With the advent of frosts, it is time to buy a radiator. But does your apartment need it if it has already been installed in it in heating batteries. Why do we sometimes lack them and what to do in the case of problems? About all this and another in this article.
Some problems with heating in our apartment are associated with our own interventions in the ecosystem of the house. For example, well -insulated windows and doors make the temperature in the room take off as soon as the central heating works. And if ventilation works incorrectly or drafts pass somewhere, then in the apartment, on the contrary, it will be cold, no matter how the batteries are warmed. There are cases when public utilities are to blame. Before studying a large selection of heating radiators in stores, pay attention to the problem itself.
Here are what tips we want to give you:
1. Know your rights. During the heating season, which is clearly indicated and has a time frame, heating should work in your apartment.
2. If your batteries are a problem and you do not feel that a sufficient amount of heat comes from them, contact the management company or housing office. Be sure to use a paper application and keep the whole paper story with you. Make the engineer sign all the papers that documents and statements were entrusted to such and such dates. Let it also put the seal. Masters should be sent to check your batteries.
3. If the master cannot solve your problem, contact the housing office again or the management company. Personally demand a solution to the problem. If there is no one, call or write letters to special services created to complain about these authorities.
4. Check your windows and ventilation. Drafts can be the reason why you are cold at home. This is provided that your batteries work correctly. You solve the problem with your windows and ventilation for your own money, not utilities.
5. Never use a heating stove. Especially if the gas stove. In this case, it threatens you with a fire. In the case of an electric stove, you just spend a lot of funds for electricity. The electric heater will cost cheaper.
