According to the law on energy conservation, the installation of devices, the main task of which is fixing the consumption of energy produced by heat, is an inapplicable task of every owner. Such special counters had to be installed a long time ago. Energy meters must be installed in every apartment since 2012. Like all other counters, they are divided into general household or individual.
How should counters be installed?
The installation of common household appliances for heating takes place only after, at a general meeting held among the owners of apartments in the house, the participants unanimously or by decision of the majority come to the idea of installing the appliances. However, everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance, since the residents of the apartment building will have to independently collect not only the funds necessary for the purchase and installation of mechanisms, but also find specialists who will be able to install the purchased device. If it was not possible to come to a decision to install a household device for recording the consumption of heat energy due to a number of factors, then in a similar situation it is possible to resort to coercion in the installation of devices for recording the consumption of heat energy for the whole house.
After all the accounting devices are installed, they must undergo a sealing procedure, which, in turn, also requires compliance with a number of specific requirements and procedures. First of all, it is necessary to call a specialist who has a special right to sealing. The next step, after the sealing process itself, is the issuance of a certificate of sealing, which must be immediately submitted to the management company. It is important to do this so that all the readings of the meter, which will be recorded and submitted to the management service for calculating the cost of heating services, were accepted and taken into account in the future when calculating the payment for heating services.
What documents must be submitted to the counter?
Before you are faced with an immense number of accounting devices and choose one, some specific device for accounting of thermal energy from an unprecedented assortment of accounting devices, you should be interested in whether a certificate is attached to this device. Before buying any device, it is important to review the passport of the selected product, because it is in this document that the main, basic characteristics of the device are specified, which are important to familiarize yourself with not only before buying this meter, but also before installing it. Including in the passport, you can find the recommended period for checking this particular meter, which, as a rule, is approximately four years.
Personal heat metering devices - what is this and how to use them?
If a collective installation for the purchase and installation of a heat meter was not accepted, then it can always be installed only in the apartment of the specific owner who ordered the installation here, but it is necessary to take into account the fact that there may be a possibility that this idea will not be realized due to a number of technical reasons. Therefore, before implementing the idea of installing a device for recording heat consumption, you should contact specialists for help to find out for sure whether it is possible to install a heat meter in the apartment.
But it also happens that in a simple human demand of the owner of the apartment to save a certain amount of money, a heat meter is installed, which in the future not only does not meet all the requirements, but is also not registered by the management company. She simply refuses to seal it, puts forward an unprecedented number of reasons for refusal to register, referring to the fact that, say, the brand, model of the device does not meet the requirements and conditions, and must also be other. In such a situation, it is important to remember and keep in mind that the heat meter can be absolutely any, no matter what model or brand it is, who is the manufacturer of the device. However, it is important to pay attention to one unremarkable, but nevertheless important fact: the accounting device must be certified. And before the purchase, the owner must always make sure that he has a certificate for this meter.
To find a way out of the current situation, there is only one way: if the installation of the meter was carried out without any deviations from norms and requirements, then the deviation of sealing and non-acceptance of the data recorded by it can and must be appealed in court. However, it is necessary to understand and take into account one fact in this situation: in order to file a claim, the deviation must be recorded on paper, because one reason can be given orally, and a completely different reason can be recorded on paper.
In order to be completely confident in the correctness of the preparation and drawing up of the claim, it is necessary to seek help from a lawyer with extensive experience, who will help to draw up and write the report, but will also be able to present it in court.
Of course, at the moment, the establishment of the means of accounting for heating is a big novelty. However, the law entered into force a long time ago; the earlier the installation of the device for fixing energy consumption is carried out, the better for any particular user, since this device can easily become the basis for economy. In the case of low-quality service provision, for example, a sufficiently low temperature, recalculate the cost of the service, which will be performed on the basis of the data obtained with the help of the meter.
