actual number of residents, calculate based on this indicator. In the absence of such information, the number of residents should be determined on the basis of a protocol on an administrative offense.

An example of calculating the volume of transferred hot (cold) water according to standards

The Alfa company manages an apartment building that does not have a common hot and cold water meter (the meter cannot be installed).

The total area of ​​the premises that are part of the common property in an apartment building is 2,189.8 sq. m. The total area of ​​all residential premises (apartments) and non-residential premises in the house is 2710.8 sq. m. m.

The standards for water consumption for general household needs in accordance with regional legislation are:

  • 0.0392 cc m / sq. m - for cold water supply;
  • 0.03 cbm m / sq. m - for hot water supply.

The consumption standard for cold water supply per person is 3.832 cubic meters. m, the standard of consumption for hot water supply for 1 person - 2,743 cubic meters. m.

The volume of water transferred in relation to a 1-room apartment of 42 sq. m with the number of living 2 people, in which the meter is not installed, will be:

  • 7.664 cc m (2 persons × 3,832 cubic meters / person) - cold water supply for individual use;
  • 1.33 cc m (0.0392 cubic meters / sq. m × 2189.8 sq. m × 42 m: 2710.8 sq. m) - cold water supply for general household needs;
  • 5,486 cc m (2 persons × 2,743 cubic meters / person) - hot water supply for individual use;
  • 1.02 cc m (0.03 cubic meters / sq. m × 2189.8 sq. m × 42 m: 2710.8 sq. m) - hot water supply for general household needs.

How to calculate hot water for its subsequent payment, every homeowner must know. The fact is that the provision of this service is 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 can lead to its shutdown.

Payment for services for the supply of hot water to the population is regulated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011 No. 354. According to it, it should include 2 components:

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

Typically, centralized hot water systems are used in cities to supply such water to apartments, communal apartments and rooms in apartment buildings. At the same time, the tariffs for hot water are set by federal Service on tariffs, as well as its divisions in the regions, so if you do not know how to calculate the tariff for hot water, you can refer to the website of this body. In addition, an example of such a calculation can be provided to you in your local resource supplying organization.

Hot water tariffs 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 utility company has set a two-part rate, 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 include 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 which category of consumers you belong to. It can be industry, budgetary institutions or population.

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

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

According to a separate scheme, hot water supply is calculated in the event that an individual boiler room is installed in the house. So, in payments there is no line "hot water supply", and instead of it 2 positions are set: 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

  • by counter;
  • according to the general standard.

The first option is the most profitable for the owner of the dwelling, since it allows you to pay only for the amount of hot water that was actually consumed by him. Moreover, every month he will need to transfer the readings of the meter to the local resource supply company. It is usually called Vodokanal or Teploenergo and is municipal property.

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. Usually the standard is applied when the meter is not installed in the apartment or it has broken down. At the same time, as a measure to stimulate the population to install metering devices, the Government has been gradually increasing the standards by 2017 by 1.6 times since 2015.

With regard to specific figures, for 2016 in Moscow the rate of hot water consumption is set at 166 liters per day per person. In other regions, it may be different. In any case, it will be more profitable to pay by the meter, so it makes sense to install it indoors 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 the general metering device.

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

Hot water bills

Directly residents of apartment buildings are usually not involved in the calculation of one. Since this is the responsibility of the local housing department or HOA, a line with this indicator is specially highlighted in the payment receipt for them, which will need to be paid as part of the general receipt. In the event that the amount of one, in your opinion, will be overstated, 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 the court.

It should also be borne in mind that modern technologies allow you to pay for utilities remotely or on a special schedule. This will be especially convenient if you leave the region of your residence for a while or are very busy. To make payments on schedule, you will need to write a statement about this at the local branch of your bank or adjust 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, the required payment amounts will be withdrawn from your account at the right time, which will allow you not to become a debtor on utility bills. In any case, try to pay the cost of hot water in full and on time.

