If you installed heat meters and forgot about them, hoping that they will work quietly without checks, then you risk noticing a breakdown too late. Timely maintenance of heat meters, which is precisely aimed at identifying any problems with the equipment, will help to avoid this.
Many companies, offering the purchase and installation of heat metering devices, do not provide further UUTE maintenance in the future. In contrast, our company, after installation, maintenance of heat metering units. Like any complex equipment operating in difficult conditions, heat meters require increased attention. Our specialists will be able to timely inspect your devices and check them for any problems. And if a breakdown is detected, they will be able to offer the most probable solutions to the problem that has arisen.

Do not forget about the service of heat meters

It may seem like a mere trifle - skipping a scheduled technical inspection. What happens in reality? You may find that any deviation from the basic plan for regular maintenance of heat metering units will cause a missed problem. And if it could be easily repaired when found, then after that it may require replacement of all equipment as a whole.
This, of course, I would like to avoid. Therefore, competent specialists will always offer you to make a service UUTE service some time after installation. You will be able to save by providing yourself with maximum working capacity. long time equipment.
A small investment in the maintenance of a heat metering unit will always save you from the need to make expensive repairs. And thus your facility will be provided with the necessary requirements. Russian legislation heat energy metering devices that will serve you for a long time without replacing them. And contacting an experienced company will save you from unnecessary costs and prove to you that timely maintenance of UUTE is of considerable importance and should be carried out regularly.
The cost of maintenance services for a heat metering unit:

List of works included in the service:
1) Monthly taking readings and submitting them to the heat supply organization;
2) Analysis of readings and issuance of recommendations for the operation of internal networks;
3) Registration of acts of re-admission with representatives of the heat supply organization
4) Routine maintenance - checking the integrity of seals, adding oil, checking grounding contacts, checking flange and coupling connections, checking the condition of electrical wiring to thermistors, flow sensors and power supply;
5) Intermediate check of the heat energy metering unit;
6) Checking the performance of devices:
a) Assessment of the current measurement error of the flow rate on the supply and return pipelines;
b) Comparison of the temperatures of resistance thermocouples with temperatures on alcohol (mercury, bimetallic, etc.) thermometers;
c) Reading the error codes of emergency and abnormal situations accumulated by the calculator and their analysis.
7) Minor repairs:
a) replacement of AP, fuses;
b) checking the interface;
c) replacement of measuring and computing units;
d) evaluation of pressure sensors.
8) In case of failure of devices - dismantling with sending to the manufacturer, installation after repair, commissioning, calling a representative of the heat supply organization to issue an admission certificate.

Building pressure testing. Preparation for the heating season of the building.

Service the implementation of common house metering units in apartment buildings, homeowners' associations, housing cooperatives, management companies, organizations and enterprises.

The warranty period for the devices included in the metering unit is from 1.5 to 4 years. As a rule, the instrument manufacturer indicates that it bears warranty obligations, if installation, commissioning work was carried out by a specialized organization.

If the installation of metering units is carried out within the framework of a municipal program, then on the basis of a competitive selection: with several such specialized organizations, a municipal contract is concluded, the conditions of which are the requirement - to provide a five-year guarantee for the work and equipment performed.

Specialized organizations, often service centers of manufacturers' factories, sign under such a contract, thereby extending the warranty period up to five years at their own risk. At the same time, they expect that it is they who will be engaged in the maintenance of the metering units mounted by them.

The other side of the municipal contract presents the prospect differently: the units are brand new and serviceable, and if something breaks, then there is a five-year warranty. Hence, further operation in the next five years is no more difficult than collecting readings from meters at the end of the reporting period.

Apparently, the very idea of ​​paying money for the maintenance of metering units to an enterprise that performed the installation and gave a five-year guarantee for the work performed seems absurd.

Based on such a simplified concept of the further operation of metering stations, the tariff includes 16 kopecks per square meter for service. This is about 500 rubles a month for the maintenance of metering units of one MKD.

For the provision of maintenance services, a new organization"The best service organization in the city of Vladimir" (conditionally), which, under an agreement with management companies, undertakes to monitor the condition of the seals twice a month and shut-off valves, as well as collect meter readings at the end of each month.

Service centers, one of which we are, offer a really necessary set of services average cost RUB 1,500 - 3,500 per month per metering unit, but most of management companies give preference to "five hundred rubles", without delving into the contents of the agreements.

However, two or three months later, a mass refusal of the services of the "Best Service Organization of the City of Vladimir" began and the transition to the services of service centers, that is, to the services of specialized organizations trained by the manufacturer.

What is the reason? The reason was that the energy supplying organization refused to accept for calculations the readings of many metering units, which were taken by the "Best Service Organization of the City of Vladimir", we note, with a preliminary examination of the condition of the seals and valves.

If the "Best Service Organization of the City of Vladimir" has fulfilled its contractual obligations in in full, the warranty for devices and installation is valid, and there is no commercial accounting, then the reason is apparently in wrong work service organization.

