Odpu in apartment buildings: how is it deciphered, what is it and how to calculate the tariff for them? Who pays for the installation of a common house meter Volgograd residents began to buy cars on credit more often

Today, it is becoming less and less profitable for management companies to do without a common house metering device (ODPU). In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04/16/2013 No. 344, in relation to objects where general house meters have not yet been installed, increasing coefficients to the standards are already starting to operate. And by 2017, the ratio will increase to 1.6 times.

In this article, we will tell you who should pay for common house metering devices, and how to organize the installation of a common house meter in an apartment building.

Why do you need a general house metering device

The general house metering device allows you to control the actual consumption of the resource within the house and record the real volumes of the supplied resource - water, electricity, gas and heat. Therefore, first of all, the ODPU is installed in order not to overpay for the volume of losses on the supplier's backbone networks.

Utility costs are formed by 2 factors: the volume of the consumed resource and the approved tariffs. Tariffs for housing and communal services are growing every six months, and the consumer has no opportunity to influence their growth. Nevertheless, influencing the second factor - the amount of consumed resources, the management company and apartment owners have a real opportunity to save costs.

Installation of ODU allows:

pay for resource consumption after the fact;
to differentiate losses for losses on backbone networks between RNO and owners;
fix the loss of resources.

Thus, the presence of a PDPU is the only way to determine the real consumption of resources in the house.

Do I need a general house meter if the apartments have individual metering devices?

If individual metering devices (IPU) are installed in the apartments, the owners pay for what they actually consumed. However, in addition to individual consumption, in receipts for payment for utilities, there is also a general household expense (ODN).

Ideally, the category of general consumption should include the consumption of a resource for servicing common areas. But in practice, the entire resource that was not taken into account by individual metering devices falls under this category - including all kinds of leaks. As a result, the volume of the resource written off in the ODN column can grow to an abnormal size of 30% of individual consumption and more. While "normal" is considered to be ONE, not exceeding 1.5-2%.

In the absence of a common house metering device, it is impossible to determine where the leaks are. They can be both in the system of the house itself, and in networks from the resource organization to the house.

The presence of general housekeeping makes it possible to pay only for the resource that was actually delivered to the house.

In itself, the presence of a general house meter does not save from an overestimated ONE - there are still leaks inside the house itself and about a dozen more reasons affecting the growth of this cost item.

However, installing a common meter is the first step towards reducing costs.

In which houses is it necessary to install a general house metering device

The installation of general house metering devices depends on the degree of home improvement. Household water, electricity, gas and heat meters must necessarily be in houses connected to centralized power supply networks, as well as to systems:

district heating;
centralized water supply;
centralized gas supply;
other systems of centralized supply of energy resources.

Moreover, such requirements do not apply to dilapidated, emergency facilities, and facilities in which:

power consumption of electrical energy is less than 5 kWh;
the maximum volume of heat energy consumption is less than two tenths of Gcal / h;
the maximum consumption of natural gas is less than 2 m³ / h.

Who pays for the installation of common house metering devices

In accordance with the Federal Law "On Energy Saving", the costs of installing the ODU are fully borne by the owners of the residential building.

The owners of the premises are obliged to pay the costs of installing a common house metering device on the basis of invoices, unless such costs were taken into account as part of the payment for the maintenance and repair of the residential premises and (or) as part of mandatory payments and (or) contributions related to the payment of costs for the maintenance, current and major repairs of common property. PP RF dated 13.08.2006 No. 491, p. 38 (1)

When installing general house metering devices, each owner is presented with an invoice, in which, in addition to general information about the cost of the ODPU, there is information about how much a particular owner must pay.

The expenses of each owner are determined as a share proportional to the share in the common ownership of the common property. To calculate this share, the total area of the premises is divided by the total area of the house and multiplied by the area of the common property.

For example, if the area of the premises is 100 m², the area of the house is 9,000 m², and the common property is 1500 m², then the share of the owner will be: 100/9000 x 1500 = 16.67 m².

Do I need to hold a general meeting of owners

From the "Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building" it follows that ODPU are common property. In particular, such counters are part of building engineering systems. Therefore, for the installation of the ODPU, a decision of the general meeting of the owners of the premises is required. The management company must inform the owners of the need to hold such a meeting.

Despite the fact that the role of the management company during the general meeting is limited only to familiarization activities, if the owners are not notified of the need to install metering devices, the management company faces a fine.