Meter readings transmission

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

Hot water consumption calculation

On their basis, you can independently calculate the consumption of hot water for yourself. To do this, subtract the new readings from the readings for the last month. The difference you get will be your monthly expense.

If you are interested in how to calculate hot water according to a receipt, then you can do this by multiplying the readings obtained using the meter by the tariff in force in your region. Such a calculation can be useful to you in the event that you have questions about the numbers indicated in the payment receipt. With claims on this score, you often contact a resource supply company, where you are obliged to recalculate the hot water you consumed.

Unscheduled water meter check

After you take the readings from the hot water meter, they will need to be handed over to the supplying 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 supplying you with burning water.

After transmitting the readings of an individual hot water meter, you will only have to wait for a receipt for its payment to come to you. If you figured out how to calculate hot water by this time, you can double-check the amount billed to you in order to avoid mistakes. Moreover, if several water meters are mounted in your apartment, you will have to transfer 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 about 30 liters of water are drained from the tap using a ten-liter bucket. In the event that a larger or smaller figure is displayed on the meter, this may be a sign that an unscheduled check is required for the water meter.

Internet bank for payment for hot water

After you get an invoice based on the testimony you gave, you can pay it in several ways, for example, at the Russian Post, through the Internet bank, and also using an ATM. In the event that you delay the payment for more than 3 months, you may be charged a penalty, and the hot water may be turned off. After six months, utilities will already be able to go to court to evict you from the premises they occupy.

A water meter installed in an apartment or house will help residents pay for the amount they consumed. For example, you went on vacation or no one temporarily lives in the apartment, so why overpay at the rates established utility company?! The water meter will significantly help reduce the cost of paying for water supply. The owner only needs to regularly note the meter readings and pay for the consumed cubes of water. How to take readings from a water meter?

The water meter has 5 numbers in black and 3 numbers in red. Liters on the meter are shown in red numbers (in this case 79 liters), but you will not need them to make a payment, because it is produced for cubic meters. Therefore, for calculations, we look only at the "black" numbers that are responsible for the cubes. After you have just installed the meter, write down its readings for yourself. In our case, it is 00000079. After a month, note the readings of the water meter again. For example, they will be 00011879. This means that in a month you have consumed 11 cubic meters and 800 liters of water. For payment, you can round this figure and pay for 12 cubes.


In the next month, the readings of the water meter became 00021650. To calculate the consumption for the month, the previous readings should be subtracted from the current readings of the meter. For simplicity of calculations, liters can be disregarded at all, then we have: 00021 - 00011 = 10 m3. In the following months, we make calculations in the same way, taking into account only the numbers.


So that you do not have to overpay for water, make sure that all plumbing is in good working order. Faucets, cistern, or leaks elsewhere. To do this, close all the taps and see if the metal gear is spinning on the water meter display. If not, then everything is working correctly and the water meter will really help you save money.

The examples of calculating the cost of hot water and heat energy given by REC employees, although they are largely arbitrary, nevertheless show that the presence of a metering device allows you to pay according to actual consumption. Calculation according to standards is almost always an overpayment.

It should be noted that hot water supply can be centralized and non-centralized.

Non-centralized water supply is the preparation of hot water in indoor autonomous systems engineering support. For example, when a boiler is installed in a private house or instantaneous water heater.

Only centralized hot water supply is subject to regulation (tariff setting). In this regard, a distinction is made between open and closed hot water supply circuits.

Open circuit

With an open (centralized) heat supply scheme, hot water is taken for the needs of hot water supply directly from the heating network.

In accordance with current legislation, a two-component tariff is set for hot water in an open system, which consists of a component for the heating medium and a component for thermal energy.

The component for thermal energy is set by the regulator in the form of a one-rate or two-rate component equal to the one-rate or two-rate heat energy tariff, respectively.

The component for the heat carrier (and for utilities it is, as a rule, water that has undergone additional training at the boiler house) is installed as a one-part component and is taken equal to the tariff for the heat carrier.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in the presence of an in-house metering device

Calculation data:

consumption volume 5 cubic meters.

