Russia (bbabo.net), - Galina Sheporenko, chief weather forecaster of the Ural Department of Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, called the past winter accommodating. The December temperature in the Middle Urals turned out to be 2-4 degrees higher than usual. Only at the end of the first winter month and at the beginning of January were frosts 4-7 degrees below the norm, but from the second week of January the thermometer readings "normalized". And there was no severe cold usual for February either.

The amount of payment for heating depends on the weather outside the window, they explained to us in the Sverdlovsky branch of the T Plus group. With a slight minus, the coolant temperature is 76 degrees, after the thermometer outside the window shows minus 25, the water is heated to 110-130 degrees. Accordingly, more fuel is spent. More than 80 percent of houses in Yekaterinburg have metering devices that show exactly how much a particular house received per month in gigacalories for heating. Based on this figure, the apartment fee is calculated, it is different every month.

In old houses where there are no meters, charges are made according to the standards. The air temperature is minus 6 degrees. Throughout the season, average figures appear in bills, and then, if the winter was warm, the tenants receive compensation, and if it is cold, they have to pay extra. The amount usually does not exceed a thousand rubles. The recalculation is made in May-June. Nevertheless, the January bills of Yekaterinburg residents for heating turned out to be higher than in December. What is a rate hike?

No, they say in T Plus, tariffs are changed once a year, on the first of July. And in December, management companies, closing the year, transmit testimony in the twentieth. Thus, one December week falls into the January payment, and this happens every year.
