“In April, the average bill will be around 60 euros for a standard apartment. Heating an apartment for about a day costs about 2 euros. If we saved for a week or so, it is possible to calculate how much the residents saved.
But now, when it is necessary to heat the cooled houses again, that amount of heat will be practically returned, because now it is necessary not only to maintain the temperature, but also to heat the cooled houses. Heat consumption will be much higher and it will be expensive,” V. Lukoševičius said to LRT radio on Tuesday, April 23.
“It’s an extra cost to run, and the savings per day at these temperatures isn’t great.” Therefore, it really didn’t work here, but it happened as it happened,” he added.
Speaking about the heating season, the president of LŠTA also emphasized that it should not be announced either its beginning or its end. According to him, the buildings have installed heat points that are able to react to the temperature and supply the house with the required amount of heat.
“We made a huge investment two decades ago. Group boiler rooms in Lithuania were abolished and replaced by individual heat points, which are installed in every house and building. And this heat point, reacting to outdoor and indoor temperatures, maintains the required temperature and consumes only as much heat as is needed for such a building.
It makes no sense for the municipality to perform the function for him now. That’s why automatic well-regulating systems were made, which could regulate the heating of each building according to needs”, noted V. Lukoševičius.
This year, Vilnius announced that the heating season will end on April 9.