The payment for hot water supply provided in the indicated apartment will be: 5.0 * 89.38 = 446.90 rubles.

Calculation of the amount of payment for hot water supply in an open heating system provided in a residential building in the absence of an in-house metering device(if it is technically possible to establish it) is determined based on the consumption standard, the number of residents (registered) in the dwelling and the hot water tariff.

An example of calculating a payment for hot water in the absence of an in-house metering device

Apartment house is located in the city of Omsk, the supplier of heat energy JSC "Omsk RTS" through the networks of the small town of Omsk "Teplovaya Kompaniya".

Calculation data:

consumption standard in the amount specified in Appendix No. 1 of the order of the REC of the Omsk Region dated 09/11/2014 No. 118/46 for 5-storey buildings, 3.4 cubic meters. m / sq. m (in the absence of the technical feasibility of installing an individual metering of hot water).

two-component tariff for hot water, approved by order of the REC of the Omsk region dated December 19, 2016 No. 597/71, from January 1, 2017 in the following amount:

Conversion to one-component according to the following formula:

17.82 + 1422.60 * 0.0503 = 89.38 rubles / cubic meter m;

where 0.0503 Gcal / cu. m is the standard amount of heat energy for the preparation of one cubic meter of hot water.

Number of residents - 3 people.

The payment for hot water supply provided in the apartment will be: 3.4 * 89.38 * 3 = 911.68 rubles.

Important ! If the apartment does not have a metering device if it is technically possible to install it, a multiplying coefficient is applied in the calculation, which from January 1, 2017 is 1.5.

The payment in the above apartment, taking into account the increasing coefficient, will be 3.4 * 1.5 * 89.38 * 3 = 1,367.51 rubles.

Currently, in accordance with federal legislation, a phased transition from an open hot water supply system to a closed one is taking place.

Closed circuit

With a closed (centralized) hot water supply system, hot water from the heating network is used exclusively for heating, and hot water supply is provided through a separate circuit or is carried out by heating the water supply drinking water in central heating points (TSC).

In accordance with current legislation, tariffs for hot water in closed system hot water supply are set in the form of two-component tariffs, consisting of a component for cold water and a component for thermal energy.

The cold water component is equal to the set cold water tariff, the heat component is equal to the set heat tariff.

The amount of payment for utility services for hot water supply is determined in accordance with the Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by the Government Russian Federation dated May 6, 2011 No. 354, according to the formula No. 24.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in a closed hot water supply system in the presence of an in-house metering device

Calculation data:

the volume of consumption in the apartment is 5 cubic meters.

The payment for the hot water supply service in the first half of 2017 in the indicated apartment will be:

14.63 * 5 + (5 * 0.0503) * 1422.60 = 430.93 rubles.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in a closed hot water supply system in the absence of an in-house metering device

The apartment building is located in the city of Omsk, the supplier of hot water is the MP of the city of Omsk "Teplovaya Kompaniya" from the heat sources of Omsk RTS JSC.

Calculation data:

consumption standard in accordance with Appendix No. 1 of the order of the REC of the Omsk Region dated 09/11/2014 No. 118/46 for 5-storey buildings - 3.4 cubic meters. m / person

two-component tariff for hot water, approved by order of the REC of the Omsk region dated 20.12.2016 No. 623/72, from January 1, 2017 in the following amount:

The payment for the hot water supply service for 1 person in the first half of 2017 in the specified apartment will be:

14.63 * 3.4 + (3.4 * 0.0503) * 1422.60 = 293.03 rubles.

If the apartment does not have a metering device if it is technically possible to install it, a multiplying coefficient is applied in the calculation, which from January 1, 2017 is 1.5.

The payment for the hot water supply service from 1 person living in the above apartment, taking into account the increasing coefficient, will be 1.5 * 293.03 = 439.55 rubles.

Infographics provided by REC of the Omsk region

In the near future, residents will start paying for hot water according to a new principle: separately for the water itself and separately for heating it.
So far, the new rules are already being used by enterprises and organizations, while the old accounting department remains for the residents. Due to the communal confusion, the housing and communal services refuse to pay to the heat and power engineers. Fontanka understood the complexities of the two-component tariff.