Considering that there is a massive introduction of metering units in the country, I believe that this story may turn out to be useful topics who has to deal with the maintenance of metering units or the organization of service.

How to organize maintenance so that the meter readings are accepted by the energy supplying organization?

Let's start with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of July 27, 2010 No. 190-FZ "On Heat Supply". Article 19. Organization of commercial metering of heat energy, heat carrier, establishes that the organization of commercial metering may include:

1) installation of metering devices;

2) operation of metering devices, including taking meter readings and transferring them to customers of this service, checking, repairing and replacing metering devices.

Another document. Thermal energy and heat carrier accounting rules from 1995. Clause 9.3. "Work on the maintenance of the metering unit, related to the dismantling, calibration, installation and repair of equipment, must be performed by the personnel of specialized organizations ...".

It follows that, in addition to taking meter readings, it is necessary for the service organization to include the performance of services for the repair and replacement of metering devices, regardless of the availability of guarantees from the installation organization and the manufacturer. Warranty repair will be produced free of charge, but first the service organization must establish that the reason is precisely the malfunction of the device. Next, correctly draw up a complaint, dismantle the device, and replace the device sent for repair with a serviceable device from its reserve replacement fund.

Verification of measuring instruments, in accordance with Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Ensuring the Uniformity of Measurements", is carried out by legal entities accredited in accordance with the established procedure in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements. Service organizations do not have such accreditation, but for instruments for verification, they must be properly dismantled, prepared for verification and, after verification, reassembled in the metering unit. Therefore, it is advisable to include this position in the responsibility of the service organization.

But that is not all. Heat supply - complex technological process... Hence the complex commercial accounting. The readings of serviceable devices may not always be accepted for commercial calculations. Reasons?

Article 2 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of July 27, 2010 No. 190-FZ "On Heat Supply" establishes the following concepts:

The quality of heat supply is a set of established regulatory legal acts RF and (or) a heat supply agreement for heat supply characteristics, including the thermodynamic parameters of the heat carrier.

The mode of consumption of thermal energy is the process of consumption of thermal energy, a heat carrier with the observance by the consumer of thermal energy of the mandatory characteristics of this process in accordance with legal acts, including technical regulations and terms of the heat supply agreement.

Article 15 of the same law stipulates that the heat supply contract must determine, inter alia:

The value of the heat load of the consumer's heat-consuming installations, the parameters of the quality of heat supply, the mode of consumption of heat energy;

Responsibility of the parties for non-compliance with the requirements for the quality parameters of heat supply, violation of the mode of consumption of heat energy, including liability for violation of conditions on the quantity, quality and values ​​of thermodynamic parameters of the returned coolant.

Thermal energy and heat carrier accounting rules from 1995. Clause 1.3. establishes that calculations for the heat received are carried out on the basis of the readings of metering devices and monitoring the parameters of the coolant. Clause 1.4. establishes that mutual obligations for settlements for heat energy and coolant, as well as for compliance with the modes of supply and consumption of thermal energy and coolant are determined by the contract ....

Since it is obvious that non-compliance with consumption regimes will negatively affect energy efficiency, then we will point out article 9.16. Of the RF Code of Administrative Offenses, which establishes responsibility for non-compliance with the energy efficiency requirements for MKD.

From the above links it follows that the consumer can settle with the energy supplying organization according to the readings of metering devices only if there are no violations of the consumption regime, there are no violations of the "conditions on the quantity, quality and values ​​of the thermodynamic parameters of the returned coolant." Otherwise - a fine, or the accrual of an additional amount, it all depends on the heat supply contract. There is another option - the withdrawal of metering devices from operation, with the ensuing consequences. Let's consider this option in more detail, since it is related to the maintenance of metering units.

So, the power supply organization determines the presence of mode deviations based on the readings of metering devices. Doubt is legitimate here. Is there really a violation in the in-house system that was registered by the device, or is the device lying, but everything is in order in the system?

Let's turn to everyday experience. Are we aware of cases of coolant leaks in indoor systems? Yes. What should the device fix? It will record the difference in mass between the coolant received from the system and returned back to the system. Is this a violation of the regime? Yes.

Are there any known cases of imbalance in the hydraulics of the in-house system? Yes, many people know that when it is cold in some of the apartments, you need to complain, then the nozzle limiting the flow rate of the coolant will be bored. It will become warm in "cold" apartments, and hot in "warm" ones, but excess heat can be easily removed through the window. What will the device register? Violation of "conditions on the quantity, quality and values ​​of the thermodynamic parameters of the returned coolant."

Is there another solution known - to drain the coolant from the return pipeline into the sewer? What should the device fix? The mass difference between the received and returned coolant. Is this a violation? Of course.

If everyone knows that the state of in-house engineering systems is far from perfect, then can we say that guaranteed, certified devices with seals can be trusted without a doubt?

