Answer: The law provides, firstly, for the accrual of penalties on the unpaid amount, and also, in the event that the Owner refuses to pay expenses on a voluntary basis, he will be obliged to pay the expenses incurred by the organizations that established the LPPU due to the need for enforcement.

12. Will all multi-apartment buildings be equipped with an LHP?

Answer: The requirements regarding the organization of metering of used energy resources do not apply to facilities whose power consumption of electrical energy is less than five kilowatts (in relation to the organization of metering of used electrical energy) or the maximum volume of consumption of thermal energy of which is less than two tenths of a gigacalorie per hour (in relation to organization of accounting for used thermal energy) (Article 13. p. 1. Federal Law N 261-FZ of November 23, 2009).

13. Can consumers opt out of calculations made on the basis of the GDPR?

Answer: No. Calculations for energy resources should be carried out on the basis of data on the quantitative value of energy resources, determined using metering devices for used energy resources, starting from the month following the month when these metering devices were put into operation (clause 2, Article 13. Federal Law "On Energy Saving and on improving energy efficiency and amending certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation").

14. How do I find out exactly where the ODPA is installed for my home, and who is responsible for providing access to the ODPA if I, as the owner, want to see it?

Answer: On this issue, you can contact the service / management of the apartment building organization.

15. I received an invoice for the payment of expenses for the installation of an ODPU, but I plan to sell the apartment. Who is obliged to pay the costs after the sale?

Answer: After the purchase and sale of the apartment, the new owner must continue to pay the costs of installing the ODPU.

General house meters of all utility resources, including heat energy for heating and hot water, must be installed at the expense of ALL OWNERS, in shares in proportion to the area of ​​​​the apartment (apartments) owned by each owner. Who should install common house meters? The decision on this is made by the general meeting of home owners. Your right is to choose the type of meter, its cost, a reliable installation company that will install it for a reasonable fee and give you an appropriate guarantee. If you do not do it yourself, then from July 1, 2012, the resource supply organization (Vodokanal, Teploenergo, etc.) or the UK for a subsequent payment, which will certainly not be lower than if you yourself choose the installation company. Payment by residents of this installation can be made with payment by installments of up to 5 years.

• 1 Main legislative provisions
• 2 Who should pay for the installation
• 3 The procedure for making decisions on the installation of meters and payment for work
• 4 Nuances of payment for the installation of ODPU
• 5 Features of the procedure

Basic legislative provisions The legislation of the Russian Federation requires apartment owners to equip their houses with common house metering devices. Photo No. 1 Absolutely any sphere of life of a citizen of the Russian Federation is regulated by the relevant legislative act.

Important

With regard to the procedure for installing the ODPU, in legal terms it is not so complicated, but filled with a considerable number of nuances. Considering this topic under different angle, it may be necessary to refer to some Federal laws and the Housing Code of the Russian Federation (LC RF).

Who should install common house heat meters?

Here is what is said about this in the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of November 23, 2009 N 261-FZ "On energy saving and energy efficiency improvement ...": "...5.
Until July 1, 2012, the owners of premises in multi-apartment buildings put into operation on the day this Federal Law enters into force are OBLIGED TO PROVIDE equipping such houses with metering devices used for water, natural gas, heat energy, electric energy, as well as putting the installed metering devices into operation .At the same time, apartment buildings within the specified period must be equipped with collective (common house) meters for used water, thermal energy, electric energy, as well as individual and common (for a communal apartment) meters for used water, natural gas, electric energy.….. 12.

Installation of common house meters

Attention

This type of flowmeter is very sensitive to the presence of suspended solids in the coolant, creates hydraulic resistance to flow, therefore it is rarely used as general house heating meters. Ultrasonic meters are more expensive, but more reliable in operation and determine the flow more accurately.

The device does not require frequent maintenance, does not create resistance, but it needs a certain space (a straight section of a set length in front of and behind it). If the pipeline does not flow completely pure water, then the measurement error increases. Electromagnetic meters also react to the quality of the supplied water, but very little, they do not require direct measuring sections. Such metering devices are mainly used in apartment buildings as collective ones.

Who should pay for the installation of common house meters - from and to

Info

In the total consumption of heat energy, the part that falls on your residential premises is calculated, then it is multiplied by the established tariff. The formula for calculating heating according to a common house meter is as follows: P \u003d Q total * S / S total * T, where:

• Q total - the amount of heat consumed according to the readings of the metering device in Gcal.
• S total - the area of ​​\u200b\u200ball residential, free and office premises in the house in square meters.

m.

S - heated area in sq. m. It does not include balconies, loggias, terraces and verandas.

T is the heating tariff set in the region.

It is worth noting that the recalculation for heating according to the general house meter should be carried out in any case based on the average temperature regime for the heating season.