According to clause 5 of Article 9.16 of the Administrative Offenses Code, if the organizations responsible for the maintenance of apartment buildings evade the development and delivery of information about measures aimed at energy saving to homeowners, the controlling body in relation to the Criminal Code, the HOA will be directed to impose administrative liability in the form of a fine :

for an official in the amount of 5,000 to 10,000 rubles;
for a legal entity - from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

How do owners pay for the installation of common house metering devices

Payment for the installation of the ODU is made in one of the following ways:

Make a one-time 100% deposit of funds before or after installing the meter.
Use the right to installments for 5 years. In this case, the owner's share for the payment of a common metering device is set out in the receipt for utilities in equal installments within 5 years. At the same time, in addition to the cost of the device, an additional interest is paid for an installment plan in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
Use the funds of the contractor of utilities allocated for energy saving and energy efficiency measures.

Funds allocated for energy saving activities

In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 of 05/06/2011 "On the provision of utilities to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings", the utility service provider must send the resulting difference between the standard and the amount, taking into account the increasing coefficient, to energy saving measures.

Since the difference between the standard and the amount, taking into account the increasing coefficient, can be directed only to energy saving measures, such funds have a targeted nature of spending, and according to accounting rules, it is necessary to ensure their separate accounting and storage from other receipts.

Let's look at an example. Let's say the volume of water per person per month is 7 m³. The increasing coefficient in 2016 is 1.4. With a tariff of 14.63 rubles. for 1 m³, we get the following: 7 x 1.4 x 14.63 = 143.37 rubles.

In this case, the amount without standards would have turned out as follows: 7 x 14.63 = 102.41 rubles.

Thus, the difference between the standard and the amount, taking into account the increasing coefficient for water, is: 143.37 - 102.41 = 39.96 rubles. It is this amount that should be directed by the contractor for energy saving measures.

The installation of a general house metering device is considered an energy saving measure, therefore, if the owners of the apartment building decide to install a metering device and there are targeted savings on the account of the utility service provider, they must be sent to pay for the services for installing the ODU.

If the owners refuse to pay for the installation

If the owners refuse to pay for the installation of the ODU, such devices will be forcibly installed by the resource supplying organization.

In accordance with clause 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Energy Saving", the owners are obliged to provide the employees of the RNO with access to the places of installation of meters and pay the costs of installing metering devices. In case of refusal to reimburse the resource supplying organization for the installation costs, the owners will have to pay additional costs associated with enforced collection.

Why the installation work is not carried out at the expense of maintenance funds

Routine repair is a timely planned prevention of utility systems, the main way to eliminate malfunctions and minor damages. The purpose of maintenance is to protect property from premature wear and tear.

In accordance with the "Methodological manual for the maintenance and repair of the housing stock" (MDK 2-04.2004), the cost of current repairs of the building must be at least 0.4 - 0.55% of its replacement cost. Inappropriate spending of current repair funds violates the scheduled preventive maintenance schedule, the systematic failure of which can lead to an emergency, sudden failure of pumping equipment, collapse of communal facilities, as well as disruption of the performance of building elements and energy metering units.

It is allowed to carry out work on the installation of the ODU at the expense of current repair funds if the property is in a satisfactory condition. But, as a rule, the physical wear and tear of the housing stock is 70-80% and requires reconstruction.

Compliance with the scheduled maintenance schedule is the main condition for the environmental and technical safety of residents in the house. Therefore, in practice, payment for the installation of general house metering devices occurs either at the expense of the owners, or from separate targeted savings for energy saving at home.

ODPU - the first step towards automated data collection

The installation of general house metering devices is an important step in energy conservation and since 2013 has been mandatory for those houses whose condition allows installation.

The responsibility for installing the ODU is assigned to the owners of premises in an apartment building. At the same time, the tasks of the management company include notifying the owners of the need for such an installation and monitoring the execution at all stages.

The presence of common house meters gives the management company the opportunity not only to reduce the ONE in its house, but also to deploy a full-fledged system of automated data collection. Today, such systems have already become widespread in apartment buildings due to the ability to quickly process readings, save on staff and increase the collection of payments.

See the system of automated collection of readings "STRIZH"

Continuing the article.