Unfortunately no. If there are malfunctions of in-house systems, then there is also their repair. During welding, plumbing work, scale, rust, pieces of rubber, and other foreign objects get into the system: they get stuck in the metering unit and create conditions unacceptable for the operation of devices, which leads to a loss of measurement accuracy. The device does not require repair, but its operating conditions must be restored.

We conclude that the reason for the instrument readings unsatisfying the energy supplying organization can be either a malfunction in the system or a loss of measurement accuracy.

How does the energy supplying organization resolve these doubts? Just. When monitoring the consumption regime for commercial metering purposes, the energy supplying organization is indifferent to the real cause of the malfunction, it considers only the actual readings of the devices, and not the reasons that led to such readings.

If the reliability of the readings of the devices is in doubt, then the power supply organization can withdraw the unit from commercial accounting, referring to clause 9.10. Accounting rules TEiT "work outside the accuracy standards."

For example, in a closed system, by definition, there should be no mass difference between the supply and return pipelines. If there is a difference, the device is defective. This is the logic. The logic is permissible, since both the appliances and the indoor system are outside the responsibility of the energy supplying organization.

We have come to a key point. The energy supplying organization takes metering units out of operation only when it has reason to doubt the reliability of the readings of the devices, because these readings do not meet the expectations of a normal process.

Output. This means that there should be no evidence that can be doubted. No falsifications! There is another only correct solution. You need a service technology that allows you to monitor the readings and eliminate the causes of doubtful readings as soon as they arise.

This conclusion underlies the organization of maintenance of metering units by our company.

The main task of the service is to ensure the normal, continuous operation of metering units, in which all parties trust the accounting results. Whether they like or dislike the results of the accounting, and the parties trust (are forced to trust) the results - these are different concepts.

We go to the area practical implementation this task.

To address the causes of doubtful indications as they arise, it is necessary to identify them as they arise. This means that software and hardware tools are needed that allow continuous monitoring of the parameters of all metering units at an acceptable pace for solving the task. Without the ability to monitor, the task is impossible!

We use an automated data collection system as the top-level system and data transmission equipment. With some of the metering nodes, communication is carried out via modems. Data collection is carried out automatically every day at night hours after midnight. At the operator's request, readings can be downloaded at any time.

The key figure is the person in charge of dispatching functions. This is an analyst who is able to see the process of heat and water supply and deviations of consumption modes behind columns of numbers and multi-colored graphs of parameters. Some deviations of the parameters are determined automatically by the program, but the human brain remains the most powerful analytical apparatus.

Control is not limited to a primitive assessment - "there are indications" or "no indications". The absence of indications is an unpleasant, but the simplest case, when the cause can be easily identified and quickly eliminated. It is more difficult when there is evidence. How do you know if this testimony can be trusted?

Since it is impossible to determine the metrological characteristics of the instruments at the place of operation, the "quality factor" of the readings is continuously assessed. By "quality factor" of readings we mean compliance with the expectations of the magnitude and dynamics of changes in controlled parameters over time, as well as the relationship of changes between dependent parameters.

If readings are found that do not meet the "quality factor" criteria, the dispatcher sends operational personnel to the object, who on the spot finally finds out what caused such readings - incorrect measurements of the normal mode or correct changes in the abnormal mode.

Thanks to monitoring, the personnel sent to the site know in advance what actions they should take, and have spare parts with them for replacement, if necessary.

It is important that the staff knows not only the devices, but is able to determine and reasonably prove a malfunction in the in-house system with the receipt of a confirmation signature from the representative of the management company. This stimulates (but does not guarantee!) The efficiency of troubleshooting in the intra-house network and protects the service organization from claims to metering devices.

So, the key point of service is that the service, management and resource-supplying organizations equally trust or do not trust the readings of metering devices, evaluating their quality factor.

If the service and management organization promptly eliminate the causes that resulted in bad readings, then commercial accounting becomes continuous and long-term.

Let's summarize minimum requirements to be met by a service organization capable of providing long-term and continuous custody transfer:

The organization must have the technical ability to continuously monitor the serviced metering units;

The organization should have trained personnel capable of evaluating the “goodness” of the monitoring readings;

The organization must have trained personnel who can distinguish on-site malfunctions of the heat supply process from malfunctions of metering devices;

The organization must have personnel trained by the manufacturer of the devices, admitted to the maintenance and minor repairs of these devices;

The organization must have a sufficient reserve fund for prompt replacement of faulty devices;

The organization should be the service center of the manufacturer, the devices of which it serves;

The organization must have many years of experience in this area.

If someone today is having difficulties in choosing a service organization for organizing maintenance of metering units, then I recommend taking into account the stated requirements or simply contacting our organization Energouchet LLC. This will save you from many unnecessary problems that interfere with real energy saving.

Based on the above, we carry out the following works:

1. Periodic maintenance of heat energy metering unit devices (inspection, reading and analysis of readings, adjustment, adjustment, minor current repairs, checking electrical connections, checking the oil level in the thermometer sleeves).

