Why put a public house electricity meter?

Общедомовой прибор учета электроэнергии позволяет to save your finances, deducted for such public needs as lighting of landings, pumps for ventilation and pumping, operation of elevator systems, outdoor lighting, as well as compensation for energy losses. Individual control systems have already become widespread, but general house counters still cause distrust among the population.

A similar meter meter is put onsupply line at the entrance to the house. Therefore, it measures the total amount of electricity consumed. This value includes general house and apartment consumption. The first is determined by the line section from the moment of entering the house to the entrance to a particular apartment. The second indicator takes into account the needs of this apartment. This method allows you to more accurately calculate the need for electricity among the population.

General house metering device considersThe amount of energy consumed per month can be paid in two ways: the first involves the use of standards, the second uses only the meter data. Consider each of them with specific examples.

For example, in your apartment is already installedindividual metering device, in this case, when installing a general-purpose meter, you will pay only a part that is proportional to the energy consumption that your apartment has spent during this period. Thus, the more energy you use, the more impressive your electricity bill will look. If your apartment does not have its own metering devices, then the calculation of payment will be made by the house management according to the standards that take into account the footage of the apartment (in square meters), as well as the number of citizens registered in this area.

For example, in a three-room apartment livesordinary family of three. In this case, they will pay about three times more than their neighbors, living in the same number of one-room apartment. At the same time, both of them and others will use the house-wide electrical energy in equal shares.

Apparently from examples, the metering deviceelectricity, both domestic and residential, allows for a more accurate consideration of the needs of the population, and therefore, a more efficient approach to the problems of production and distribution of electricity. However, general house meters allow you to save not only natural resources used in power plants. They allow you to save money of the population. This can be done in several ways, for example, to replace light sources in outdoor lighting lamps with energy-saving lamps, install motion sensors, carry out timely repairs and put up protection against spontaneous connections to the house electrical network.

Следует отметить, что общедомовой прибор учета electricity has one major drawback: if a tenant refuses to pay his expenses, the rest of his neighbors will have to do it. The cost of services in equal shares is distributed among all tenants.
