The expert explained the cold in the apartment with the batteries running

Pyotr Popov, a member of the Coordinating Council of the Association of Chairmen of Councils of Apartment Buildings in the Moscow region, head of the municipal office in the Balashikha city district, told why it can be cold in the apartment, despite the working batteries.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, November 19, he named several common causes that can lead to insufficient heating in an apartment. According to him, these may be problems with an individual heating point, illegal alterations in non-residential premises on the ground floors, which may damage the plug or pipe, system strangulation and lack of maintenance of old batteries that have not been changed for decades.

Popov said that in the future, temperature control in homes may become more automated — the authorities are already working on systems that allow them to respond more quickly to problems and automatically make recalculations without the participation of residents. Popov stressed that it is possible to achieve recalculation for poor-quality heating, and urged residents not to put up with the cold and protect their right to comfort.