2. Printout of heat consumption statements, drawing up a report and protecting it in a heat supply organization.

3. Maintenance work: dismantling, installation, cleaning of devices.

4. Verification and pre-verification preparation of devices (tracking the timing of state verification).

5. Replacement of devices.

6. Repair of devices.

7. Start-up and adjustment works at the heat energy metering unit. Commissioning for an inspector of a heat supply organization. Drawing up an act of readiness.

8. Calling the inspector of the heat supply organization for the delivery of the heat metering unit (presence of a representative when checking the heat meter by the power supply organization).

9. Correct operation of the heat meter, leaks, overheating, underflow.

10. Monthly analysis of meter readings.

11. Analytical work to identify non-standard (new) reasons for the failure of devices and restore functionality, etc.

At the moment, the service price is in the range from 500 to 5500 rubles per month for one heat meter. The price is formed from the specific wishes of the Customer and the number and types of work that he wants to see at his facility. We are ready to adapt to each of our customers.

The Association assists in the provision of services in the sale of timber: at favorable prices for permanent basis... Timber products are of excellent quality.

Household metering devices (ODPU) are used to record the consumption of water, gas, electricity or heat energy throughout apartment building... Today, their installation cannot be called a whim, it is a necessity dictated by law. It has been operating for six years, but the equipping of apartment buildings with such meters is extremely slow.

In this article, you will learn:

• What are the features of installing general house metering devices.
• Who pays for the installation of ODPU.
• Who provides maintenance of common metering devices in apartment buildings.
• What services are included in the maintenance of general house metering devices.
• What is the maintenance of general house metering devices.
• In what order is the check and replacement of the ODPU carried out.
• Who pays for the maintenance of common house metering devices.
• What is the responsibility for poor-quality maintenance of common house metering devices.

Maintenance of common house metering devices remains a serious topic: who does this and who pays for the work. From August 6, 2017, housing inspectors began to check the availability of general house metering devices in the MKD. If the ODPU is not found, they issue instructions to establish or fine. In order not to receive a fine, study the arguments for the inspectors in your favor.

Installation and maintenance of general house metering devices

Usually ODUs are used for water, thermal energy, electricity, gas. Their installation is carried out in technical rooms, such as basements, utility rooms. That is, where unauthorized citizens cannot enter and harm the devices.

Now devices are provided for such resources:

1. Thermal energy- tachometric, vortex, ultrasonic, electromagnetic counter. In our country, their installation began in 2009, after the appearance of the law on the supply of buildings with heat metering devices. The increase in tariffs also served as an incentive for the population to control heating in this way. Note that the collective meter is installed solely by the decision of the meeting of residents.
2. Electricity... There are individual, multi-tariff devices. The second option really allows you to reduce the cost of paying for electricity. The principle of its operation is that at night the tariff is significantly lower than during the day. During the hours of the most active use of the resource, that is, 7:00 - 10:00 and 17:00 - 19:00, the payment increases.
3. Cold, hot water... The system records the volume of fluid consumed per all residents, not just those registered in the apartment.

In 2009, Federal Law No. 261-F3 came out on the mandatory installation of general house meters. As a result, 2012 was set as the deadline for equipping high-rise buildings with them. However, in a considerable number of houses this procedure has not yet been carried out.

For this reason, in 2015, it was decided that it was time financial methods influence citizens who refuse to install such devices.

If in an apartment building all the standards for the installation of general house meters are met, but there are no devices themselves, when calculating utility bills the actual amount is multiplied by the multiplying factor. Note that an increase in costs by 10-60% is possible. Such tough measures were taken solely in order to quickly complete the process of equipping multi-apartment buildings with the ODPU.

The difficulty is that the installation of devices is carried out on the basis of the decision of the meeting of homeowners. The Criminal Code is obliged to inform the owners that it is necessary to install a general house meter and that it is profitable. And also transfer information regarding possible fines and other sanctions for refusing to apply it.

The Criminal Code has no right to force homeowners to accept definite decision... This means that when the management company is unable to explain the need for ODPU, the meeting will not agree to the installation of equipment. The reason is simple: usually the decision is made taking into account the fact that payment for the device, installation is carried out at the expense of the owners.

But we note that the collective meter is included in the common house property, its use is for the benefit of the residents, that is, it is fair that they are responsible for the purchase and installation costs. Let us also emphasize the fact that the high cost in the case of distribution to apartments turns out to be acceptable.

Price including installation, but without maintenance, for example, a general house metering device cold water changes under the influence of several characteristics:

• cross-section of pipes of the water supply system;
• volume of passing fluid;
• house area, number of apartments;
• technical conditions fixed in the design of the installation;
• size, type, equipment of the ODU;
• technical, other nuances of installation.

All required documentation, the calculations are prepared by the company responsible for the supply of the resource (in our example, cold water). Alternatively, a specially hired contractor can carry out the work.