General building meters for heating in apartment buildings

The task should be performed by the organization supplying heat to residential buildings, and they are also responsible for the maintenance and verification of heat meters until the residents organize their own association of co-owners. Important! The organization assumes the main amount of the cost of equipment and its installation, but in the future these costs will be compensated by collecting additional funds from residents over several years. Installation of a common building meter for heating You can get information about the possibility of installing metering devices in your management company or at the design office. But you need to take into account the fact that the installation of such equipment is associated with a decision organizational moments– owners of some apartments can refuse additional expenses.

The nuances of payment for the installation of ODPU How to pay for the installation of ODPU? Photo No. 4 When deciding to install an ODPU, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances of payment for installation work. More precisely, they are the following:

• Payment for work is carried out from all owners of an apartment building in an equal amount.
• At the suggestion of the BEET or the company that allocates resources to a particular house, residents can pay for the work in installments.
• The term for which tenants must pay installments has a maximum limit of 60 months. More precisely, it is established in the relevant contract.
• An installment plan can also be issued when installing a meter in a private house.
• In some situations, additional fees for all residents of an apartment building can be avoided.

The need to install a heat meter The fact is that since the summer of 2012, the installation of heating meters throughout the Russian Federation has become mandatory, but the amount of payment will become lower only after a number of measures are completed, such as:

• High-quality insulation of the building.
• Full glazing of the house.
• Replacement wooden windows on metal-plastic.
• Insulation of the facade of the house with a "fur coat" made of mineral wool or polystyrene foam.

Residents who use district heating services need to understand that regardless of whether they consider the installation of meters profitable or not, this does not affect the need for their installation, since, in accordance with federal law No. 261, apartment buildings must be equipped with meters in mandatory.

Whose responsibility is it to install common house heat meters

But as practice shows, not all owners of premises were ready to bear such expenses, because installing a meter on one of the types of communal resource can cost about 100,000 rubles today. In addition, before installing a common house metering device, it is necessary to conduct a survey of the condition engineering systems in the house for losses, and if necessary, make repairs or additional insulation pipes for water supply and heating in order to avoid unnecessary leakage.

The decision to install common house metering devices is made at a general meeting of the owners of the premises. Here, an estimate is approved with the cost, scope of work and payment procedure, and an organization is selected that is ready to carry out such work.

When metering devices are installed, they must be put into operation or, in other words, put on commercial accounting.
The owners of premises in an apartment building are responsible for the maintenance of all common property in such a house. Accordingly, the installation of new equipment, including common house meters, which is mandatory in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of November 23, 2009 No.

N 261-FZ "On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Law), falls on the shoulders of the owners of the premises. Metering devices for all types of utility resources: cold, hot water supply, heating, electricity and gas supply had to be installed before 07/01/2012.

The Ministry of Construction of Russia explains the procedure for compensating expenses for the installation of common house energy metering devices

Rubric: Accounting for energy resources
Author:

The Ministry of Construction of Russia issued a letter dated April 09, 2014 No. 5792-MS / 04, in which it explained the procedure for compensating the costs of installing a collective (common house) metering device for a communal resource.

The Department of Housing and Communal Services, Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation reports within its competence.

Clause 38(1) of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 No. 491 "On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building ..." (hereinafter also referred to as the Rules), it is determined that if the owners premises in an apartment building until January 1, 2013 did not ensure that such a house was equipped with a collective (common house) metering device for the used communal resource and, at the same time, in accordance with Part 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law “On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter also referred to as the Law on Energy Saving), a collective (common house) metering device was installed, property owners are required to pay the costs for the installation of such a meter on the basis of invoices and in the amount specified in paragraph two of clause 38(1) of the Rules, except for cases when such expenses were included in the payment for the maintenance and repair of the living quarters and (or) in the composition of the fees established for members partnerships of homeowners or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative of mandatory payments and (or) contributions related to the payment of expenses for the maintenance, current and major repairs of common property.

In accordance with paragraph two of clause 38 (1) of the Rules for the payment of expenses for the installation of a collective (common house) meter, indicating overall size the costs of installing such a meter and the share of the costs of installing such a meter, the burden of which is borne by the owner of the premises, are billed to the owners of the premises by the organization that, in accordance with paragraph 12 of Article 13 of the Law on Energy Saving, installed a collective (common house) meter. The share of expenses for the installation of a collective (common house) metering device, the burden of which is borne by the owner of the premises, determined on the basis of its share in the common property right to common property.

Part 12 of Article 13 of the Law on Energy Saving determines that citizens - owners of residential buildings, country houses or garden houses, citizens - owners of premises in apartment buildings who did not fulfill the obligations provided for by parts 5 - 6.1 of Article 13 of the Energy Saving Law within the prescribed period, if this required the said organizations to take actions to install metering devices for the energy resources used, paid in equal installments over five years from the date of their installation, the costs of these organizations for the installation of these metering devices, provided that they do not express their intention to pay such costs at a time or with a shorter installment period. If an installment plan is granted, the costs of installing metering devices for the energy resources used are subject to an increase in the amount of interest accrued in connection with the provision of an installment plan, but not more than in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in force on the date of accrual, unless the corresponding compensation carried out at the expense of the budget of the subject of the Russian Federation, the local budget.

