Is it profitable to install a heat meter in the apartment?

Good day! I want to put heat meters on radiators. How to do this and will the thermal organization take this into account?

Expert Answer

Hello Sergey! A heat meter is a rather expensive device, so installing several of these devices on separate batteries is unreasonable. It is for this reason that they do not install separate heat energy meters in apartments with vertical wiring, that is, where each radiator is powered from its riser.
If the heating in the house is carried out according to the horizontal scheme, then the supply and removal of hot water occurs through two pipes - in this case, the installation of a separate heat meter will be fully justified.
The installation of the heat meter is entrusted to specialized organizations licensed to design, install and carry out maintenance work on heat energy meters. Employees of the company are involved in all stages of approval, given the final commissioning of the device. All that remains for you is just to pay for the services of specialists.
Finally, we recommend that you check that you have a device with a “fresh” release date. Since it is also the beginning of the verification interval, it will be possible to postpone the time period for the next verification of the meter in Rostest.