The equipping of apartment buildings with general house metering devices for communal resources (ODPU) has been going on for 5 years, but still, due to the peculiarities of its implementation, misunderstandings and disputes arise between residents of apartment buildings, management companies and resource supplying organizations. Often, providers and performers of utilities use ignorance of the cumbersome legislative framework for housing and communal services and cheat citizens in terms of incurring the costs of installing meters and in the transition from calculating payments for services according to standards to calculating payments according to the indications of the ODPU.

Legal instruction the site will tell you about the rules for installing general house meters, the peculiarities of paying for housing and communal services on them and disputes arising between residents and utilities.

On what basis and in what order are common house metering devices installed?

Household metering devices (ODPU) of communal resources must be installed without fail in MKD from January 1, 2013, in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol - from 2019 and 2021. respectively (part 12 of article 13 of the Federal Law of 23.11.2009 N 261-FZ "On Energy Saving ...").

The responsibility to equip the houses of the ODPU before January 1, 2013 was assigned to all owners of premises in the MKD. If this requirement has not been fulfilled on the initiative of the owners, then the executors of communal services (management company, HOA) must provide access to resource supplying organizations to the places where metering devices are installed. This does not apply to houses recognized as emergency, subject to demolition or overhaul before the specified date. Also, collective meters can not be installed in houses where the power consumption of electricity does not exceed 5 kilowatts, gas is consumed in an amount of no more than 2 cubic meters per hour (part 1 of article 13 of the Federal Law of 23.11.2009 N 261-FZ "On energy saving .. . ") And where there is no technical feasibility for installing meters (Order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 29, 2011 N 627). The meter must comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation on ensuring the uniformity of measurements.

The order of installation of the ODU is determined by ch.h. 9-11 Art. 13 of the Law. Their installation, replacement and operation on a contractual basis is carried out by resource supply organizations (RSO), responsible for supplying water, gas, heat and electricity to the house. According to the Order of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation of 04/16/2010 N 178, these organizations are obliged to offer the installation of meters and have no right to refuse to conclude an agreement regulating the conditions for the installation, replacement and operation of metering devices. The price of the contract is determined by agreement of the parties. For the delay in the fulfillment of the obligation, the RNO pays to the consumer for each day a penalty (penalty) in the amount of 1/300 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, but in the amount not more than the price of the work.

The customer under the agreement on the installation of collective metering devices can be a person responsible for the maintenance of common property in the house, or a representative of the interests of the owners of residential (country, garden) houses, united by common networks of engineering and technical support (Order of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation of 04/07/2010 N 149) ... The costs of the contract are borne by the owners of the premises. They can also apply to the service provider to conclude such an agreement. A constituent entity of the Russian Federation or Moscow region has the right to partially pay the expenses of the owners at the expense of budget funds, reducing the amount of expenses of the owners (part 12 of article 13). If the intention to pay the entire amount at once or for a period of less than 5 years is not expressed, the agreement must include a condition on payment of the price in equal installments within 5 years.

When can they install general house meters without the consent of the tenants?

Contractors of utilities (UK, HOA) in houses where meters were not installed as of January 1, 2013, have the right to ensure the installation and commissioning of meters themselves with the involvement of resource supplying organizations (clause 31 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011 N 354). An agency agreement is concluded between the RNO and the Criminal Code, according to which the Criminal Code, acting in the interests of the RNO, collects these costs from the owners (Letter of the Ministry of Construction of Russia dated 07.28.2017 N 26902-DB / 04). The costs of installing metering devices are included in the rent invoices in an amount that is determined for each owner depending on his share in the common ownership of the common property. The composition of possible costs for the installation of metering devices for the energy resources used is indicated in the Letter of the Ministry of Construction dated 04/09/2014 N 5792-MS / 04:

the cost of the meter;
expenses for the development of design documentation for the equipment of the metering unit, its installation and commissioning;
expenses for receiving and transferring funds, mailing of payment documents and correspondence for payment for installation;
expenses for the maintenance of information systems that ensure the processing and storage of payment data, issuance and distribution of payment documents and correspondence during the term of the installment plan.

