City heating authorities address public inquiries concerning the municipality's heating system.
The city is gearing up for the annual transition to the heating season, a process managed by the company SGC, responsible for supplying heat to apartments across the city.
Before the heating season officially begins, managing companies are required to complete all necessary work on domestic equipment that could potentially hinder the heat supply to residents' homes. This includes checks and adjustments to ensure the smooth operation of the heating system.
Residents may feel the cold and demand heating, but it's important to note that the heating season is not triggered by resident demands, but by the decision of local authorities. The official start of the heating season is marked when the average daily temperature falls to 8°C or lower for five consecutive days.
The heating connection in the city happens in stages, with different houses getting heat at different times. This is due to the complexity of the heating system and the potential for defects, which can cause delays. Adjustments to heating modes are common during the initial stage of heating, ensuring the system operates efficiently and effectively.
It's not uncommon for residents to have varying perceptions of cold weather, leading to discussions about whether the heating should already be turned on. However, it's crucial to remember that the decision to start the heating season is made by local authorities, not heat energy providers.
Social facilities such as hospitals, schools, and kindergartens are connected to heating before residential buildings and other structures. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the most vulnerable members of our community.
The municipal heating network covering the entire city area of Moscow was officially put into operation during the Soviet era. Since then, the centralized district heating system has been in continuous operation and development, but no specific official opening date for the entire citywide network can be pinpointed from current public sources.
The rules for providing communal services in the country, approved by the Russian government decree No. 354, ensure that heat energy is supplied to apartments only after local authorities sign a decree.
During the initial stage of heating, there is a possibility of increased illness rates due to the transition from cooler to warmer temperatures. It's important for residents to take precautions to stay healthy during this period, such as maintaining good hygiene, keeping warm, and getting enough rest.
In conclusion, the arrival of the heating season in the city is a carefully managed process, ensuring the comfort and safety of all residents. By understanding the process and the role of local authorities and service providers, we can better navigate this annual transition.
