Experts' opinions on the new heating payment system from March 1, 2025
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2025 4:18 am
Those who today pay only during the heating season will continue to pay without changes. The resolution, effective March 1, specifies the procedure for calculating the amount of utility resources based on the average monthly consumption volume and the calculation of the number of months of the heating season for the purpose of calculating the heating fee according to standards.
You can find out what payment system your building will have from March 1 from your management company or homeowners association.
In addition, from July 1, 2025, it is predicted that tariffs for housing and communal services will be indexed by an average of 11.9% across Russia.

The Chairperson of the Housing and Utilities and Improvement Committee of the Public Chamber of the City of Korolev, Margarita Belozerova, supports the government's decision and notes that paying for heating based on the actual cost helps residents see what exactly they are paying for.
"This is convenient for both consumers and resource supplying azerbaijan mobile database organizations. People see what they are paying for, and resource supplying organizations can immediately receive money for services and use it for modernization, repairs, and everything necessary for the operation of systems. Therefore, such a payment system is logical, transparent, and convenient for everyone," says Belozerova.
Another opinion was expressed by Pavel Sklyanchuk, an expert of the All-Russian People's Front. In a conversation with TASS, he noted that the old system of equal payments had a big advantage: it smoothed out expensive utilities in winter. Now Russians will lose this "bonus", and it will be more difficult to pay for utilities in winter.
