There is such a wisdom tradition in our city: in the water equator, it is amazed and perplexed about the fresh pricing for heating. This year, the figures in the payments turned out to be so shocking that they were overgrown with thousands of comments in social networks.
We turned to the press service of the Balakovo branch of the company TPLUS, having received such a comment:
"The charges for heating are manufactured according to the testimony of customer accounting devices, which are transmitted from managers and service organizations, or (in the absence of instruments) on established standards.
Compared with November, in December 2020, the consumption of heating as a whole in Balakovo has increased.
This is due to seasonal cooling: December was significantly colder than November. And the colder on the street, the more heat is required to maintain the temperature indoors and the greater the amount of thermal energy is fixed by customer accounting devices. This difference is reflected in the receipts that residents receive.
Figures of consumption are individual for each house and are absolutely transparent. Detailed daily reports on heat consumption are every older house. The effectiveness of the operation of intrama thermal components and the home heating systems, the quality of home preparation to the heating season, etc. To adjust the level of consumption within the house, you must contact the management organizations. "
Speaking with simple words, the main argument of the thermal plans - in December it became colder than in November. Hence the extra hundredn rubles in the payment. We are not accustomed to believe in the Word and turned FGBU "Saratov Center for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring" to find out the average monthly temperature indicators in these two months. What was our surprise when, at the end of the tube, the specialist said that such information is provided with a state institution only on a paid basis (the cost of this information is 18,570 rubles for a month - no ruble less. Therefore, refer to the WeatherArchive site. According to him, the average temperature of November 2020 is 1.4 ° C. In December, this indicator was already -6.2 ° C.
The temperature difference was 4.8 ° C. The cooling without a small on 5 degrees increased the amount in the payment hundreds of rubles, and some will pay almost many times more! With trepidation we are waiting for the January payment, because in our areas this month is traditionally colder than December.
