Individual connection or disconnection for each apartment, regulation of heat depending on the necessity, twice lower costs associated with heating and greater thermal comfort. These are the advantages obtained by the dwellers of the apartment building located at 2/5 Mihail Sadoveanu St in Ciocana district of Chisinau after they benefitted from the modernization of the heating system and were connected to Autonomous Central Heating, IPN reports.

According to Termoelectrica, together with the switchover to Autonomous Central Heating, the conflicts between dwellers related to the heating system in the block disappeared. “The installation is new, perfect, modern. The meters were set up in the corridor and each person has access and can turn on or off the heating and regulate the temperature in apartments,” stated Ștefan Belostecinic, the block’s manager.

Dweller Efrosinia Doba said that since the new heating system was installed, her costs have halved. “Earlier, I paid 1,000, 1,100, 900 lei for heat, but now the costs decreased to 500 lei. For December, we paid 500 lei. Those with three-room apartments are also satisfied. The heating in a room can be closed, while in another room where the person slips is not closed. This way, we can economize and it is not cold in the home,” stated Efrosinia Doba.

All the 80 apartments from the block switched over to Autonomous Central Heating in 2018, in the framework of a project piloted by Termoelectrica. Currently, over 50 apartment buildings in Chisinau benefit from the new heating system.