Recall that common house meters are mounted in basements, next to the main communications of most houses. An exception is sometimes made by general electricity metering devices, they can be located in equipped switchboard rooms if the latter are available.

Expert opinion

Why is the installation of an ODPU beneficial for the management company

Lyubov Chesnokova,

editor-in-chief of the magazine "Management of an apartment building"

Without the use of metering devices, calculations are made according to the standards for the consumption of utilities, because of this, the cost turns out to be higher.

In August, two more reasons appeared to install meters and an automated information and measurement system for metering the consumption of energy resources and utilities in the MKD.

• First, it is currently allowed to start using it at the expense of the capital repair fund. There is only one condition - the constituent entity of the Russian Federation must enter the service into the list of works for the overhaul of common property in the MKD, which is indicated in part 2 of Art. 166 Housing Code RF.
• Secondly, if the MKD has an automated information and measurement accounting system with the ability to take readings at once, the payment for the RC at the SOI is set in accordance with these data. That is, the tenants no longer need a meeting and a separate discussion of this issue.

Who pays for the installation of ODPU

According to the Federal Law "On Energy Saving", the costs of installing common house metering devices are fully covered by homeowners.

They are obliged to pay bills, in addition to situations when these costs were included in the amount for the maintenance, repair of a dwelling and (or) in mandatory payments and (or) maintenance fees, current, overhaul common property (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of 13.08.2006 No. 491, p. 38).

An invoice for payment of common house metering devices is presented to each owner. This document includes total cost and information about how much is required from a particular owner.

Expenses here are defined as a proportion proportional to the share in the common ownership of the joint property. To calculate it, the total area of ​​the premises is divided by the entire footage of the house, multiplied by the area of ​​common property.

Let's say the area of ​​an apartment is 100 m², the area of ​​a house is 9,000 m², the area of ​​common property is 1,500 m². Then the owner's share will be: 100/9000 x 1500 = 16.67 m².

According to the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building, the ODPU is a joint property, entering into in-house engineering systems. That is why, in order to install these metering devices, it is necessary to hold a meeting of the owners of the premises, which we have already talked about more than once. The owners of the apartments are informed about this by the Criminal Code.

Although at the meeting, the management company is only required to familiarize the residents, it will be fined if the owners do not receive information about the need to install metering devices.

In accordance with clause 5 of Article 9.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if the companies responsible for the maintenance of MKD evade the development, communicating information about energy saving measures to homeowners, the supervisory authority sends an order to impose administrative liability in the form of a fine in relation to UK, HOA:

• for an official 5,000-10,000 rubles;
• for a legal entity 20,000-30,000 rubles.

Payment for installation even before the stage of servicing general house metering devices can be carried out in one of the following ways:

1. One-time payment. The entire amount is paid before or after the installation of the meter.
2. Installment plan for 5 years. Then the owner's share for paying for such a device is divided into equal parts and entered in the receipts for utilities for 5 years. But we emphasize that, in addition to the price of the device, you will have to spend funds on interest for installments corresponding to the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
3. At the expense of the contractor of utilities allocated for energy saving measures, increasing energy efficiency.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 of 05/06/2011 "On the provision of utilities to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings" establishes that the contractor of utilities must spend the difference between the standard and the amount of payment, taking into account the increasing coefficient, on energy saving measures.

Since these funds can be directed exclusively to energy saving activities, they have a targeted character of spending. That is, accounting rules require that they be recorded separately from other receipts.

Let's discuss an example. Imagine that according to the standard, 7 m³ of water is required per person per month. If the multiplying coefficient is 1.4, at a tariff of 14.63 rubles. for 1 m³ we get the following figures: 7 x 1.4 x 14.63 = 143.37 rubles.

Whereas the amount without overpayment, according to the standard rate, would have been different: 7 x 14.63 = 102.41 rubles.

This means that the difference between the two above-mentioned amounts: 143.37 - 102.41 = 39.96 rubles. The contractor is obliged to use these funds for energy saving measures.

Installation of a common house metering device is included in the list of energy saving measures. If the owners decide to implement it, and there are earmarked funds on the account of the utility contractor, they must be invested in paying for the ODU and its installation.

Now let's imagine a different picture: the owners refuse to pay for the implementation of the meter. In this case, the devices are compulsorily installed by the resource supplying organization.

Clause 12 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On Energy Saving" obliges the owners to provide the employees of the RNO with access to the places where metering devices are installed and to pay the costs of the work. Refusing, the owners will have to spend more on the compulsory collection of funds.

• Three rules for concluding contracts with resource supplying organizations when receiving / transferring MKD

Who provides maintenance of common metering devices in apartment buildings

The Department of Housing and Utilities of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation explained in its letter that the executor of utilities, that is, the Criminal Code, must serve the common property of the owners of premises in the house, ensure the constant readiness of utilities, including general house metering devices, to supply resources for the provision of utilities to the population.