We clarify that when installing metering devices without providing an installment plan, the costs of these organizations for the installation of metering devices for the energy resources used consist, among other things, of: the cost of the metering device, the costs of developing design documentation for the equipment of the metering unit, its installation and commissioning, expenses for the receipt and transfer of funds, distribution of payment documents and correspondence for payment for the installation of metering devices.

After the division into individual consumption and general house needs (ODN) comes into force, regardless of the order in which apartment buildings are managed, residents pay separately for utilities and separately for services for ODN. However, if there is a common house meter for hot and cold water tenants pay ODN according to the readings of the general meter, and no charges in excess of the specified amount should be made.

The stated advantages of installing a common house water meter include the following:

• in the event of the loss of part of the water resources on the mains and in the event of leakage of heat and water supply, the residents of the houses should not compensate for the losses from their own pocket,
• service adjoining territory(for example, watering lawns) also passes under the control of residents.

However, these advantages do not remove the main objection: if different consumers spend different amount common resources, why should everyone pay the same average amount, and is it possible to avoid such “inequality” without violating the law. Not less than frequently asked question: who should pay for the purchase of common house water meters.

Legal requirements: clarification

Federal Law (No. 261-FZ) "On Energy Saving" in part 5 p. 13 suggests mandatory installation common house metering devices for cold and hot water, placing the responsibility for the acquisition and installation on management organizations and owners. Responsibility for safety and functionality is also assigned to them.

Who should pay for the installation of common house meters - from and to

Article 158 " Housing Code RF” establishes the obligations of residents in relation to compensation for the costs of maintaining the common territory.

There are two types of owners:

1. Owners of residential premises (apartments) in multi-apartment buildings are owners who have privatized the apartments with a certificate of ownership.
2. Municipalities as holders of property rights apartment buildings. The municipal property management, which manages these houses, delegates the right to:
   • management companies,
   • directly to apartment owners (depending on the chosen form of management).

Since the municipality is considered the owner of the apartment building, it is assumed that they should finance the purchase and installation of common house water meters. Moreover, if during the meeting of tenants to refuse the offer of the management company or the HOA for installation, then by law they must still install a water meter, but at their own expense. Thus, in this interpretation, the law does not prohibit apartment owners from making a consolidated decision and financing the purchase of a water meter, but does not require it.

However, a significant part of network lawyers and representatives of the municipal property department understand the owners of apartments in apartment buildings as “owners”. Accordingly, in their clarifications, financing responsibilities are also assigned to them.

In this interpretation, the amount for the installation is divided among the tenants proportionally in accordance with the size of the living area.

At the same time, Law No. 261-FZ retains the right to installment plans for apartment owners. In this case, the payment is divided into five years, starting from the date of installation and receipt of a receipt for payment. Installment payments are made in equal installments. However, in addition to direct payment, the owner will have to pay more interest for installments. Their size corresponds to the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which is valid on the day the payment is calculated. This interest rate includes:

• money transfer costs
• expenses aimed at maintaining information systems (these include resources that ensure the processing of data on current payments and their storage),
• the cost of mailing correspondence and payment documents during the entire installment period.

Common house water meters are legally included in the common house property and, starting from the moment of installation, the resource consumption begins to be calculated in proportion to the areas of apartments in an apartment building. Municipal housing is paid for by the municipality, for privatized apartment- its owner. At the same time, if there is a non-residential premises (for example, a store on the ground floor), ODNs are also distributed to this area. The legitimacy of the proportional division of services for ODN is enshrined in the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. AKPI12-1277.

Installation of the counter and order of prices

Installation cost depends on:

• on the number of homeowners and the presence of commercial organizations in the house,
• the presence / absence of a separate line for cold and hot hydroflow, which implies the need,
• input diameter,
• equipment complexity and installation work,
• pipeline wear and other factors.

For a common house meter for cold and hot water, the average purchase and installation price is about 100-150 thousand rubles, and the amounts can vary from 60 to 300 thousand rubles.

Installation of a common house meter for cold and hot water is carried out in compliance with the procedural rules and possibilities:

• Since the management company does not have the right to install a meter without the knowledge of the tenant, all of them should be fully informed about the advisability of this procedure. As a rule, this happens at a general meeting, where, in addition to explanations about the installation work and the features of the water meter, options for contractors are offered.
• In the HOA, when voting, the decision is considered adopted by a majority of votes, while the opponents of the decision still become participants in the fundraising.
• Owners can independently choose a company offering the most profitable terms work. Most often, such a company asks for signed applications for the installation and acceptance of hydroflow meters.
• House management representatives can offer payment options:
  • through direct fundraising
  • allocation of funds from the capital repairs fund (the most common method),
  • by concluding an agreement with a resource-providing company on the purchase and maintenance of a meter with installment payments.
• The contract for the supply of resources can be concluded both directly with the supplier, and through the chairman of the HOA or the management company.