If an agreement on the recovery of costs between the Criminal Code and the RNO is not reached, the RNO has the right to file a lawsuit against the Criminal Code and recover these costs from the Criminal Code. The management company is recognized as the proper defendant in this claim, since the owners conclude an agreement with it specifically to resolve all issues of house management (Determination of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of June 17, 2015 N 310-ES 15-912 in case N A 14-13747 / 2013). The owners can themselves decide the issue of installing the ODPU at the general meeting, deciding on the amount of installation costs and the inclusion of these costs in the payment for the maintenance of the living quarters (Articles 36, 44 of the RF LC). From the moment of making such a decision, the management company must, within 3 months, ensure the installation and commissioning of the meter.

How does the procedure for calculating utility bills change after installing the meter?

Commissioning of the metering device is carried out within a month from the date of installation. After commissioning, from the 1st day of the next month, the service provider (MC, HOA) is obliged to calculate the amount of payment for the utility service based on the readings of the meter put into operation (clause 81 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011 N 354).

If it is technically possible to install a collective heat metering device, but it has not been installed, the resource supplying organization applies a 1.1 multiplier to the amount of the heating payment set by the management company. In this case, the multiplying factor is not applied to consumers.

If a general house meter is installed, but not all apartments and non-residential premises are equipped with individual meters, the amount of payment for utility services for heating in the room is determined according to formulas 3, 3.1 and 3.2 of Appendix No. 2 to Resolution No. 354, based on the readings of the collective metering device for heat energy ( Letter of the Ministry of Construction of Russia dated 02.06.2017 N 19506-00/04).

What legal disputes arise in connection with the installation of the ODPU?

In judicial practice, there are the following disputes related to the installation of general house metering devices:

disputes over the claims of the owners on the legality of the installation of the ODPU (Appellate ruling of the Amur Regional Court of 03/05/2017 in case No. 33 AP-2233/2017);
disputes on the claims of the prosecutor for compulsion to establish an ODPU (Appellate ruling of the Khabarovsk Regional Court dated 09.09.2015 in case N 33-5802 / 2015);
disputes related to imposing on the owner the obligation to pay for the ODPU installation
(Resolution of the Presidium of the Arkhangelsk Regional Court dated June 22, 2016 N 44 g-0029/2016);
disputes related to the dispute by the service provider of the orders of the regulatory authorities on the issue of the legality of settlements according to the testimony of the ODPU, and not the standards (Resolution of the Arbitration Court of the East Siberian District of December 27, 2016 N F 02-6640 / 2016 in the case N A 69-196 / 2016) ;
disputes in connection with the requirements of the owners to make calculations according to the standards, and not according to the testimony of the ODPU, established in violation of the law or faulty (Appeal ruling of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Buryatia dated November 20, 2017 in case N 33-4590 / 2017).

Housing inspectors began to check the availability of common house metering devices in the apartment building. Readers write to us about this. If the ODPU is not found, they issue instructions to establish or fine. Why suddenly?

The fact is that since August 6, 2017, supervision over the installation of the ODPU within the framework of energy saving has been transferred to the GZI from the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia. And if its employees checked documents rather than basements, and fined resource workers, now the situation has changed. Housing inspectors come and write prescriptions to those who are accustomed to - UO and housing associations.

We've figured out how the changes will affect your work, and we'll show you:

why is it profitable for ICD managers to establish an ODPU;
who and how makes a decision on the installation of an ODPU;
how to finance the installation of an ODPU;
what to do if the owners are inactive;
who is responsible.

At the end of the article, there are three arguments for the GZI in favor of the fact that you cannot equip houses with ODPU on your own initiative and are not responsible for their absence.

Why is it profitable for MCD managers to install common metering devices in 2017

Without metering devices, calculations are made according to the norms for the consumption of utilities and the cost is higher.

In August, two additional reasons appeared to equip the MKD not only with a metering device, but also with an automated information-measuring system for accounting for the consumption of utilities and utilities.

The first reason. Now it is possible to install such a system at the expense of the capital repair fund, if the constituent entity of the Russian Federation includes this opportunity in the list of services and works on capital repairs of common property in an apartment building. This is provided for by Part 2 of Art. 166 LCD RF.

Table. Comparison of methods of equipping MKD with metering devices

The second reason. If the MKD is equipped with an automated information and measurement accounting system with the ability to take readings at once, then the fee for the CD on the SOI must be calculated based on the readings of this accounting system. The owners will not have to gather for a general meeting and make a separate decision on this issue. For more information about the new procedure for payment of the KR at SOI, see the article "Nine news about payment of utility resources for the maintenance of common property."