Regardless of the form of MKD leadership: management company, HOA, housing cooperative or other specialized cooperative, the person who maintains the common property in the house is responsible for ensuring the operation of collective metering devices and compliance with all requirements for them. At the same time, the role of residents is limited to monthly payments for housing and communal services.

In case of identified malfunctions, being responsible for the maintenance and commissioning of such a device, the KU executor is obliged to ensure their elimination within 2 months. This is enshrined in the Federal Law No. 261 of 23.11.2009 "On energy saving and on increasing energy efficiency and on amendments to certain legislative acts RF "(current edition of 13.07.2015).

Even if the issue is not resolved within the above-mentioned period from the date of detection of the malfunction, RSO must begin to use, maintain general house metering devices. And all expenses will go to the owners of the premises in this apartment building.

The provisions of Part 12 of Art. 13 of the Federal Law No. 261 must always be fulfilled when the regulatory authorities detect violations of the requirements for accounting for consumed energy resources with the use of ODU. And also if the person who committed them fails to eliminate them within 2 months from the date of their identification.

The owners of the PDPU must ensure access of the RNO to the metering devices, pay the operating costs. If citizens do not agree to voluntarily contribute these amounts, the latter will be collected compulsorily.

Expert opinion

How to automate data collection from ODPU

A. A. Matveev,

Key Account Manager, Teleofis OJSC

If you want the consumption of energy resources to be calculated without errors, it is necessary to submit the correct data from the general metering device in time. You can simplify your work, facilitate access to these indicators and even save money by installing an automated data collection system.

As the name implies, such a system operates in automatic mode... She can collect information at a certain time from all the general house metering devices connected to it at once. This makes it very convenient to balance all consumers.

An automated system usually includes the following components:

• metering devices equipped with a digital interface, allowing to take readings in automatic mode;
• communication device (modem) for data transmission to the server;
• server for storing information on metering devices;
• software (software) that allows you to collect information, calculate payment.

Communication within the framework of servicing a common house metering device can be used in different ways:

• through a wired connection;
• using a wireless connection;
• through local networks;
• using the Internet.

The most effective way of all of the above, they call the connection of the meter to the Network. It is carried out using an Ethernet adapter or modem.

An Ethernet connection makes it possible to use the Internet available in the house to connect devices. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the cost of other options for communication with the metering device.

Then the Ethernet converters (adapters) connected to the meters are connected via the Network to the data collection server, where they transmit the readings.

Of course, the described method is effective; it does not require installing an expensive optional equipment, but MKD must have access to the Internet.

GPRS terminals will be another option for connecting to an automated data collection system necessary for servicing general house metering devices. They are applied if the facility does not have an internet connection. Such a device establishes a connection between meters and the Network almost everywhere where there is a cellular connection. In other words, it is a universal, reliable, proven method.

If we compare GPRS terminals with a connection via an Ethernet cable, then we can highlight several of their indisputable advantages:

• the cellular communication used here is permanent, does not depend on the infrastructure of the facility;
• this option cannot be a reason for downtime for technical reasons;
• does not require additional investments in service, repair in case of accidents;
• the cellular operator guarantees the reliability of the connection.

Of course, we must not forget what kind of cellular communication you have to pay. However, it is necessary no more than twice a month exclusively for the transmission of small messages when servicing general house metering devices. That is, the costs of a connected meter are calculated in several rubles.

Let's look at the capabilities of automated tools software using the ATM system as an example.

It makes it possible to remotely:

• receive information from metering devices for water, gas, electricity, heat;
• prepare reports automatically at a certain time;
• make amendments, generate new templates for reports;
• place objects on an interactive map;
• access the system from any computer, tablet, if it has Internet access.

What services are included in the maintenance of general house metering devices

In accordance with the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 491 dated August 13, 2006, common property must be serviced and operated in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, maintained in a state that ensures the constant readiness of engineering communications, metering devices for the provision of public services to residents MKD. Recall that the meter is included in the common property. This means that the operation and maintenance of general house metering devices includes:

• commercial registration of the device;
• control taking of readings on a monthly basis;
• control of work, visual inspection of devices to prevent, eliminate malfunctions;
• periodic verification of equipment;
• repair of out-of-order devices;
• drawing up reports on the consumption of energy resources.

What does maintenance of general house metering devices mean?

The rules for maintaining common property in an apartment building and the Rules for the provision of communal services to citizens, approved by decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, determine the following: the operation of common property must be ensured in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a state of constant readiness of engineering communications, metering devices for the provision of utilities to residents of MKD.

The obligations of the owner include ensuring the use of meters in accordance with their technical requirements... That is, the owner of the metering unit must conclude a maintenance contract with the appropriate organization. So, it can be a company that installs the recording equipment, an energy supply company, a management company.

Maintenance, which implies the repair of general house metering devices, is carried out at a specialized enterprise in accordance with the approved technology. After the restoration work, an extraordinary verification of the device is carried out.