Earlier

Until 2014, the population and business structures paid for hot water in the following way. For the calculation, it was necessary to know only the consumed amount of cubic meters. It was multiplied by the tariff and by the figure artificially derived by officials - 0.06 Gcal. It is precisely this amount of thermal energy, according to their calculations, that is needed to heat one cubic meter of water. As Irina Bugoslavskaya, Deputy Chairperson of the Tariff Committee, told Fontanka, the indicator “0.06 Gcal” was derived from the following data: the temperature of the hot water provided should be 60 - 75 degrees, the temperature of the cold one used to prepare hot water should be 15 degrees in winter, 5 degrees in summer. According to Bugoslavskaya, the officials of the committee made several thousand measurements, removing information from metering devices - the artificially derived figure was confirmed.

In connection with the use of this method of payment, there was a problem associated with risers and heated towel rails connected to the hot water supply system. They heat the air, that is, they consume Gcal. From October to April, this heat energy is added to heating, but they cannot do this in summer. For a year now, a system has been in effect in St. Petersburg, according to which payments for heat supply can be collected only during the heating season. In this regard, unaccounted heat is generated.

Solution

In May 2013, federal officials came up with a way out of the situation of unrecorded heating with heated towel rails and risers. For this, it was decided to introduce a two-component tariff. Its essence lies in the separate payment for cold water and its heating - thermal energy.

There are two types of heating systems. One implies that the hot water pipe departs from the one intended for heating, the other implies that for hot water, water is taken from the cold water supply system and heated.

If hot water is taken from the same pipe as heating, then payment for it will be calculated taking into account the costs associated with chemical treatment, staff salaries, equipment maintenance. If cold water is taken from the State Unitary Enterprise "Vodokanal of St. Petersburg" for heating, then the payment for it is taken according to the tariff - now it is a little more than 20 rubles.

Heating tariff is calculated based on how much resources were spent on heat production.

Confused dwellings

On January 1, 2014, a two-component tariff was introduced for consumers who do not belong to the “population” group, that is, for organizations and enterprises. In order for the townspeople to be able to pay according to the new principle, it is necessary to amend the regulations. Pay by new system prohibit the rules for the provision of utilities. Since residents are still paying old scheme, housing organizations serving houses where non-residential premises are present got a new headache.

Charging for hot water supply consists of two parts, or components, each of which is highlighted in a separate line in the receipt - DHW and DHW heating. This is due to the fact that in the houses of the Academichesky water preparation is carried out directly by the management company in the individual heating points of each house. In the process of preparing hot water, two types of communal resources are used - cold water and heat energy.

The first component, the so-called

DHW supply- this is directly the volume of water that passed through the hot water meter and was consumed in the room in a month. Or, if the readings were not taken, or the meter turned out to be faulty or the verification period has expired - the volume of water determined by calculation according to the average or the standard for the number of prescribed ones .. The procedure for calculating the volume of DHW supply is exactly the same as for To calculate the cost of this service, the tariff for cold water is applied, since in this case it is cold water that is purchased from the supplier.

Second component,

DHW heating- this is the amount of heat energy that was spent to heat the volume of cold water provided to the apartment to hot temperature. This amount is determined based on the readings of the general house heat energy meter.

In general, the amount of payment for hot water supply is calculated using the following formula:

P i gv = Vi gv × T xv+ (V v cr × Vi gv/ ∑ Vi rv × T v cr)

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

T xv- cold water tariff

V v cr- the volume of heat energy used during the billing period for heating cold water in the case of independent production of hot water management company

∑ Vi gv- the total volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in all rooms of the house

T v cr- heat energy tariff

Calculation example:

Suppose the consumption of hot water in the apartment for a month is 7 m 3. The consumption of hot water in the whole house is 465 m 3. The amount of heat energy spent on heating the hot water supply according to the general house metering device - 33.5 Gcal

7 m 3 * 33.3 rubles. + (33.5 Gcal * 7 m 3/465 m 3 * 1331.1 rubles) = 233.1 + 671.3 = 904.4 rubles,

Of which:

RUB 233.1 - payment for actual water consumption (DHW line in the receipt)

671.3 - payment for heat energy spent on heating water to the required temperature (line for DHW heating in the receipt)

V this example to heat one cube of hot water, 0.072 gigacalories of thermal energy were spent.

