| Dwellings | 20-22 | 18-24 |
| Kitchen | 19-21 | 18-26 |
| WC | 19-21 | 18-26 |
| 18-26 | ||
| 18-26 | 16-20 | |
| 16-20 | 16-20 | |
| 16-18 | 14-20 | |
| Storage pits | 16-18 | 12-22 |
What to do, if heating is not given
Find out who you have a contract for the supply of heat. It can be either a management company or a heat utility directly. There you can request that you perform a clearing for improper provision of the service.
By law, heating can be turned off for a month for 24 hours( total for all days).At the same time, there can be no more than 16 hours of continuous heat( if in residential premises +12 and above), no more than 8 hours( if at home 10-12 degrees of heat) and no more than 4 hours( if the temperature is 8-10 degrees).
If these general rules are not met, for each hour of failure to provide services( the total amount for the entire period), the heating fee will decrease by 0.15%.
