1. Why do users still have to pay heating bills when their heat meter reading is zero?

This question is actually a supplement to the answer to the above question.

If the meter no longer moves after the user applies for a power outage, he or she does not need to pay the electricity bill.

If a heating user turns off the heating in his own home, and his surrounding neighbors are still heating, the heat transfer between the homes will increase the indoor temperature of his home, and he will "take advantage" of his neighbors.

If it is a matter of applying for a blackout, no matter how high the power of the light bulbs installed by his neighbors is, the household without power will not be able to "get" the light from his neighbors.

This is due to the different conduction and use methods of heat and light. The characteristics of heat conduction determine that residents who deactivate heat are actually still consuming heat energy.

If charging based on heat meters is implemented, there will be a phenomenon where the heat meter of a household that stops using heat will not show any readings, while the heat meter of a neighbor's house will show more readings. Therefore, it is more reasonable that households that stop using heat should still pay a certain proportion of the heating fee.

.

This shows that the issues involved in charging for heating based on heat meters are much more complicated than collecting electricity bills.

?In some areas where heat meter metering and charging are being trialled, some property management and heating management departments stipulate that regardless of whether the heat user installs a heat meter, and whether or not the heat is deactivated, the heat user should pay a fixed portion of 40% based on the residential building area.

to 60% of basic heating costs.

In order to prevent a very small number of users from taking advantage of others and relying on heat transfer between rooms for heating, it is necessary to formulate a more reasonable system to avoid such unfair heating charges.

2. How much does a heating user charge if he/she requires heating only during severe cold periods?

If the number of heating days in an area in winter is 120, some heat users, for various reasons, require heating only during the 40-day severe cold period between New Year's Day and Spring Festival, and during the early cold period when heating just starts and the end of heating when heating is about to end.

Disable heating during cold weather.

When paying the heating fee, it is required to pay only one-third of the heating fee based on the actual number of heating days. This requirement is obviously unfair.

This is because during the early and late cold periods, when the weather is not too cold, the rooms that need to be heated consume less heat and the heating department consumes less fuel.

During the coldest period of winter, coal consumption for heating is much higher than during the early or late cold periods, and sometimes the daily coal consumption may even double.

Coal consumption is the main calculation basis for heating charges. Price management departments in various places regard fuel consumption as the main cost of heating when determining local heating charges.

Therefore, the practice of heating users requiring heating only during the severe cold period is like going to the market to buy vegetables, cutting off the tops and tails and only asking for high-quality cabbage hearts, but the price remains unchanged. This approach is obviously unreasonable.

Of course, if the user installs a heat meter and pays according to the readings on the meter, such problems will not occur, because to ensure that the indoor temperature remains unchanged, the reading speed of the heat meter in the severe cold period is much faster than that in the early and late cold periods.

The faster the payment, the higher the heating bill.

Therefore, users who have not installed a heat meter and are only required to use heat during the severe cold period must understand the composition of heating costs. The most heat is consumed when it is coldest, and the most fuel is used. The more heat you use, the more you will pay. According to the raw materials

The consumption shall be paid according to the heating price calculated by the local heating management department.

In order to avoid conflicts with heat users, some management departments generally refuse to provide heat in such situations.

3. How many years is the normal service life of indoor heating facilities?

All facilities and equipment have a service life. Just like buildings, refrigerators, TVs, pressure cookers and other household items, the pipes, valves, radiators and other heating facilities in the user's room also have a service life.

From the perspective of safe heating, we cannot wait until the heating pipes in our home are rusted, damaged, broken, leaking water, or injured in an accident before we consider that their lifespan is up before replacing them.

Due to various reasons, some heating facilities have good intrinsic quality and have a much longer service life if installed and maintained properly.

If the material of the heating facilities is poor, the steel pipes and fittings are not galvanized, the wall thickness is not up to standard, the working environment is humid and harsh, there is serious internal and external corrosion, improper use and maintenance, etc., their service life will be much shorter.

Under normal circumstances, the average service life of ordinary indoor heating facilities is about thirty years, and the life of cast iron radiators is relatively long.

The design life of floor radiant heating facilities that have emerged in recent years is the same as that of buildings, which is fifty years.

4. Who pays to update indoor heating facilities?

The building has to be demolished when its useful life is up, the pressure cooker and TV set have to be replaced when their useful life is up, and the indoor heating equipment also needs to be updated at the end of its useful life.

Under normal circumstances, indoor heating facilities are part of residential properties. When they are approaching their service life, the failure rate will increase year by year. Although some of them have not yet reached the renewal period, they often break down and affect normal use. They should be renewed as soon as possible. If not

If replaced in time, sometimes pipe bursts, damaged leaks, and other water leakage failures may occur, and hot water may be sprayed out and scald family members, causing losses and harm to your family and neighbors.

In severe cases, the heat from the hot water sprayed outside can also cause indoor hypoxia, posing a risk of suffocation.

Therefore, heating users should not be careless. When heating facilities are approaching their service life, leaks, leaks, and failure rates are increasing, heating safety issues must be given top priority. Users themselves must be willing to spend money and update heating facilities in a timely manner.