Who and how makes the decision to install the ODPU

You, on your own initiative and at your own expense, cannot put up an ODPU. Let us explain.

At the end of the 2000s, the government planned to equip all MKD with metering devices. The deadline was set for July 1, 2013. Resource supplying organizations (RSO) were connected to this process - they were obliged to install the ODPU at the request of those who wish. And for seven years now, the mechanism for installing the ODPU by the North Ossetian forces and at the expense of the owners of the premises in the MKD has been working. But while the former do not do this, and the latter do not finance, your debt for the consumed utilities is growing.

So, the decision to install the ODPU is made by the general meeting of the owners of the premises in the MKD. This is due to the fact that the ODPU is included in the common property in the MKD.

The general meeting chooses the method of installing the PDPU in the MKD:

on its own (by the forces of the organization managing the MKD and the contractor);
forces of the North Ossetia.

In the first case, the owners are "thrown off", and you buy a metering device and organize its installation. We recommend that you do just that - it is fast and reliable.

In the second case, the owners decide to contact the RNO to install the ODU, and you prepare the necessary package of documents, submit an application. It is important to remind the owners that the ODPU will be installed, even by the forces of the North Ossetian Defense Forces, but at their expense.

Drawing. An example of the content of the minutes of the general meeting in the MKD on equipping the MKD with a general building metering device for heat energy

Who pays for the installation of metering devices

You are not required to equip the ICD with the ODPU at your own expense. There are three sources of funding for this project:

earmarked funds for owners of premises in apartment buildings;
capital repair funds;
budgetary funds of the regional or municipal level.

In the table, we have compared the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of equipping the MKD ODU.

Who chooses the method of payment for the installation of common house metering devices

We recommend that you take the initiative. Find out from the owners which payment mechanism is preferable for the installation. In life, the owners are not keen on equipping the house with metering devices, and you will have to carry out all the organizational work.

You can initiate a general meeting in the MKD and include in the agenda the issue of equipping MKD with general house metering devices for consumed utility resources. The approximate content of such a protocol is shown in the figure.

January 1, 2019 -

Until this date, the North Ossetia of Crimea and Sevastopol are obliged to send proposals for the installation of an odp

If you are a management organization and work under an MKD management agreement or other agreement with the owners of premises in MKD, then you can initiate a general meeting at any time. This is provided for by Part 7 of Art. 45 LCD RF. The housing association does not have such powers, but there is an “emergency exit”. Homeowners' associations, ZhK, ZhKK must hold a general meeting in the MKD, if they receive a corresponding application from the owners (part 6 of article 45 of the RF LC). Make a request statement, let the members of the board of the housing association (owners of premises in the MKD) sign it. Then collect the signatures of other owners - all you need is 10% of the votes of the total number of votes of owners in the MKD. Collected signatures - prepare a general meeting.

Who is administratively responsible for the failure to install common metering devices

Based on the results of the inspection, the housing inspectorate can fine the RSO. So it was before. It is important that a fine can be issued not for the absence of one or another metering device, but for a refusal to install it. Administrative responsibility is provided for by Part 12 of Art. 9.16 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation and for a legal entity ranges from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

RNOs can be fined only in cases where there was an application to establish an ODP, which was not executed for some subjective reasons.

In any case, you are an improper defendant under Part 12 of Art. 9.16 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. If the owners did not show the initiative, you did not submit an application to the RNO and, as a result, there is no ODU in the house, then there is no one to fine.

The inspectors found a loophole and refer to Part 4 of Art. 12 of the Federal Law of 23.11.2009 No. 261-FZ. This part of the law states that the person responsible for the maintenance of the MKD is obliged to carry out energy saving measures included in the approved regional list of such measures in relation to the common property in the MKD. The owners are obliged to bear the costs of these activities. It turns out that if the equipping of MKD with metering devices is included in the regional list, then you are obliged to do this. Obliged, but in accordance with housing legislation. And it requires a decision of the general meeting of the owners of the premises. And let us remind you that administrative responsibility is provided only for persons supplying communal resources, that is, for RNO.

Under what conditions do RSO establish ODU

The procedure for concluding an agreement with the RNO for the installation of an ODPU and the essential terms of the agreement were approved by order of the Ministry of Energy of Russia dated 07.04.2010 No. 149.

