Household - about water and electricity meters.

I think my information may be useful to someone.

We have finally installed electricity meters with the ability to measure electricity consumption in three different time / price ranges and apartment water meters. Well, as they say, let's rip off the masks: the savings are obvious.
For electricity - about 2 times, for water - 2-2.5 times.
Well, about electricity is predictable, because at the rate at which we pay constantly, with the new meter, we get only 2 intervals a day - from 7 to 10 am and from 5 to 9 pm. The rest of the time is cheaper (and the refrigerator, for example, works around the clock).
But I had strong doubts about the water, because in my opinion we tart a lot of water (considering the almost everyday evening baths for my waterfowl daughter))). At a rate of 11.5 cubic meters per person per month, we spend about 12-15 for everyone! Hot and cold water is approximately equal.
So, draw your own conclusions))

We have been on the meters in Estonia for a long time, so what? Think water suppliers won't find a way out? We found it - since the total introduction of water meters, the price of water has increased almost 5 times !!!!! Well, and for electricity, respectively.

We also found it, after the people began to save on water.
checking counters.
At first every two years, now at least after 4 years.
Or they take off your counters, take them for a week, and then they say. that the meter is broken or new ones are installed, and the old ones take them for themselves.
so it is necessary to change all the counters every 4 years.

Question .... the electricity meter was not installed free of charge? Then what kind of savings can we talk about .... The cost of the meter (7700r) will be "removed" not earlier than in 3 years ... and what will be there in 3 years ...
But what about those who cannot take advantage of preferential daytime or nighttime? There will be no savings at all.
About the water meter, have you read the contract carefully? It says that you will be required to pay water bills, which will be additionally billed to you by the service provider ....
While the company "let's put all the meters" is going on, they practically do not use it ... and then prepare the money, gentlemen ... and do not get away, the contract has already been signed ...
These examples are completely from life. I am writing for those who are thinking about putting, not putting. It is important not to forget about such moments.

I installed the water meters 4 years ago. I put 2, because I have two water risers in my apartment. Paid then 300 for both together with the installation. The rate that the water utility sets without a water meter is 11 cubic meters. m. per person, there are two of us, so it would be necessary to pay 22 cubic meters. m. Then the price for 1 cubic meter. m was - 3.22 UAH, now about 6 UAH. In reality, the water meter takes 4-6 cubic meters per month. The water meters paid off in four months (3 people were registered for us then). Now the savings are 6 UAH * (22 cubic meters-6 cubic meters) = 96 UAH per month!

In our village, water meters were installed long ago, when I found out how many cubes they take per person per month. And with us, since we live in the village, they also thought of taking for watering the garden + if there is a bath + if there are any animals. It turned out such huge sums! Email the counter has also been standing day-night for a long time. They pay much less.

I'm not really campaigning for anyone. I share my experience. It seems to me forewarned means forearmed.
Let's answer in order.
I don't know where the electric meters cost 7700, we paid about 4000 rubles, the installation was free. By the way, for my mother the unit will be free - if there are pensioners or labor veterans, everything is easier. Fights back everything in 1.5 years (we can count everything).
I do not understand how you can not be able to use grace time. All the same, some of the electrical appliances work at night. In addition, there are weekends. You can also buy for very little money (200 rubles, if my memory serves me) automatic gadgets, through which any electrical appliances are connected, so that they turn on at a time when it is convenient for you. For example, I have a washing machine connected like this. And bread is baked at night. And the dishes are washed at night too. Without changing anything specifically in our habits, we checked: the daytime regime accounts for less than half of all electricity costs (about a third)! So this remark is incomprehensible to me.
Of course, I read the contract for the water meter carefully. There has never been such a precedent (additional water bills). Neither you nor I can specify exactly why this clause was included in the contract. In the meantime, all our assumptions = OBS.
I also read in the contract that you have to pay some additional money for the maintenance of the meter. Now I do not have a contract at hand, I cannot say exactly how much it will be. But the amounts are insignificant. Because, just like in the case of the electric meter, we made preliminary calculations, taking into account these payments. Payback - about 2 years (preliminary!)
In addition, the installation of water meters will really help those who leave for the summer to the country. And just leaving home for a month on vacation does not need to pay anything extra.
Tariffs are growing, sooner or later we will all come to saving resources. This is normal, this is the practice of all developed countries. Only, having a meter, I will not pay for the water that flows in my basement during an accident, for example. All the same, collective access meters are already a reality in the near future. I prefer to prepare.

