Do I have to pay for stopping heating?

There is usually a charge for stopping heating.

Under normal circumstances, residents who do not participate in collective heating must pay the heat loss fee to the heating enterprise through the property company. It is about 30% of the total normal heating. The explanation of the property company is that although some households do not need heating, the heating of neighbors can also be carried out through walls or heating pipes. In fact, they are enjoying low-level heating, which has caused certain losses to heating units.

However, the situation in different communities is different. Some have to pay and some don't, but the price department gave the answer, which has no basis and is not allowed to charge.

When using heating, the relationship between users and suppliers is not as simple as "buy one get one free" as the ordinary relationship between buyers and sellers. The reason is that the so-called "heating fee" not only refers to the cost of heat energy entering the room, but also includes fuel costs, utilities and so on.