The main conditions of the contract for the installation of a metering device concluded with the RSO are established by clause 9 of Art. 13 of Federal Law No. 261-FZ.

The contract must include a prerequisite for the payment of the contract price:

at a time;
in equal installments over 5 years;
with a shorter installment period.

If you pay for the installation of the ODPU in full by installments, the contract price is fixed and is determined as the total value of the price of the device, its installation and interest for the installment payment period at the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

With a one-time payment, the contract price is fixed and is determined as the total value of the price of the device and its installation.

P. S. three arguments for the housing inspector

We have prepared three arguments for you that we recommend to voice to the housing inspector.

The decision to install utility metering devices in the MKD is attributed to the competence of the general meeting of owners of premises in the MKD, since the ODPU is included in the common property (part 1 of article 36, article 44 of the RF LC).
You can submit an application to the RNO for equipping an ODPU house only by decision of the general meeting of owners of premises in MKD.
Administrative liability for refusal to equip MKD with metering devices for communal resources is provided only for RNO (part 12 of article 19.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

In response to the order of the housing inspector to install general house metering devices, we recommend initiating a general meeting to resolve this issue.

In this article, we will tell you who should pay for common house metering devices, and how to organize the installation of a common house meter in an apartment building.

Why do you need a general house metering device

Installation of ODU allows:

pay for resource consumption after the fact;
to differentiate losses for losses on backbone networks between RNO and owners;
fix the loss of resources.

Thus, the presence of a PDPU is the only way to determine the real consumption of resources in the house.

Do I need a general house meter if the apartments have individual metering devices?

The presence of general housekeeping makes it possible to pay only for the resource that was actually delivered to the house.

However, installing a common meter is the first step towards reducing costs.

In which houses is it necessary to install a general house metering device

district heating;
centralized water supply;
centralized gas supply;
other systems of centralized supply of energy resources.

Moreover, such requirements do not apply to dilapidated, emergency facilities, and facilities in which:

power consumption of electrical energy is less than 5 kWh;
the maximum volume of heat energy consumption is less than two tenths of Gcal / h;
the maximum consumption of natural gas is less than 2 m³ / h.

Who pays for the installation of common house metering devices

In accordance with the Federal Law "On Energy Saving", the costs of installing the ODU are fully borne by the owners of the residential building.

The owners of the premises are obliged to pay the costs of installing a common house metering device on the basis of invoices, unless such costs were taken into account as part of the payment for the maintenance and repair of the residential premises and (or) as part of mandatory payments and (or) contributions related to the payment of costs for the maintenance, current and major repairs of common property. PP RF dated 13.08.2006 No. 491, p. 38 (1)

For example, if the area of the premises is 100 m², the area of the house is 9,000 m², and the common property is 1500 m², then the share of the owner will be: 100/9000 x 1500 = 16.67 m².

Do I need to hold a general meeting of owners

for an official in the amount of 5,000 to 10,000 rubles;
for a legal entity - from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

How do owners pay for the installation of common house metering devices

Payment for the installation of the ODU is made in one of the following ways:

Make a one-time 100% deposit of funds before or after installing the meter.
Use the right to installments for 5 years. In this case, the owner's share for the payment of a common metering device is set out in the receipt for utilities in equal installments within 5 years. At the same time, in addition to the cost of the device, an additional interest is paid for an installment plan in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
Use the funds of the contractor of utilities allocated for energy saving and energy efficiency measures.

Funds allocated for energy saving activities

In this case, the amount without standards would have turned out as follows: 7 x 14.63 = 102.41 rubles.

If the owners refuse to pay for the installation

If the owners refuse to pay for the installation of the ODU, such devices will be forcibly installed by the resource supplying organization.

Why the installation work is not carried out at the expense of maintenance funds

ODPU - the first step towards automated data collection

The installation of general house metering devices is an important step in energy conservation and since 2013 has been mandatory for those houses whose condition allows installation.

All metering devices can be divided into 2 groups: individual and general house (collective). Individual metering devices are devices that take into account your personal consumption of utility resources. Household (collective) appliances take into account the consumption of the communal resource of the whole house, which includes the consumption of all its residents, plus consumption for general household needs ().

Terms of installation of metering devices for residential buildings

In accordance with clauses 5, 5.1, article 13 of the Federal Law "On energy saving and on increasing energy efficiency and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" , the owners of residential buildings are required to install metering devices before the dates below.