Maintenance of general house meters for the consumption of cold, hot water, gas, thermal energy can be conditionally divided into two categories: periodic inspection and preventive measures.

In the first case, the following actions are carried out:

• visiting the object (within one district, council);
• receipt of keys in the control room (ODS);
• transition from the control room to the facility, opening the premises, access to the installation site of the general house metering device;
• determination of the compliance of the operating conditions of measuring instruments, devices, units, their parts with the standards technical documentation manufacturing enterprises;
• visual inspection to check for the absence of mechanical damage, the presence, integrity of the seals;
• checking the reliability of mechanical, electrical connections, the presence of supply voltage;
• determination of the fact and degree of the working state of the unit;
• taking readings, recording them in the journal;
• preliminary assessment of measurement results, errors, identification of the causes of their occurrence, printout, final analysis;
• study of the readings of measuring instruments, determination of the compliance of qualitative and quantitative parameters of heat and water supply with contractual conditions, regulatory documents;
• collection of tools and devices, closing the premises, moving from the facility to the SLM, handing over the keys, transferring the subscriber's questionnaire and recommendations on the operation of internal networks to the SLM and the resource supplying organization.

In the case of preventive maintenance of general house metering devices, the following actions are required:

• getting rid of dust;
• checking for the presence of oil in the protective sleeves of thermal converters, adding it to compensate for losses from drying;
• performance check by closing to failure and opening the regulating parts of valves, valves;
• flushing the flow part of the flow meters;
• cleaning filters from deposits, sand, scale with disassembly, revision;
• starting water from common valves to the corresponding device;
• checking the operation of the counting mechanism of the device.

If the integrity of the seals is violated, 24 hours are given to call the representatives of the supplier and the resource-consuming organization and draw up a tripartite act.

If there is a malfunction of measuring instruments, devices, parts and parts that are part of the metering unit, an application for repair is prepared. If a leak is found in the area of ​​the flange connections with the pipelines, it is necessary to tighten them, if this step did not help, install new gaskets.

• Direct contracts with resource supplying organizations and direct payments for utilities

Maintenance of general house metering devices: checking and replacing meters

Along with other complex devices, the general house meter requires maintenance, periodic monitoring, repair and even sometimes complete replacement. And since it is part of the common house property, the issue of operation is in the jurisdiction of all residents.

But the responsibility does not fall on them privately. They should be helped by the Criminal Code, which has the right to attract qualified specialists from organizations of the required profile. That is, it is the MC that must maintain the technical condition of the ODPU, timely monitor, repair and replace this device.

The company involved in the work must have a certificate for their implementation, admission to the implementation of checks, service, repair, replacement of these devices. Typically, such firms provide maintenance of general house metering devices on an ongoing basis.

They control the serviceability of devices, carry out their repair in case of breakdown, if restoration is impossible, replace the old equipment with new one.

After verification, an act is prepared, including all deviations in the operation of the device, malfunctions (if any), existing options their elimination. This document signed by both parties: a representative of the Criminal Code and the employee who carried out the control measures.

Let us emphasize that the benefits of installing an ODPU are obvious, however, you will have to invest in the device. Residents should take this issue seriously. And even with the slightest doubt, they have the right to demand from the Criminal Code a report on the actions carried out in this area.

The fact is that the use of an untrusted device is prohibited, it is equated by the resource provider to the absence of one. That is, the consumer will feel all the ensuing consequences. For the period of control measures, it is allowed to pay for services at the average consumption.

Expert opinion

Difference between verification of ODU and verification of its readings

Ivan Molchanov,

Verification is a metrological measure, and ODU is a measuring instrument. If we talk about our case, then we are talking about determining the amount of consumed utilities. Verification of measuring instruments implies a set of operations performed to confirm the compliance of instruments with metrological standards. This is established by the Federal Law of 26.06.2008 No. 102-FZ "On ensuring the uniformity of measurements" (hereinafter - Law No. 102-FZ). WITH technical point of view, during verification, maintenance of general house metering devices is carried out with specialized equipment. Measuring instruments (SI) received from production, after repair, sent from abroad, operated and stored are compulsorily verified.

Verification of these devices can be carried out exclusively by accredited legal entities, individual entrepreneurs. This rule established by Law No. 102-FZ. Periodic verification of meters included in the list approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 20.04.2010 No. 250 may be carried out only by the state regional centers of metrology of the FBU TsSM.

Now let's talk about checks. As a KU executor, you carry out inspections of metering devices. But these devices do not belong to the ODU, they are individual counters. You are responsible for checking the status of the IPU, the fact of their presence or absence, the reliability of the information supplied by the consumer. This norm is enshrined in clause 82 of the Rules for the provision of communal services to owners, users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011 No. 354.

Expert opinion

Incorrect operation of the ODU is one of the reasons for the inaccurate readings

Pavel Nikitin,

general manager consortium "LOGIKA-TEPLOENERGOMONTAZH"

The problem of the reliability of the data from the resource consumption counters always remains urgent for the RSO, for the UO, for the end user. There are incredibly many reasons why instrument readings may be inaccurate. The main one can be called not the malicious intent of a certain person, but insufficient professionalism.

