1. Heat meters do not save, they only stimulate savings - and not everyone who installed the device has lowered their bills just by installing it.
2. In addition to the amount of heat calculated by the heat meter, you will have to pay for heat losses on the section of the pipeline from the boundary of the balance sheet ownership to the location of the metering unit. Usually, this amount is negligible, but in some cases, when the length of the pipeline from the boundary of the balance sheet ownership to the location of the heat meter is measured in hundreds of meters, the cost of unaccounted heat losses can be comparable to the cost of heat consumed by the house.
3. No heat supply organization has the right to ultimatively specify the type of heat meter you should install. Otherwise, you can complain to the antimonopoly committee.
4. The price of the heat meter may include various options that you don't need, similar to buying any other equipment. Usually, ultrasonic meters are more expensive than mechanical ones, but due to higher reliability and insensitivity to water quality, this is the only difference worth paying for.
6. You are installing the meter for many years, so once again pay attention to the contractor from whom you order the installation of the heat meter. Who will you turn to if something happens? Where to look for this installer? Even a hammer can break, let alone a complex technical device, even if it is of European production. Serious organizations usually provide a guarantee for the device for several years and undertake its maintenance throughout the entire period of operation.
In any case, it is better to entrust the installation of the heat meter to an organization that you can visit in the office, which has a license for installation, certified specialists, experience in performing this type of work, and also takes responsibility for warranty and post-warranty service - remember, in four years, the heat meter must be verified.