V A value showing how many gigacalories were required to heat 1 cubic meter of water in billing period called coefficient DHW heating

The heating coefficient is not the same from month to month and largely depends on the following parameters:

Cold water supply temperature. V different time the year the temperature of cold water is from +2 to +20 degrees. Accordingly, in order to heat the water to the required temperature, you will have to spend different amount thermal energy.

The total volume of water consumed per month in all areas of the house. This value is largely influenced by the number of apartments that have passed readings in the current month, recalculations and, in general, the discipline of taking readings by residents.

Heat energy consumption for hot water circulation. The circulation of water in the pipes occurs continuously, including during the hours of minimum draw-off. That is, for example, at night hot water is practically not used by residents, but thermal energy for heating water is still consumed to maintain the required temperature of hot water in heated towel rails and at the entrances to apartments. This rate is especially high in new, sparsely populated houses and stabilizes with an increase in the number of residents.

Average values ​​of DHW heating coefficients for each block are given in the section "Tariffs and calculated coefficients"

With the advent of cold weather, many Russians are worried about how to pay for utilities. For example, To How to calculate hot water and how often you should pay for these services. To answer all these questions, you first need to clarify whether a water meter is installed in this dwelling. If the meter is installed, then the calculation is made according to a certain scheme.

The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for utility services, which came last month. In this document, you should find the column in which the amounts of water consumed for the last month are indicated, we need figures with indicators at the end of the last reporting period.

The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for housing and communal services, which came last month

After these readings are written out, they should be entered into a new document. In this case it comes on receipts for payment of utility bills for the next reporting period. As you can see, the answers to the questions, how to calculate the cost of hot water by the meter, how to determine its consumption, are quite simple. It is necessary to timely and correctly take all the readings of the water meter.

By the way, many management companies themselves enter the above information into payment document... In this case, you do not have to look for data in old receipts. You also need to remember that in situations where the water meter has just been installed and these are the first readings, the previous ones will be zeros.

The initial readings of some modern meters may not contain zeros, but some other digits.

I would also like to clarify that the initial readings of some modern meters may not contain zeros, but some other digits. In this case, in the receipt in the column where you need to indicate the previous readings, you need to leave these numbers.

The process of searching for previous meter readings is very important if you need to understand the question of how to calculate hot water from the meter. Without these data, it will not be possible to correctly calculate how many cubic meters of water was used in this reporting period.

So, before starting to study the question of how to calculate the cost of hot water, you should learn how to take readings from a water meter.


Meter designations

Almost all modern counters have a scale with a minimum of 8 digits. The first 5 of which are black, while the second 3 are red.

Important

It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed on the receipt, which are black. Because this is the data of cubic meters, and it is according to them that the cost of water is calculated. But the data that is colored red is liters. They do not need to be indicated on receipts. Although these data make it possible to estimate how many liters of water a particular family consumes for a certain reporting period. Thus, you can understand whether it is worth saving on this good or whether the expense is within the normal range. And of course, you can determine how much water is spent on taking bath procedures, and how much on washing dishes, and so on.


It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed on the receipt, which are black.

In order to correctly figure out how to calculate the tariff for hot water, you should know on which day of the month the readings of this device are taken. Here, you need to remember that the data from the water meter must be taken at the end of each reporting period, after which they must be transferred to the appropriate authority. This can be done through a phone call or over the Internet.

On a note! It should be remembered that the figures are always indicated at the beginning of the reporting period (that is, those that were withdrawn last month) and at the end (these are those that are withdrawn now).