Do you have counters? Or is it a reflection from the outside?

[I just want to say once again that when making a decision, you need to walk sensibly, paint all your consumption of water and electricity. energy, when, how much, etc. so as not to get upset later.]

I have both. Water ones, I don't remember how much, it seems about 3500-4000, but the electric one is 7700r (maybe you just recoded a two-tariff meter?), Put it in September 2008. I do not see much savings, yes there is, but not at times. Given that I have the opportunity to use email. devices at preferential times both day and night. And we have a family of 5 people.
I put it together with a neighbor. She works during the day, at night she cannot turn on the equipment, for a number of reasons, on weekdays all expenses fall on the peak time, and on weekends she simply does not want to leave all the "dirty" work. And having counted her expenses, she shared with me that now she pays more for electricity. And with water, she also cannot save much, because she is used to taking baths every day and generally pours a lot of water.
I am not agitating against anyone, I just added a couple of "interesting" points. After all, the money for the installation should be taken out of your pocket right away, and the benefits should be received later.
And add. water bills. come now. I personally saw the receipt and helped to deal with it, it was there that they told me about the item ...

I just want to say once again that when making a decision, you need to walk sensibly, paint all your consumption of water and electricity. energy, when, how much, etc. so as not to get upset later.

We installed the water meters 3 years ago. To be honest, at first I was not going to do it. But they installed a general house meter in the house (that is, for the whole house - 105 apartments). Having received the first, after installation, payment order, grabbed her head, we were exposed to 14 cubes !!! hot and 26 cubes !!! cold water. Crazy money! I went, no, I ran, put meters in the apartment, 2 meters cost 4200 rubles. When I took the meter readings for the first time, I also grabbed my head - hot water - 2 cubes, and cold - 4. Feel the difference. At the same time, they consumed water as usual, did not save (and shower 2 times a day, and regular washing, etc.). We pay for maintenance of meters (after the end of the warranty period) 58 rubles (29x2). Of course, the counters have paid for themselves long ago, it is easy to calculate. And one cannot but take into account such a moment: part of the apartments is rented in the house. My neighbor is registered alone, pays for water, even according to the general meter, for one, he rents an apartment, actually SIX people live, who spend the corresponding amount of water. And who pays for them? And those who do not have apartment metering devices pay for them. And six people is not the limit, 20 people live in one of the apartments. Personally, I feel sorry for my money and I don’t want to pay for it.
Now about the additional water bills. Once in the payment order, a certain extra amount appeared in the recalculation column. I went to the EIRTs, having previously studied all sorts of - different laws and regulations of the Moscow government (dug in the internet). There they began to ride my brain, say different words, but I decided to stand to the end. As a result, this amount was withdrawn and I am not charged more, although I know for sure that some of my neighbors periodically receive bills "for that guy."
As for the increase in tariffs, they will increase for everyone.
In short, I believe that I did the right thing by setting the apartment meters, for me there is real savings.

Well, about electricity is predictable, because at the rate at which we pay constantly, with the new meter, we get only 2 intervals a day - from 7 to 10 am and from 5 to 9 pm. The rest of the time is cheaper (and the refrigerator, for example, works around the clock).

Sorry, you can make a correction. The second interval for this tariff is from 5 to 11 pm. Night starts from 23 o'clock

When we received payment orders for 60 cubic meters for 1 month on the home meter, I also ran at a run ... The cost of water meters is 3600 in Moscow before the New Year. +360 r per year service.

Here are my calculations for that month:

Submitted: cold water - 404 rubles, hot water - 1937 rubles. + drainage system 620 r. = 2961 p.

And this is the first month according to the counter:

Real: cold water - 188 rubles, hot water - 690 rubles. + drainage system 254 r. = 1132 p.

A good difference? In one month, 1800 rubles ... So in this situation, the counters pay off in less than six months ... Good payback, it should be noted. Bread makers pay off longer. And the fact that I pay only for my own water, and not for the water of my neighbor - for now, at least - this thought makes me feel good and calm

Electrician. We initially have two-tariff meters in our house. In a month, 300-350 kW are consumed during the day, and about 80-100 at night. At night I have a washing machine, bread maker, dishwasher. I pay for them 4 times cheaper than during the day. This is now also a decent economy (for day traffic - about 650-800 rubles, for night traffic - about 50 rubles). If there was no nighttime, then my electric bill would be 200-300 rubles more. (depends on the specific month). This, of course, is not the same amount as for water, but in a year it will also come up decently.