In the event of a complete refusal to purchase a common house meter, the organization initiating the process may send to court statement of claim. In most of these cases, the court imposes penalties on the plaintiff and decides to purchase a common house meter. The management company also faces penalties if it did not notify the owners of the need to purchase an accounting device.

Types of popular common house meters

AT high-rise buildings Most often, turbine water meters are installed on flange connections with nominal diameter (DN) 40-150 mm. More often, dry-running models are chosen, in which the counting mechanism is isolated from contact with flowing water and is not damaged by hydroflow with debris and impurities. Most of these devices are available in two versions for cold and hot water, while the price of the meter is also affected by the allowable temperature limit.

Features to look out for:

• flow range width,
• the ability to remove the sealed mechanism without emptying the pipeline,
• possibility of mounting on vertical, horizontal and inclined pipelines,
• swivel mechanism for easy reading,
• the presence of external adjustment for the removal of metrological parameters,
• presence and quantity pulse outputs, and their suitability for configuration with various sensors.

The general trend illustrates the growing interest in common house hot water meters with temperature sensors, which record both the flow volume and the amount of heat energy. When configured, such a device can calculate with various coefficients depending on the temperature of the hydroflow. For example:

• flow +50 C and above will be taken into account with a coefficient of 1,
• + 45-49 C - 0.9;
• + 40-44 C - 0.7;
• up to +40 C - consumption is not taken into account, since such a resource does not meet the specified standards.

With all apartment owners proportionately paying their bills, residents are quickly learning how to save, from buying various modified savers (eg http://water-save.com/) to giving up some wasteful household habits.

Also, in accordance with paragraph 38 (1) of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 N 491 “On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building ...” If the owners of premises in an apartment building did not ensure that such a house was equipped with a collective ( a common building) metering device used by the communal resource and, at the same time, in accordance with Part 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Energy Saving and Improving Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation", a collective (common house) metering device was installed, the owners of the premises are obliged to pay the costs of installing such a metering device, except for cases when such expenses were taken into account as part of the payment for the maintenance and repair of residential premises and (or) as part of the mandatory payments and (or) contributions related to the payment of expenses established for members of a homeowners association or housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative for the maintenance, current and major repairs of common property.

4. Why LLC "UKS" did not collect the owners and decided to install the ODPU itself?

Answer: The installation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law N 261-FZ of November 23, 2009. forcibly in apartment buildings, owners of premises in which they did not fulfill the obligation to install common house meters in their homes thermal energy and/or hot water until 01.07.2012. Forced installation does not imply holding meetings of owners of premises in apartment buildings. At the same time, the owners of the premises are obliged to pay the expenses of the Udmurt Communal Systems company for the installation of the ODPU, in case of refusal to pay, the expenses will be recovered in court.

A common house metering device will be installed for everyone. For money!

How is the cost of the ODPU, which is equipped with an apartment building, determined?

Answer: The cost of the ODPU includes the expenses of the organization that, in accordance with Part 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation", installed a collective (common house) meter (based on invoices (estimates )). And it depends on a number of interrelated factors:

- on the diameter of the pipeline section, which is different in each house,

- from different equipment in each specific case,

- from the nuances of its installation.

In addition, the letter of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation dated April 9, 2014 N 5792-MS / 04 clarified that when installing metering devices without providing installments, the costs of organizations for installing metering devices for the energy resources used consist, inter alia, of : the cost of the metering device, the costs of developing design documentation for the equipment of the metering unit, its installation and commissioning.

6. Is the payment for the OPL the same for owners of residential and non-residential premises in multi-apartment buildings?

Answer: In accordance with paragraph 28. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 N 491 "On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building ...": The owners of the premises are obliged to bear the burden of expenses for the maintenance of common property in proportion to their shares in the common ownership of this property. Thus, the payment calculation mechanism is the same for owners of residential and non-residential premises and is defined in proportion to the area premises owned.

7. How is the amount of the fee for the FTA for each premises determined?

Answer: Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 N 491 “On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building ...” p. 38 (1) states:
The share of expenses for the installation of a collective (general house) metering device, the burden of which is borne by the owner of the premises, is determined in proportion to the share in the common property right to common property.

8. Is it necessary to pay the entire amount at once?

Answer: For owners of non-residential premises - a must.
For citizens - owners of premises in apartment buildings, the law provides for the right to installments for a period not exceeding 5 years. The owners of residential premises can pay the expenses of the organizations specified in the Federal Law "On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" for the installation of these metering devices in equal shares within 5 years from the date of installation of the ODPU, provided that they no intention is expressed to pay such expenses in a lump sum or with a shorter installment period.

9. What is the installment "price"?

Answer: If an installment plan is granted, the costs of installing metering devices for the energy resources used are subject to an increase in the amount of interest accrued in connection with the provision of an installment plan, but not more than in the amount of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation effective on the date of accrual.

