How to search for power losses in an apartment building?
In fact, to find the loss of electricity, in an apartment building alone, is almost not realistic. It all depends on the fact that someone from the tenants gives wrong meter readings, someone is stealing electricity, and someone does not pay for this service for several months at all.
Employees of energy-saving services do not have time and desire to dig into such things, therefore, based on the testimonies of the common house counter, they take measurements on each apartment and what is left is taken as the use of electricity for common house needs.
Actually, hence the inflated and unjustified price for the use of electricity. If you live in a more or less friendly house, make a general statement in your energy-saving service, indicating the requirements for recalculating the amount for using electricity and insist that they look for the cause of the loss themselves.
What to do to avoid loss of electricity in the apartment house
Of course, you will not keep a record of the use of electricity for all apartments in the house, so start to act with small steps. First, pay attention to those neighbors who make repairs. Now many to save their money, during some construction work are connected to a common floor board. There's your first loss.
Secondly, it is likely that a kiosk, tent or car park near your house is illegally connected to the public network. When drafting an application, it is worth pointing out your suspicions about this, so that electricians once again rechecked the shields for unauthorized connections.
Well, in the third, before making a fuss, inspect your entrance in the evening. It may be that the house has additional facilities that use electricity, but you simply did not pay attention to them. After all, the losses are not only the lighting of your staircase, but also, the account is light on the local area, electricity to provide collective TV antennas, smoke removal, fire protection systems and automatic locking devices.
If you are sure that you are right, collect the signatures of the tenants and go straight to the appropriate civil service. We have no doubt that you will be able to achieve objectivity and justice.