Therefore, everyone needs to calculate carefully whether he needs it or not. The fact that water tariffs will increase is for sure. They can also think of something else. But now it is profitable for a large number of people to install meters.

p. from. In fact, the forum already has a topic about water meters.

Sorry, you can make a correction. The second interval for this tariff is from 5 to 11 pm. Night starts from 23 o'clock

Oh, I don’t know. Here, I copied from the documents, with prices per kilowatt:

The tariff is high, 211 rubles: 7-10, 17-21
Average fare, 178 rubles: 10-17, 21-23
Night rate, 53 rubles: 23-7

I know that there are also meters with two tariffs, we have a triple one.

I misunderstood you a little. Of course you are right. Our three-tariff electricity meter costs 1 year. They paid 3000 rubles. It hasn't paid off yet, but the savings are about 150 rubles per month. So it will pay off completely in 2 years. We put it on the water a month ago. Both counters cost 4000 rubles. Savings per month amounted to 1,500 rubles. When I counted everything, did not believe it, I counted it and naturally was very happy. Even though they promise us to pay 30 rubles a month (the house is cooperative, even the tenants pay for water consumption for cleaning the entrances), it is very profitable, at least at this time.

Before the water meters were installed, we very often received clarification payments. Where for water it was necessary to pay extra for 300-600 rubles, about once every 2-3 months. When they tried to figure out "what it is for," they explained that there were ararians, leaks, non-payments. Maybe someday the tariffs will be high, but I will still pay for myself. and not for who or what is unknown. And now the savings are sensitive. I will also change the electric meters.

We have an electric day / night meter. In short, if a simple meter counts all the electricity at one price (for us it is 1.93 rubles per kWh), then day / night counts from 7-00 to 24-00 at the daily rate (in our case it is 2.13393 rubles per kWh), and from 0-00 to 7-00 at the night rate (for us it is 1.14914 rubles per kWh). At the same time, the night flow is about a third of the day.
And the picture looks like this:
During the month, we burned up at the daily rate of 617 kW * 2.13393 rubles = 1,316.63481 rubles, and at night - 235 kW * 1.14914 rubles = 270.0479.
The total for the month turned out to be 1586.68271 rubles.
If we had an ordinary meter, then for a month we would have paid the following: 617 kW +235 kW = 852 kW * 1.93 rubles = 1644.36 rubles.
In short, 1644.36-1586.68271 =57,67729 rubles is BENEFIT from a two-tariff meter and this is with a fairly large amount of energy consumed. So decide is it worth the candle.

There are other tariffs in Moscow. Electric stove single-rate counter - 211kop.
two-tariff from 7-23 the same 211 kop, and from 23 to 7 - 53 kopecks.

If we take your indicators as an example, then we get.
Single rate 617 + 235 = 852 * 211 = 1797r 72kop.
Two-rate 617 * 211 + 235 * 53 = 130187 + 12455 = 1426 rubles 42kop.
Saving 371 rubles 30 kop.
So the territorial factor is important here.

If we take the same email consumption as a basis. energy, then at Dmitrov's tariffs I save 456 rubles on a two-tariff meter!

We have a tariff of 2.94 during the day and 1.00 at night

natalka
Tell us more about the day / night counter.
As I understand it, this is some kind of special. counter need to be installed ???
We have a regular tariff for e-mail in our city. slabs 1.50, but I haven't heard anything about day / night

[natalka]

How! Lucky you girls, but they threw us here too. There is almost no difference, so I get upset. I’m here trying to figure out what to put aside for the night, but I could not strain with a one-rate meter - wash and wash the dishes whenever I want. We also wanted to save and at first it was so, and now how it happened.

natalka
Tell us more about the day / night counter.

Such counters are everywhere. You need to ask this in stores where simple meters are sold. As far as I know, there are also such meters that divide the day into a larger number of tariffs (in my opinion, there are three and four tariffs). This is an electronic meter on which the date and time are lit and it divides the tariffs automatically. When the night tariff is in operation, from time to time the daytime readings light up in flashing mode, and when the daytime is in operation, the night time flashes in the same way.
There are also two receipts, respectively. One says "day", the other says "night". Calculated at your local rates.We have them (tariffs) printed finely in the corner of the form, and you may just need to call the power grid and find out. Well, you can use my example to calculate how much it will be beneficial in your case.