(Article 13, paragraph 12 of the Federal Law N 261-FZ of November 23, 2009)

Can consumers verify the correctness of the billed costs for the installation of the LRTS?

Answer: Yes, you can send a corresponding request to the resource supply company, which independently (or with the involvement of another organization) completed the installation of the ODPU and presented an invoice for reimbursement of its costs.

In case of disagreement with the amount of expenses indicated in the invoice for the installation of a collective (common house) metering device and (or) the share of expenses attributed to it, the owner of the premises has the right to contact the organization that installed such a metering device and issued the invoice with disagreements, and if disagreements are not settled, he has the right to appeal issued invoice in the manner prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation. (Item 38(1) of Section III of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 N 491).

11. What are the sanctions for non-payment of the FTC?

Answer: The law provides, firstly, for the accrual of penalties on the unpaid amount, and also, in the event that the Owner refuses to pay expenses on a voluntary basis, he will be obliged to pay the expenses incurred by the organizations that established the LPPU due to the need for enforcement.

12. Will all multi-apartment buildings be equipped with an LHP?

Answer: The requirements regarding the organization of metering of used energy resources do not apply to facilities whose power consumption of electrical energy is less than five kilowatts (in relation to the organization of metering of used electrical energy) or the maximum volume of consumption of thermal energy of which is less than two tenths of a gigacalorie per hour (in relation to organization of accounting for used thermal energy) (Article 13. p. 1. Federal Law N 261-FZ of November 23, 2009).

13. Can consumers opt out of calculations made on the basis of the GDPR?

Answer: No. Calculations for energy resources should be carried out on the basis of data on the quantitative value of energy resources, determined using metering devices for used energy resources, starting from the month following the month when these metering devices were put into operation (clause 2, Article 13. Federal Law "On Energy Saving and on improving energy efficiency and amending certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation").

14. How do I find out exactly where the ODPA is installed for my home, and who is responsible for providing access to the ODPA if I, as the owner, want to see it?

Answer: On this issue, you can contact the service / management of the apartment building organization.

15. I received an invoice for the payment of expenses for the installation of an ODPU, but I plan to sell the apartment. Who is obliged to pay the costs after the sale?

Answer: After the purchase and sale of the apartment, the new owner must continue to pay the costs of installing the ODPU.

Mandatory installation of a common house metering device (ODPU) is provided for by Russian law. And many residents of Buryatia are still asking for an explanation of what ODPU is, although Federal Law No. 261 “On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” entered into force back in 2009. "New Buryatia" tried to figure out the procedure for paying for the installation of collective metering devices.

So, ODPU is a measuring instrument (a set of measuring instruments and additional equipment), used to determine the volume of a communal resource supplied to an apartment building. Simply put, this is a common house meter that accepts calculations from the entire apartment building. Calculations for energy resources (this includes electricity, water, heat) should be made on the basis of data on their quantitative value, which are determined using meters.

ODPU will be installed by the resource supplying organization

According to the Federal Law "On Energy Saving ...", if before July 1, 2012, collective metering devices were not installed by residents on their own, then companies that supply electricity, water and heat to the houses should have taken up the matter. JSC "TGC-14" specialists, together with management companies and the City Administration, conducted a survey of all residential buildings in Ulan-Ude and identified 186 objects where metering devices should be installed in the first place. In some houses at that time, the owners had already installed the appliances themselves, other houses were excluded due to lack of technical capability.

Simply put, the law clearly states that JSC TGK-14 must install meters - and JSC TGK-14 installed them. Now, according to the law, all tenants must pay JSC "TGC-14" these services for the installation of metering devices.

If the owner is not able to pay for the meter and its installation immediately, then the resource supply organization obligated to grant for payments due up to 5 years. At the same time, the amount of accrued annual interest for this service provided on credit does not exceed the refinancing rate established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation at the time of accrual. You will not get a loan at such low interest rates (8.25%) anywhere now.

An important point. Even paying monthly for heat and hot water, but for some "fundamental" reasons, excluding payments for installing a meter, you can fall into the category of debtors. And then, according to the law, all enforcement measures determined by law can be applied to you. Arrest of property, seizure of a car, deductions from wages, imposing a ban on traveling abroad is far from complete list measures taken against debtors.

How much does it cost to install an ODPU

Here is an example of calculating funds for the installation of common house meters with an installment plan of 60 months for an apartment with an area of ​​58.7 sq. m. We proceed from the cost of installing a meter in an apartment building - RUB 321,193.98. The device was installed in January 2015. At the same time, the total area of ​​​​all apartments in this house is 3456 sq. meters.

First, we determine the cost of installing a meter based on 1 sq. m area of ​​this house: total cost(321,193.98 rubles) divide by total area all apartments (3456 sq. m.). We calculate: 321,193, 98: 3456 = 92.94 rubles.

