The examples of calculations of the cost of hot water and thermal energy given by the employees of the REC, although they are largely conditional, nevertheless show that the presence of a metering device allows you to pay according to actual consumption. Calculation according to the 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 intra-house 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 schemes.

open circuit

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

In accordance with the current legislation on hot water in an open system, a two-component tariff is set, which consists of a heat carrier component and a heat energy component.

The heat energy component is set by the regulator as a single-rate or two-rate component equal to the one- or two-rate heat tariff, respectively.

Component for coolant (and for utilities this is, as a rule, water that has undergone additional treatment at the boiler house) is set as a single-rate 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 meter

Data for calculation:

consumption volume 5 cubic meters.

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

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

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in the absence of an in-house meter

The apartment building is located in the city of Omsk, the supplier of thermal energy is JSC Omsk RTS through the networks of the MP of Omsk "Thermal Company".

Data for calculation:

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

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 next size:

Convert to single component using the following formula:

17.82 + 1422.60 * 0.0503 \u003d 89.38 rubles / cubic meter m;

where 0.0503 Gcal / cu. m - the standard amount of thermal 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 there is no metering device in the apartment, if there is a technical possibility for its installation, a multiplying factor is applied in the calculation, which from January 1, 2017 is 1.5.

The fee in the above apartment, taking into account the multiplying factor, will be 3.4 * 1.5 * 89.38 * 3 = 1367.51 rubles.

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

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 pipe. drinking water in central heating points (CHP).

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

The component for cold water is equal to the established tariff for cold water, the component for thermal energy is equal to the established tariff for thermal energy.

The amount of payment for the utility service 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 Decree 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 with an in-house meter

Decree of the Committee for Tariffs and Prices of the Moscow Region dated December 13, 2014 No. 149-R "On the establishment of tariffs for hot water for 2015" approved a two-component tariff for hot water on the basis of Decree of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2013 No. 406 "On state regulation of tariffs in in the field of water supply and sanitation. The procedure for calculating and paying utility bills is defined in the Rules for the Provision of Utility Services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354. Accordingly, the procedure for calculating payment for hot water has been changed. Now the fee for 1 cubic meter of hot water consists of two components:

The first- payment for 1 cubic meter cold water.

Second- payment for thermal energy, which was spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water.

The component for cold water is the volume of cold water (CWS) for the needs of hot water supply. In the presence of individual metering devices (meters), this component is determined - according to the readings of the hot water metering device (DHW), in the absence of an individual metering device - according to the standard, i.e. 3.5 cubic meters per 1 person. per month.

From January 01, 2015, residents of apartment buildings in the city of Lyubertsy, which are equipped with common house meters, accruals for payment for hot water are made at a two-component tariff: the cold water component for hot water supply and the thermal energy for DHW.

Payment for hot water for residents of the house should also be made at a two-component tariff. The house is equipped with common house DHW meters. Payment for hot water from 07/01/2015 should be charged at the current two-component tariff: the cold water component for hot water supply (at the rate of 33.28 rubles / m3) and the heat energy component (TE) for domestic hot water at the rate of 2141.46 rubles ./Gcal.

In receipts for payment for housing and communal services from July 01, 2015, “Hot water supply” is indicated in two lines:

Cold water for hot water - the volume of cold water (HWS) for the needs of hot water supply;

TE for DHW - thermal energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water.

Indications of a common house meter - the amount of hot water for the current month and the amount of thermal energy consumed in the current month for circulation and heating of the specified amount of water are given on reverse side receipts, for example:

1089.079 cu. m. - FV for hot water supply ( physical water for hot water supply);

110.732 Gcal. - TE for GVS (thermal energy for hot water supply).

The actual amount of heat energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water for a house is determined based on the total amount of heat energy to the total amount of hot water for the current month, which is:

= FC for DHW / FI for DHW = 110.732 Gcal. / 1089.079 cu. m. = 0.1017 Gcal / m3

then, the actual cost of thermal energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of water in the current month will be:

0.1017 Gcal/cu.m x RUB 2141.46 for 1 Gcal. = 217.79 rubles.

Please note that the amount of heat energy spent on heating 1 cubic meter of cold water in each billing month may differ, because is a calculated value and depends on the amount (volume) of hot water consumed by the house in the current month and the amount of thermal energy spent on circulation and heating of this volume. Monthly, these readings are taken from the general house heat energy meter and transferred to the heat supply organization and are simultaneously recorded on the back of the receipt for each current month.