This regulation is spelled out in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011, its number 354.

How to calculate the correct service?

It is no secret that the legislation of our country is constantly changing, in connection with which citizens begin to worry about the question of how to calculate hot water or any other utility costs.

If we talk specifically about water, then here one should take into account the fact that payment consists of certain terms:

  • indicators of the water meter, which is located in the room and controls the flow of cold water;
  • meter readings that show the consumption of hot water in a given apartment;
  • indicators of the device, which calculates the consumption of cold water for all tenants;
  • meter data that monitors the consumption of residents of the house, it is installed in the basement of the house;
  • the share of a particular apartment in the total cost;
  • the share to which a particular apartment in this house corresponds.

The penultimate indicator is the most incomprehensible, although in fact everything is quite accessible. It is taken into account when determining the amount of the resource that was spent on everyone. It is also called “common house needs”. This, incidentally, also applies to the last indicator, it is calculated when the general needs of the house are calculated.


Hot water consumption calculation

As for the first two indicators, they are quite understandable. They depend on the tenants themselves, because a person himself can choose to save the consumption of a particular resource for himself or not. But in other cases, it all depends on how often wet cleaning is performed at the entrance of the house, on the number of riser leaks, and so on.

The worst thing about this system of payments is that almost all part of the general household needs is fictitious. Indeed, in every house there are tenants who incorrectly indicate their individual indicators, or, for example, one person is registered in their apartment, but five live. Then the general needs of the house should have been calculated on the basis that 3 people live in apartment No. 5, and not 1. In this case, everyone else would have to pay a little less. As you can see, the question of how to calculate hot water still needs careful research.

That is why our officials are still trying to figure out how to calculate the payment for hot water and which mechanism would be the most successful.

Does everyone have the same tariffs?


To save money, you always need to screw on the tap, if in this moment it is not necessary to use water

To do this, just go to the site of the management company or just call there. Also, such information is contained on the receipt that comes to each tenant.

After these data are found, the cost of the spent cubic meters of the resource should be calculated. Further, it is quite simple to calculate the payment for hot water, this is done in the same way as in the case of all other resources. You should take the amount of spent cubic meters and multiply by a specific tariff.

It should be noted that today there are many ways how you can save hot water consumption, thereby reducing your costs of paying for it. To do this, you can use special nozzles on the faucet, they will help not spray water so much and control the pressure power. Also, you should not open the tap valve at full strength, so the jet will go under less pressure, but the water will not scatter in all directions. And of course, you always need to screw on the tap, if at the moment it is not necessary to use water. For example, when a person brushes his teeth or washes his hair (while the head is soaped or smeared Toothbrush, the tap with water can be closed).

All these tips will help to reduce the cost of paying for hot or cold water, thereby helping to correctly calculate the consumption of hot water.

Difference between hot and cold water calculations


Of course, there are many flaws in this formula, as in the one that takes into account the consumption of hot water. Due to the fact that general house indicators are taken into account, it is difficult to control where the difference between the individual indicators of all residents and the data that was taken from the water meter installed on the house went. Perhaps everything is really so, and all this water was used to clean the entrance. But this is hard to believe. Of course, there are tenants who deceive the state and give incorrect data, but there are also errors in the operation of the pipeline system itself (the sewers in most houses are old and can leak, so the water goes nowhere).


Hot water bill

For a long time, our government has been thinking about how to correctly calculate hot and cold water and how to improve the existing mechanism.

For example, in 2013, our authorities came to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish standard norms for general household needs and it is these data that should be taken into account during cost calculations. cubic meter water. This helped a little to curb the zeal of our management companies and help the citizens of the country. You can find out these numbers from the management company. But this applies only to those cases when the tenants have entered into an agreement with the management company. If we are talking about Vodokanal, then here in every locality a separate fixed minimum payment will be established. And, for example, an overpayment in this reporting period can cover the costs in the next one.

As you can see, there is a whole scheme that makes it clear how to calculate the heating of hot water or how to calculate how much to pay for the consumption of cold water.