Communal metering devices in apartment buildings: who should install, pay

We calculate the cost of installing a meter for a particular apartment as follows: we multiply the area of ​​​​this apartment (58.7 sq. M) by the cost of installing a meter per 1 sq. m. m (92.94 rubles). We calculate: 58.7 * 92.94 \u003d 5,455.58 rubles. That is, for this apartment, the cost of installing an ODPU is 5,455.58 rubles.

Then we calculate the monthly payment for 60 months. We divide the resulting cost of installing a common house meter (5,455.58 rubles) by 60 months. And the cost of payment for the meter installed in January 2015 is: 5455.58: 60 months = 90.93 rubles.

For installment payment, an interest is charged, which is determined as follows: 5455.58 * 8.25%: 12 = 37.51 rubles.

Percentage 8.25 - the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, is taken from the Federal Law of November 23, 2009 No. 261.

Total monthly payment (90.93 rubles) + interest for installment payment (37.51 rubles): 90.93 + 37.51 = 128.44 rubles.

For the entire period, the amount of interest for installment payment will be 1143.97 rubles. And for 5 years, the owner of the apartment must pay for the installation of a common house meter: 5455.58 rubles. + RUB 1143.97 = 6599.55 rubles.

You can change the timing of the installation amount payment, for example, by splitting payments from 5 years to 2 years. It will be small, but savings in interest. You can also pay the entire remaining amount in a lump sum at any time.

Counter counts, residents save

Now let's give an example of real savings in the consumption of thermal energy after installing the ODPU house on the street. Pushkina, 23. A residential building of the Soviet period of construction, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house is 5567.6 square meters. m, the number of apartments is 120. A common house metering device in this house was installed in 2012.

The first adjustment of the payment for heating according to indications for 2012 was carried out at the beginning of 2013. Accrual according to the standard for 2012 for the entire house amounted to 2 million 165 thousand rubles, in fact, according to the readings of the meter, the house consumed heat energy for 1 million 138 thousand rubles, i.e. savings amounted to 1 million 027 thousand rubles. Thus, on each personal account of JSC "TGC-14" were returned cash depending on the size of the apartment.

Adjustments were made to this house in both 2014 and 2015. As noted in the branch "Teploenergosbyt of Buryatia", there will be no "huge" savings in the house, because consumption during different heating periods depends only on the outside temperature, however, in 2014, 233 thousand rubles were returned to consumers' personal accounts. , and in 2015 - 98 thousand rubles.

In order to account for the full consumption of utilities throughout the house, to identify the fact of a shortage, general house accounting tools are being installed today. However, who pays the costs of installing and maintaining such equipment: the residents themselves or is it still a utility organization? Consider these and some other problems of installing common house meters.

Household metering devices

To begin with, it is worth noting that the decision to install accounting equipment for collective purposes in apartment buildings was made back in 2009. This rule was enshrined in the Law "On energy supply and energy efficiency." However, the rule itself began to operate from mid-2012.

The law establishes that the installation of such devices is not mandatory, but is advisory in nature. Thus, those who live in MKD can install such equipment at their own discretion.

cold water

To install common metering equipment for the whole house to account for the consumption of cold water, it is necessary that the water supply system in the house be unified. So, if part of the living quarters in the house is supplied with water from another system, then the device cannot be installed.

Although from an engineering point of view the problem is recognized as solvable, from a legal point of view there is a conflict between the decision of the residents themselves and the position of the utility organization. As a rule, if the house is provided with water from two or more water supply systems, then several utility organizations provide this service.

In this situation, it will be problematic to keep a general record of water consumption in the entire apartment building. The most important thing is to choose the right water meter.

Hot water

FROM hot water when installing a hot water meter for the whole house, about the same problem. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the supplying utility organization keeps records of the hot at the exit.

Thus, it is necessary to clarify with the communal organization whether hot water is accounted for at the exit, because in this case, the installation of common house accounting equipment will lose its meaning.

On the other hand, residents will be able to use such a device to check the correctness of the receipts sent to them.

General house heat energy meters

For heat energy metering, no thermal energy FSLs have been established. As a rule, the obligation to pay for heat is fulfilled in accordance with the standards established by the relevant regional authorities.

The specified standards are calculated for the area of ​​\u200b\u200beach heated room, from which the amount payable is added. Thus, it seems impossible to carry out a general accounting of thermal energy in an apartment building, since not all rooms in it are heated.

However, the law establishes that now the consumption of thermal energy will be taken into account with the help of metering equipment installed at the energy hub.

Electricity

Keeping a general account of electricity is much easier than with other types of utilities. So, no matter how many sources of electricity are connected to the house, general accounting can be carried out simply by drawing a common line through them all.

At the same time, the tenants bear an additional burden in the form of additional payments for electricity. After all, electricity tends to be consumed when transmitted through wires. So the discrepancies in the readings of the total meter and the total readings of all residents' meters will be large.

Another question is who exactly will pay for this discrepancy? Who is the responsible person?