In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 13, 2013 No. 406 “On state regulation of tariffs in the field of water supply and sanitation”, with a centralized hot water supply system in a closed system, a two-component tariff for hot water is set, consisting of “ cold water component "(rub. / m 3) and" component for thermal energy ” (rubles / Gcal). The resource supplying organization supplying hot water makes settlements with the utility service provider (management company, HOA) for 2 resources: cold water - at the tariff for the “cold water component”; thermal energy - at the tariff per "heat energy component". The value of the cold water component is calculated by the tariff regulator based on the cold water tariff. The value of the heat component is determined by the tariff regulator in accordance with guidelines based on the following components: tariff for thermal energy; expenses for maintaining centralized hot water supply systems in the area from the central heating points (inclusive), where hot water is prepared, to the point on the border of the operational responsibility of the subscriber and the regulated organization, if such costs are not included in the tariff for thermal energy; the cost of heat energy losses in pipelines in the section from the facilities where hot water is prepared, including from central heating points, including the maintenance of central heating points, to a point on the border of the operational responsibility of the subscriber and the regulated organization, if such losses are not taken into account when setting tariffs for thermal energy; costs associated with the transportation of hot water. Utility service providers 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 Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), calculate the amount of payment for the utility service for hot water supply for the volume of hot water consumed in cubic meters. In accordance with the Rules, the amount of payment (P i) for the utility service for hot water supply, in a room equipped with an individual device study that hot water is determined by the formula: P i \u003d V i n * T to p (1), where: V i n is the volume (quantity) consumed during the billing period in i-th residential or non-residential premises of a communal resource, determined according to the readings of an individual meter; T to p - the tariff for the utility resource. Since the tariff for the utility resource "hot water" is set in the form of two components, the utility service provider with hot water consumers calculates for the components: cold water and thermal energy for the needs of hot water supply. The amount of thermal energy (Gcal / m 3) for the needs of hot water supply per 1 m 3, as a rule, the contractor of public services is determined on the basis of common house (collective) readings of hot water meters and thermal energy in hot water. It should be noted that the utility service provider makes settlements with the resource supplying organization based on the readings of the same house-wide (collective) meters for hot water and thermal energy in hot water. The amount of thermal energy consumed in hot water in the i-room (Gcal) is determined by multiplying the amount hot water according to an individual meter (m 3) by the specific consumption of thermal energy in hot water (Gcal / m 3). The volume of hot water determined by an individual meter (m 3) is multiplied by the tariff "component for cold water" (rub ./m 3) - this is the payment for cold water as part of hot water. water. In accordance with the information letter of the FTS of Russia dated November 18, 2014 No. СЗ-12713/5 “On the regulation of tariffs for hot water in a closed hot water supply system for 2015”, it is said that the authorities executive power subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of state regulation of prices (tariffs) entitled to decide on the establishment of tariffs for hot water in a closed hot water supply system per 1 cu. m. At the same time, the calculation of the tariff for hot water (T hot water) per 1 m 3 is carried out according to the formula: T hot water \u003d T cold water * (1 + K pv) + US central heating + T t / e * Q t / e (2), where : T hvs - tariff for cold energy (rubles / cubic meters); T t / e - tariff for thermal energy (rubles / Gcal); K pv - coefficient taking into account water losses in closed systems heat supply from central heating points to the connection point; US tst - specific costs for the maintenance of hot water supply systems from central heating points to the boundaries of the balance sheet ownership of consumers (excluding losses) if such costs are not taken into account in tariffs for thermal energy (capacity), per 1 cu. m; Q t / e - the amount of heat required to cook one cubic meter hot water (Gcal / m3). At the same time, the amount of heat for the preparation of one cubic meter of hot water (Q t / e) is determined by calculation, taking into account the heat capacity, pressure, temperature, water density, heat loss in risers and heated towel rails .Thus, the accrual in the receipt for hot water depends on the form in which the regulatory body sets the tariff for hot water: for two components (cold water and thermal energy) or per cubic meter. In the question charges for 2 components (cold water and heat energy) are given, but the municipality and tariffs for the components are not indicated. If we assume that the consumption of hot water was 10 m 3, then the tariff for the “cold water component” is 331 rubles. / 10 m 3 \u003d 33.10 rubles / m 3. If we assume that the tariff for the “thermal energy” component is 1800 rubles / Gcal, the amount of consumed thermal energy is: 1100 rubles. / 1800 rubles / Gcal \u003d 0.611 Gcal, respectively, for heating 1 m 3 of hot water, the consumption of thermal energy was 0.611 Gcal / 10 m 3 \u003d 0.0611 Gcal / m 3.