Manufacturers of metering devices, fighting for the market and the consumer, have learned how to make fairly accurate, protected devices. But life cycle the latter does not end at the factory. Poor-quality installation, violation of operating standards easily neutralize all the efforts of the manufacturer. This problem is most acute when servicing general household heat metering devices. The fact is that they are much more complicated than household electric meters, water metering units, and to check their working condition it is often necessary to involve additional specialized equipment.

Who pays for the maintenance of common metering devices

If MKD has such devices, residents must pay for their maintenance every month. According to the technical passport of the meter, once every few years, it is necessary to carry out metrological state verification this device... At whose expense does it pass?

Clause 29 of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in MKD, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 13.08.2006 No. 491, establishes: the cost of maintenance, repair of residential premises must ensure the maintenance of common property in accordance with the norms of the laws of the Russian Federation. This includes the costs of maintaining the operability and restoration of in-house engineering systems of electricity, heat, gas, water supply, sewerage, costs of reclaiming payment arrears, obtaining information from meters, maintaining information systems necessary for taking readings, processing, storing information on payments, preparation of all necessary settlement documents.

Subparagraph "k" of paragraph 11 states that the provision of the required operation and maintenance of common house metering devices are carried out within the framework of the maintenance, repair of common property.

We emphasize that the required list of measures established by section 2 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04/03/2013 No. 290 "On the minimum list of services and works necessary to ensure the proper maintenance of common property in the apartment building, and the procedure for their provision and implementation", includes health checks, working condition, adjustment, maintenance of general house metering devices.

Part 1 of Art. 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation defines a list of objects that fall under the concept of common property. Collective counters are included in it, the Criminal Code is responsible for their functioning.

It turns out, according to the norms of the law, the Criminal Code carries out verification, routine maintenance of general house metering devices with funds paid by residents for the maintenance and repair of living quarters.

Systemic interpretation of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the Rules for the maintenance of common property in MKD, the Rules and Regulations technical exploitation of the housing stock is as follows: all current, urgent, mandatory seasonal activities are provided for by the MKD management agreement, conducted by the Criminal Code, regardless of whether such works are present in the above-mentioned list.

In other words, it is impossible to demand from the tenants of the house to pay for repairs, verification of general house metering devices, since this money is included in the maintenance and repair of the common property of the MKD. This norm is established by Part 1, Part 2.3 of Article 161 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, sub. "K" clause 11, clause 29 of Rules No. 491, section 2 of the Rules and norms for the technical operation of the housing stock.

Such actions of the Criminal Code are contrary to the requirements of sub. "G" clause 4 of the Rules for the implementation of activities for the management of apartment buildings, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 416 of 05.15.2013. , repair of common property in MKD, this also includes measures for the management of the house, utilities. The calculation of mandatory payments for maintenance, repair of common property in apartment blocks, utilities are taken into account.

Article 7.23.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation establishes the administrative responsibility of officials, legal entities in case of non-compliance by organizations, individual entrepreneurs, managing MKD under the relevant agreements, the rules of maintenance entrepreneurial activity aimed at servicing MKD.

The State Housing Inspectorate is responsible for the suppression of such illegal actions, which issues the Criminal Code orders to eliminate non-compliance with the norms, draws up protocols on administrative offenses. Responsibility for the latter is provided for by Art. 7.23.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and suggests for officials administrative penalty RUB 50,000-100,000 or disqualification for up to 3 years. For legal entities, the amount is 150,000–250,000 rubles.

• Is the resource supplying organization a partner of the UK and HOA, or vice versa?

Responsibility for poor-quality maintenance of general house metering devices

Article 9.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that in case of non-observance of the requirements of the law on the installation of ODU, a fine is imposed on:

• legal entities: 500-600 thousand rubles.

Failure by energy suppliers to comply with the requirements for the installation of general house meters to the owners of premises in MKD, their representatives entails a fine:

• officials: 20-30 thousand rubles;
• for legal entities: 100–150 thousand rubles.

Unjustified refusal or evasion of the Criminal Code responsible for the installation, replacement, maintenance of common house metering devices for consumed energy resources, from signing an agreement and / or from its execution, as well as violation of the procedure for its conclusion or non-compliance with the requirements for installation, replacement, operation of metering devices is punishable by a fine for:

• officials: 20-30 thousand rubles;
• Individual entrepreneur: 20-30 thousand rubles;
• legal entities: 50–100 thousand rubles.

If the requirements for equipping MKD with general house meters are not met by persons, responsible for the management of residential buildings, the fine will be for:

• officials: 10-15 thousand rubles,
• legal entities: 20-30 thousand rubles.

In other words, the responsibilities of the Criminal Code include monitoring the health, working condition, readiness of meters for the supply of energy resources and ensuring the CG of the population.