Installation of common house meters in apartment buildings

Order installation of such equipment has a general regulation. So, in general, the process consists of the following steps:

1. Making a decision on the installation of devices for general accounting for the whole house, at a meeting of all residents of the MKD.
2. Acquisition of an appropriate counter.
3. Contacting an authorized utility organization to coordinate the installation of the meter.
4. Direct installation of the meter in the presence of representatives of the utility organization or their specialists.

The counter can be installed by any specialist. However, until the utility organization ascertains the quality and correct operation of the equipment, which is confirmed by the presence of a certificate of conformity and seals it, its testimony will not be recognized.

Who should install common house meters

So, who should install the ODPU? The Federal Law quite clearly obliges the list of persons who must install a common house heat meter. Thus, in accordance with the previously mentioned Law, the ODPU are obliged to establish:

• building owners;
• state bodies.

The owners are obliged to install the equipment in question in their buildings, when as state bodies they are responsible for the installation of such a meter in the buildings provided to them by the state for the implementation of their activities and under their economic jurisdiction.

All owners in Russia have been given until January 1, 2011 to equip their buildings with common metering devices.

However, the joined regions of Russia - the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol were given a deadline until January 1, 2019.

It is also worth noting that the installation of such a meter is carried out without fail immediately after the commissioning of the building, regardless of whether a major overhaul was carried out or the building is newly erected. The organization carrying out major repairs or construction is responsible for the installation of such equipment.

Who should pay for the installation of common house meters

So, who should pay for the installation of common house meters? In accordance with the legislation, the costs of installing common accounting equipment in apartment buildings and non-residential buildings must be borne by the owners of these buildings themselves or by the state bodies in charge of the respective buildings.

However, the law gives regional authorities the authority to finance such events at the expense of regional budgets at their discretion. Local administrations of all settlements of Russia are endowed with the same authority.

If the owners refuse to pay for the installation

In cases where the owners of residential premises in apartment buildings refuse to pay for the installation of the relevant equipment, it will be carried out at the expense of the housing organization. In cases where the role of a housing organization is performed by a partnership of these owners, the installation is carried out at the expense of the local budget.

However, in the future, the cost of installing and operating this equipment will be included in the bills of public utilities and apartment owners will still have to pay. For this reason, it is better to carry out the installation immediately at the expense of the housing organization, which is directly responsible for ensuring the operation of the apartment building in accordance with the requirements of the law.

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

The current repair of apartment buildings is a planned event aimed at eliminating problems that arise during the operation of the building. So the funds raised for Maintenance, cannot be spent on installing a meter, since its absence is not some kind of sudden problem that seriously interferes with the operation of the dwelling.

In some cases, these funds can still be used for such expenses. But for this, it is necessary to obtain a decision from the meeting of apartment building owners and coordinate actions with the housing organization.

The procedure for installing a common house metering device

Installation of ODPU is carried out in the following order:

1. The owners acquire the appropriate accounting equipment, which has a certificate of compliance with the regulations established in the Customs Union.
2. Representatives and specialists of the relevant municipal organization are invited to install and seal the metering equipment with their own means.

It is worth noting that the relevant utility organizations themselves provide a metering device that has already been certified. Installing their equipment will help to quickly carry out the procedure and avoid many disagreements about the quality of work of a particular meter.

When is the commissioning of a common house metering device

Common house meters are put into operation after sealing takes place. That is, from this moment on, the equipment begins to keep records of utility services spent on general house needs.

However, for official commissioning, it is necessary to draw up an appropriate act. It is signed by a responsible employee of the housing organization and a representative of public utilities.

Of course, owners can install a meter without notifying the utility company.

However, in this case, this equipment will not be included in the dispatching system and maintenance will not be performed on it. That is, the tenants themselves will have to pay ongoing maintenance counter.

GAAP-benefits for MKD

The main advantage of installing common house meters is that residents will be able to save money on expenses for common house needs. So, they can only pay for the energy consumption that occurs inside the house.

• only leakage occurring inside the building will be taken into account;
• public utilities will no longer be able to distribute the shortage they have formed among the tenants;
• management companies will not be able to overstate the cost of services for common house needs at their discretion without specific facts, etc.

That is, the installation of ODPU will allow residents to pay only for the energy actually consumed. Without this, the distribution will proceed according to the standard, which, as it turned out, forms a much higher cost than the actual expenses for general house needs in apartment buildings.

It is fashionable to engage in energy efficiency. For this, you can get praise even from the head of the Ministry of Construction. And it is obligatory and even profitable to engage in energy efficiency in small MKDs, since the opposite will lead to losses and fines. Don't believe? Especially for you, in 2017, the state prepared a “gift” in the form of an obligation to supply common house heat energy meters on MKD, the maximum volume of heat energy consumption in which is less than 0.2 Gigacalories per hour.