And the gas meters ??? Is it profitable ?? Mom has 5 registered people, two actually live ...

[musyanya]

musyanyaGas meters are very beneficial.

We now have 70 rubles per month for gas per person per month, while it is believed that the consumption rate is 13 m³... The cost of a cubic meter according to the meter is 2.39 rubles, that is, in reality, 13 cubic meters cost 31 rubles! In fact, already at this stage, gas workers are laying an overpayment of 39 rubles. In fact, my family of 4 people (3 of whom are constantly at home) consume about 10m³.

i.e. 70r * 4 people-2.39r * 10m = 256r per month!
3000 per year!
The more people are prescribed, the greater the benefit will be.

Another thing is that the installation of the counter with us now (minimum) - 4200 + the counter itself ~ 2400, + hoses, gaskets ... In general - 7000r. But modern counters are already designed for 12 without verification (last year they were only for 10 years), and there they may come up with even cooler ones.

10m³ monthly expense.

I am wildly sorry, probably again in the wrong topic I am asking a question, forward me, please, if that. Tell me, does a bread maker consume a lot of electricity? And then I bake 2 times a day And I'm afraid that as soon as the electricity bill comes, they will take it away from me.

Friends, Muscovites, how many of you have already checked water meters? So many left-wing firms are calling, I can't understand who is still authorized to do this. The company that put them on us ordered us to live long. Give advice, please.

It is not profitable to do verification, it is easier and faster to just buy a new meter and install it

Flax, we have a housing cooperative. The chairman said he didn't know, then he wrote a notice on the door with a phone number and a mustache. Eh, you need to try him, where does he give the data on the water and go there. He's a good uncle, but he's a little past. I'm afraid that someone blurted out to him, but he informed us without checking. I'll call that phone myself, at least I know what their names are

It is not profitable to do verification, it is easier and faster to just buy a new meter and install it

And why? The counter is working properly. Verification (according to the chairman) costs 550 rubles, and the new meter is much more expensive. And then, the meter must be sealed and the papers must be handed over to the management company. And for these papers, it is necessary that those who installed the meter or made the verification have a license for this activity. In general, a dead end.

In order to make a verification, the meter is also removed, and then it must be sealed again. There are very few organizations that have pouring stands for verification, not every CSMiS is engaged in verification of water meters. It's really easier to throw them away and put in new ones. By the way, the licenses were canceled.

Shit, I'm talking about a dead end. We gave time until the end of this year, I think we will find out more what and how. Thank you. In the meantime, I called, that's where they send us 🔗 But it seems that they come, ask if there are any complaints, break the old seal, put a new one, And it costs 550 rubles per meter.As And they call it verification.

Well, my husband can buy and install a new meter himself at times, but who will seal it and give a piece of paper to the management company?

This is how the management company should seal it. After all, you have concluded an agreement with her for the supply of cold and hot water.

Sash, is it not easier to call the regional "Vodokanal"? Well these are with ... and beetles will come up with later that they have their own rules on this matter. We are in charge of the verification and sealing of the meters. And there is also such a version that it is easier to install a new meter. Well, this is if the old one needs to be removed and carried in practice. As it should be. And if they do not shoot, they just take the money for the alleged verification, then let it stand still. Personally, I do not believe the counters who have been in the clutches of "interested comrades."

Sasha, in the summer, she left a request on their website, a week later the dispatcher called and specified the time convenient for me. In fact, it took less than 2 minutes, did absolutely nothing with the counter and seals - only a flashlight was in my hands. Took 500 rubles. by check - apparently this is the cost of a set of documents with a blue Certificate

So they told us so. And the exchange of meters is a scam for money.

This is a suitable option. Previously, we did the same. But this was a "leftist" verification. Although everything was official, with seals, etc., was done by the people of "vodokanal". They just made life so easy. Verification involves opening the meter and checking for interference with the counting mechanism. There, inside, it seems, there are still some factory seals. So they are being checked. Well, they also watch something there. And now this shop is covered and they demand to remove and hand over the counters. And then they are installed and sealed again. Only as it turned out that because of bad water, the meters cannot always pass this verification and that they will wind up inside, God knows only. Therefore, it is easier for us to install a new one and live peacefully for another 4 years.