How to check the correctness of charging for hot water supply.

In many cases, there is doubt about the correctness of charging for hot water.

Let's try to deal with this issue.

First, you need to look at which charging rate applies in your case. There are two of these methods - one-component and two-component tariff. With a one-component method, a single tariff is set per cubic meter of hot water, with a two-component method, the cost of cold water and the cost of heating it to the desired temperature are paid separately.

If a one-component tariff is applied, then everything is clear - the volume of water consumed according to the standard or the meter is multiplied by the tariff, this is the cost of the consumed service.

In the case of two components, however, things are somewhat more complicated, and this is where the way for fraud and tariff manipulation opens.

For example, let's take an apartment equipped with a hot water meter. Suppose that the meter shows the consumption of 5 cubic meters of water per month.

The tariff for water (it should be the same as for cold water) is (for example) 25 rubles / cubic meter.

The tariff for heating is usually given in gigacalories, for example, the cost of a gigacalorie is -2000 rubles.

Here is the whole subtlety of the calculation. A gigacalorie is the amount of heat required to heat 1000 cubic meters of water by 1 degree. Therefore, to heat 1 cube of water by 1 degree, you need 0.001 gigacalories, or 1 megacalorie. And to heat 1 cubic meter of water to 100 degrees, you need 100 megacalories, or 0.1 gigacalories.

This is where the possibility of deception lies. Companies, without further ado, charge “for heating” just the cost of 0.1 gigacalories, however, it is not clear what they are proceeding from.

In fact, this implies that you have water flowing from the tap in your apartment with a temperature of 100 degrees, which, of course, never happens close. Moreover, even in this case, 0.1 gigacalories are not used for heating - after all, before the start of heating, the water does not have a zero temperature, its temperature will be at least 10-15 degrees, which means that heating will require -100 minus 10 = 90 megacalories, or 0.09 gigacalories.

In fact, the difference is even greater - the temperature of the water from the tap is usually no more than 60-70 degrees, you can check it by measuring it with an ordinary thermometer a few minutes after opening the tap, when the temperature is set.

Thus, it turns out that with an initial water temperature of 10 degrees and a final one of 60, you only need to heat the water by 50 degrees, which will require 50 megacalories, or 0.05 gigacalories. As you can see, in this case, the heat needed is half as much as when heated to 100 degrees, which means that the charge for heating should be half as much.

Calculation example: 5 cubic meters of water were used, the tariff for water is 25 rubles / cubic meter, for heating - 2000 rubles / gigacalorie. The tap water temperature is 60 degrees.

The cost of cold water for the needs of hot water supply is 25 rubles x 5 cubic meters = 125 rubles.

The cost of heating water - per 1 cubic meter: at a cold water temperature of 10 degrees and heated - 60, the difference will be - 60-10 \u003d 50 degrees, hence the heat consumption for heating 1 cubic meter will be 0.05 gigacalories, the cost of heating a cube of water is 2000 x 0 ,05 \u003d 100 rubles, five cubes - 500 rubles.

The total cost of consumed water is 625 rubles.

It is easy to see that if we did not take into account the initial and final water temperatures and left 0.1 gigacalories “for heating”, then this figure would increase to 1125 rubles.

This calculation procedure is valid if hot water is supplied without continuous circulation. The circulation is created so that the water does not cool down in the supply pipes, and immediately after the tap is opened, not cold, but hot water comes out of it.

If you have a circulation system in your house, then the losses in it should be taken into account in the ODN column, and not as hot water consumption, but as ODN for water heating. The size of these losses depends on the specific device of the heating system and the state of the thermal insulation of the system, and is calculated as the difference between the heat consumed by the house and total heat for water heating, obtained in the calculation of apartment meters.

In addition, it should be said that the norms of heat consumption for heating water can be established by regional authorities. Therefore, you first need to find out at what rates and tariffs the fee for this service is charged, and then draw conclusions.

In conclusion, I want to say that the average amount of heat for heating 1 cubic meter of water is usually approximately 0.0615 Gigacalories.

Of course, installing water meters helps save money. Most residents believe that the installation of such devices is economically feasible.

How to correctly calculate the readings from the meters?

So, the meters in the apartment are installed. To calculate the volume of water consumed for a certain period (month), look at the receipt for paying for the apartment for the last month and write off the last readings from it.

Some management companies now enter this figure directly into the payment document. If this is your first payment after installing water meters, the previous figure is zeros.