Many of you know that in MKD, the maximum volume of thermal energy consumption in which is less than 0.2 Gigacalories per hour, common house meters (hereinafter referred to as ODPU) for thermal energy can not be set. This, they say, is spelled out in the Federal Law of November 23, 2009 No. 261-FZ “On Energy Saving and on Increasing Energy Efficiency and on Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as -261-FZ).

I hasten to upset, but this is no longer the case.

From July 31, 2017, a new edition of 261-FZ is in force. According to paragraph 8 of Article 13 of 261-FZ, owners of premises in an MKD, the maximum volume of thermal energy consumption of which is less than 0.2 Gcal per hour, about are obliged to equip such facilities with metering devices for used thermal energy, as well as to put the installed metering devices into operation.

In the new edition of 261-FZ, before July 01, 2018, resource supplying organizations are required to submit proposals to owners of premises in MKDs (under direct contracts) or managing organizations (HOA) on equipping MKDs with a maximum volume of heat energy consumption of less than 0.2 Gcal per hour with metering devices used thermal energy (clause 10, article 13 261-FZ).

In turn, the managing organizations and HOAs are obliged to inform the owners of the premises about the proposals received from the RNO at the ODPU unit. (clause 10, article 13 261-FZ).

Please note that in case of failure to notify the owners of the premises by the managing organization (HOA) about the proposals of the RSO for the installation of ODPU, the managing organization (HOA) may be held liable under paragraph 5 of article 9.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in the form of an administrative fine for legal entities from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles .

As practice has shown, RNOs are not particularly in a hurry to install an ODPU for thermal energy on MKD. The reason for the sluggishness is simple - you can make good money on this RSO.

From January 01, 2017, a new version of the Rules is in force, which are mandatory when concluding a contract for the supply of communal resources, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2012 No. 124 (hereinafter referred to as Rules 124). According to paragraph 22 of Rule 124, if there is a responsibilities and technical ability to install in the MKD ODPU and its absence, RCO has the right to apply in the calculations for the delivered in the MKD thermal energy increasing coefficient, the value of which is set at a rate equal to 1.1.

The problem is that the managing organization (HOA) cannot “re-charge” the cost of thermal energy to the owners of the premises in the form of a multiplying factor, which means that every month the managing organization will incur losses in the amount of 10% of the cost of the thermal energy supplied to the MKD.

MKD with a large area of ​​​​premises in the territory of the Russian Federation are mostly equipped, but with the "trifle" over the next year there will be problems:

According to 261-FZ RSO, after installing the ODPU in the MKD, is obliged to provide the owners with an installment plan for premises in the MKD, which means that first it is necessary due to working capital install ODPU, and then wait 5 years, when the owners of the premises will pay off the RSO. This "injustice" for the RSO, which consists in the obligation to comply with the requirements federal law, constantly “corrects” the most fair Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in the world, forcing not the owners of the premises, but the managing organizations and homeowners associations to pay for the ODPU. That is, the RSO can be used small houses, and expose the entire cost of the ODPU to the managing organization (HOA) without providing an installment plan for payment.

The multiplying coefficient is not applied if there is an inspection report to establish the presence (absence) of the technical feasibility of the ODPU installation, which means that in order not to “hit” the coefficient, the managing organization has a year to draw up such acts. The procedure for determining the criteria for the presence (absence) of the technical feasibility of installing individual, common (apartment), collective (common house) metering devices, as well as the form of the survey report to determine the presence (absence) of the technical feasibility of installing such metering devices and the procedure for filling it out is established by Order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 29, 2011 No. 627

The legislator has not clearly defined how exactly the management organizations and HOAs should inform the owners of the premises about the proposals received from the RSO for the installation of the ODPU. As I see it optimal way will be the inclusion of the issue of the need to install an ODPU in the agenda of the general meeting of the owners of the premises.

In addition to all of the above, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the opportunity to set the cost of the ODPU to the owners of the premises in the MKD depends primarily on what caused the installation of ODPU:

If the owners have decided to install ODPU, its cost is paid by the owners in the manner prescribed by the decision of the general meeting.

If the ODPU is established by the managing organization (HOA) on the basis of an order supervisory authority , then it will most likely not be possible for the owners of the premises to set the cost of the ODPU, since the installation of the ODPU is an energy-saving measure, which means that they must be carried out by the managing organization (HOA) independently (Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of September 29, 2010 N 6464/10 in case N A08 -4962 / 2009-27, paragraphs "and" paragraph 10 of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 No. 491).

If the ODPU installs the RSO and sets the cost of the ODPU to the managing organization (HOA), then the installment plan for the owners of the premises should be provided by the managing organization (HOA).

And finally.

There is a lovely document, namely the Order of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation of 04/07/2010 No. 149 "On approval of the procedure for concluding and essential terms of the contract governing the conditions for the installation, replacement and (or) operation of metering devices for used energy resources." Read this order at your leisure, especially since with its help you can force RSO to install ODPU or give an act on the impossibility of installing ODPU, which will protect against a multiplying factor.

Not all the RSO rejoice ...

Sincerely, Kochetkov Yuri.