We pay money to the housing cooperative, the chairman himself gave the go-ahead for this company and there seems to be no trouble. Thank you my friend

And I don’t understand at all how I should behave in about the same situation ... We also have a cooperative house, there is a water meter on it. And when we received the first bills, we immediately installed a water meter in the apartment. BUT ... no one told us that it needs to be sealed in this situation.It is clear that when there is a personal account and payments go to the water utility, then all the cases are seals, docks and information to the water utility that you have a meter. And here it seems like for myself. We pay for water according to the housing cooperative payment to a single account with expenses for garbage, heating (there is also a meter on the house), etc. rent. And suddenly the chairwoman raises the question about checking the meters. I'm shocked ... And what to do? Well, as a last resort, I'll just put a new one before the "next brooms", but in fact, what should I do if I have neither a contract with a water utility, nor a personal account? I don't exist for them at all ... To be honest, I'm at a loss ... Yes, by the way, many people have unsealed meters. The usual procedure for installing a meter begins with a trip to the water utility and collecting docks. They are there checking the absence of debt on your faces. account, etc. And in my situation, why do I need them? They have a "relationship" with my housing cooperative, not with me. During the installation, we wrote a statement addressed to the chairman of the housing cooperative that we installed the meter and we ask you to make calculations according to its indicators and that's it ...

LenaV07, After installing the IPU, the master must carry out a seal and give you the documents for their further registration in the housing cooperative. And if you installed the meters yourself, that is, the offices that seal the meters. You write an application, bring a package of documents to the housing cooperative and only then you are charged according to the readings of the water meters.

And I don’t understand at all how I should behave in about the same situation ... We also have a cooperative house, there is a water meter on it. And when we received the first bills, we immediately installed a water meter in the apartment. BUT ... no one told us that it needs to be sealed in this situation.

and we have our own homeowner, they themselves came and sealed the meter. three years have passed, they came and checked, left satisfied.

And we, you see, the chairperson in this matter is not boom-boom ... For more than 4 years the counter has been standing, moreover, she came to the reconciliation, took readings and not a word that there were no seals. Well, in short, now it's too late to seal the old one. If it pesters again with verification, then we will put a new one and now we will seal it.

Verification involves opening the meter and checking for interference with the counting mechanism. There, inside, it seems, there are still some factory seals. So they are being checked. Well, they also watch something there. And now this shop is covered and they demand to remove and hand over the counters. And then they are installed and sealed again. Only as it turned out that because of bad water, the meters cannot always pass this verification and what they will wind up inside, God knows. Therefore, it is easier for us to install a new one and live peacefully for another 4 years.

I don’t know where this opinion about verification comes from (if we talk about interference in the work of the meter, then the “smart” chemists are different).There is an impeller inside the meter, which simply wears out, so it may give incorrect readings. Verification is also carried out by pouring water on a special stand (as described above). And often the counters do not really pass the verification and still have to be changed. It is much easier and more rational to simply change the counters for new ones. It is not necessary to buy the most expensive ones, the main thing is that they "sat down" in place in size and fasteners. We changed the house centrally two years ago - so the meters were of a different brand and the plumbers had to leave some old connections.

It is clear that when there is a personal account and payments go to the water utility, then all the cases are seals, docks and information to the water utility that you have a meter. And here it seems like for myself. We pay for water according to the housing cooperative payment to a single account with expenses for garbage, heating (there is also a meter on the house), etc. rent. And suddenly the chairwoman raises the question about checking the meters. I'm shocked ... And what to do?

And how should the housing cooperative should set you payments for water if the manufacturer does not guarantee the correct operation of the meter for more than the agreed period? The chairman is absolutely right. It is necessary to either verify or change the meter. Seal in different places in different ways. If the housing cooperative or HOA, then the chairman himself may well do it. The main thing for us is to have the correct documents for the correct meter.

If someone buys meters themselves, then you need to pay attention to the date of factory calibration. And then I once bought from which a year and a half had already passed, naturally I had to change it later earlier than after 4 years.

Calibration of water meters is carried out in accordance with the law of the Moscow Government. Water meters belong to devices of measuring instruments, which must be verified after a certain period (hot water meter after - 4 years, cold water - 6 years after commissioning) to establish the reliability of the readings. Those who have not been verified or replaced with a new meter at the appointed time are responsible for violation of the Federal Law.
I changed the meter to a new one, the difference turned out to be 200 rubles and 20 minutes of time, taking into account the filling out of documents for the housing cooperative.

Good people, help me choose a counter, please!