Now we are learning to take accounting readings. The scale of modern counters gives us 8 digits. The first five of them are black, and the last 3 are red.

Since the corresponding columns of the payment document reflect the number of spent cubes of either cold or hot water, then pay attention to the black indicators. They need to be written on the receipt. Indicators of red numbers - liters of water spent by your family, are not indicated.

Accounting readings of the water meter are taken at the end of each billing period (month). Meter data can be transmitted by phone or via the Internet (in electronic document) to a specialized organization.

Note: when transmitting water readings on the meter, figures are indicated that, in this moment shows your meter, as well as the previous value, which is written on the receipt for the last month.

Legal justification for charging for water supply

Management companies count water by meters, based on Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354, adopted on 05/06/2011 and in force since the fall of 2012 and still.

These legislative Rules, in comparison with the old ones, are fairer, but still far from perfect.

Payment for water by meters now consists of several terms, while taking into account:

• • The reading of the scale of the meter located in a certain apartment, set to calculate the amount of cold resource consumed this month.
  • The reading of the rock of the counter located in a certain apartment, set to calculate the amount of hot resource consumed this month.

• • Readings of the device installed in your home (in basement) set to calculate the amount of spent cold resource by all tenants.

• • Readings of the device installed in your house (in the basement), installed to calculate the amount of hot resource spent by all residents.

• • Share consisting of your apartment in the house. It is taken into account when determining the amount spent on the needs of the whole house (the so-called "common house needs").

• The share that your apartment in the house corresponds to. It is also taken into account when determining the hot water spent on the needs of the whole house (the same so-called "common house needs").

The first two components of the list are the consumed water resource, the volume of which depends only on you and the size of your family's needs. The remaining items are made up of the actual needs of the whole house, for example, wet cleaning of stairs and apartment areas.

And the “lion’s” share of common house expenses is overspending, formed from riser leaks, unscrupulous tenants who incorrectly indicate the cubes they spent or live in the house, use communications, but are not registered at the place of residence.

How to calculate water charges

It is possible to calculate the costs associated with water consumption by multiplying its volume spent by the corresponding tariff indicators in a particular locality.

According to the volumes of water consumption indicated by you according to indications apartment meters the cost of payment for the sewerage service, which provides for the removal of wastewater, is also calculated.

Useful information: you can find out the tariff rates established and relevant for today by calling your management company. The same information may be contained in payment document.

Calculation of common house costs for cold water

This value is calculated quite difficult, using formulas that do not make sense to indicate. We only note to calculate this size take into account:

• • The amount in cubes of cold water that was spent by consumers over a certain period, if common house water meters are installed in the house, this takes into account the volume spent by both residents and those who own non-residential premises.

• • Hot water, which for a certain period was spent by consumers, if the house has common house water meters, this takes into account the volume spent by both residents and owners of non-residential premises.

• • The amount in cubic meters of cold water used for a type of utility such as heating.

• • The area of ​​​​all rooms in your house, meaning both residential and non-residential apartments.

• The area of ​​​​the apartment that you use in this house.

So, given formula involves calculating the overspending of the resource used in comparison with the calculated norms for your home.

As mentioned above, overspending usually includes:

• Possible leak from riser pipes.

• Water use by non-registered residents.

• "Cunning" of neighbors indicating the wrong number of cubes in the payment.

In accordance with the Rules specified in the article, the owners of apartments and non-residential premises will pay for the overused water, in proportion to the occupied area.

Calculation of general house costs for hot water

There is a similar formula to help calculate the overused hot water. The same quantities are taken into account, only related to water supply hot water.

However, our Government took care of citizens burdened with utility bills, and in 2013 established consumption rates for general household needs.

These norms curb the “appetites” of management companies and are developed independently at the local level. To find out their values, contact your management company in writing.

Limits for common house needs

According to paragraph 44 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2013, the volume of general house needs (ODN) should not exceed the standard consumption established by local authorities.

It does not have the ability to bill you for the amount of general house consumption that exceeds the established standard.

Again, if the contract for water supply is not concluded with a resource supply company, for example, with Vodokanal. If there is an agreement with the latter, ODN will be paid in full.
In conclusion, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that some settlements set a fixed minimum payment that must be paid, regardless of whether you actually spent it or not.

This takes into account that in the event of an overpayment in a certain month for actually not spent, in the next reporting period this overpayment will be offset. And this is fair.

If you are not a resident of a high-rise building, but own a house in the village, remember that payment is calculated in a similar way, according to the current water supply tariff.
