IN modern world people are used to living in comfortable conditions. And the higher the standard of living, the more benefits surround people. To one of these inalienable conditions today comfortable life population can be attributed to the presence of hot water supply in apartments and private houses. Today, hot water consumption is equal to cold water consumption and sometimes even exceeds it.

What it is?

Hot water supply is the provision of water to the population, including its domestic needs, as well as production needs. high temperature(up to +75 degrees Celsius). It is an important indicator of the level and quality of life, as well as a condition for compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards. The hot water supply system consists of special equipment operating together, which serves to heat the water to required temperature, as well as for supplying it to water intake points.

More often this system consists of the following elements:

• water heater;
• pump;
• pipes;
• fittings for water supply.

IN regulatory documents An abbreviation for the phrase hot water supply is often used - hot water supply.

Types of devices

The hot water supply system can be of two types.

• An open system has a coolant. Water is supplied from the central heating system. It is named so because the supply comes from the heating system. This system is usually used in apartment buildings. As for private houses, then open system it will turn out to be too expensive.
• A closed system functions differently and has its own differences. First, cold drinking water is taken from the central water supply or external network, then it is heated in a heat exchanger and only after that it is supplied to the water intake points. This water can be used for cooking, as it does not contain elements harmful to health.

And there is also independent system hot water supply. The water is heated in the boiler room or heating point, then served into the house. It is called independent because it operates separately and is not connected to the heating system. It is used in private houses or cottages.

As for water heaters, they are divided into two types.

Their choice depends only on the desire of the owner, as well as on living conditions premises.

• Flow-through. They do not store water, but heat it as needed. Such a heater is activated instantly as soon as the water is turned on. They can be electric or gas.
• Cumulative. Such hot water boilers They collect water in a special tank and heat it. Hot water can be used at any time. Electric boilers have large dimensions.

Principle of operation

The hot water supply system can be dead-end or circulating. A dead-end circuit is used when constant use hot water. When water intake is not constant, the water in the pipes cools down and is no longer too hot. To get the water you need hot temperature, you will have to drain it for quite a long time, which is not very convenient. With a circulation circuit, water is always supplied hot, but such a system is more expensive. This scheme is well suited in cases of periodic water intake. The water temperature is constantly maintained and users receive hot water.

The circulation system in such systems can be of two types.

• Forced. This type uses pumps, just like a building heating system. Coercive systems used in multi-storey buildings with a height of two floors or more.
• Natural. In one and two-story houses arrangement is applied natural circulation, since the length of the pipelines is short. It operates through a system of circulation pipes, based on the difference in the mass of water at different temperatures. This method is the same as the water heating method using natural circulation.

Hot water supply consists of the following elements:

• water heater or generator;
• pipeline;
• water intake points.

Generators can be water heaters of several types.

• High-speed water-to-water heaters operate on the basis that hot water, which comes either from the boiler room or from district heating, passes through brass pipes. They are inside steel pipes, and the space between them is filled with heated water. Thus, heating occurs.
• A steam-water water heater operates using steam entering the heater. The water is heated by passing through brass pipes located inside. Such systems are used in homes with constant water flow and high consumption.
• In houses with periodic and low water consumption, they are used storage water heaters. They not only heat, but also accumulate hot water.

Pipelines for both hot and cold water supply are unified system, they are stacked in parallel. Mixers are installed at water intake points, which allow you to obtain different temperatures (from +20 to +70 degrees Celsius) by mixing hot and cold water. In the hot water supply system it is better to use galvanized or plastic pipes to prevent corrosion. It is better to insulate pipelines and risers to avoid unnecessary heat loss. IN modern houses Meters are installed for hot and cold water to account for water consumption, which allows you not to overpay for consumption, but pay only for the water consumed.

Advantages and disadvantages

If we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of hot water supply, it is better to consider open and closed systems separately.

• it is easy to fill it and bleed air, which happens automatically through the expansion tank;
• It's quite easy to recharge. Since system pressure does not require special attention, then you can collect water without fear;
• the system functions well even in the presence of leaks, which is due to the high operating pressure in it.

The disadvantages include the following:

• constant monitoring of the water level in the tank;
• the need to replenish it.

To the benefits closed system hot water supply can be classified as:

• savings associated with constant temperature;
• It is possible to install a heated towel rail.

The disadvantage is the mandatory presence of water heaters. They can be flow-through or storage, allowing you to always have a backup water supply.

Very important point in the hot water supply system is the presence of a hydraulic accumulator. It helps prevent some problems associated with pressure drops in the system. The hydraulic accumulator is a sealed tank containing a membrane partially filled with water. It divides the tank into water and air parts. If the volume of water in the hydraulic tank increases, then the volume of air correspondingly decreases.

If increased pressure parameters occur in the system, a signal is given and the pump is turned off. There is a pneumatic valve to regulate the pressure. Air is pumped through the nipple. Its quantity can be either added or reduced.

The hydraulic accumulator has the following advantages:

• preventing rapid pump wear. Since there is a supply of water in the tank, the pump will turn on less often, which contributes to its longer service life;
• stable air pressure in the system. The device helps to avoid sudden changes in pressure and temperature in the hot water supply system;
• resistance to water hammer. They practically do not occur and cannot harm the pump and the entire system;
• increased reserves of hot water. There is always a supply of it in the hydraulic accumulator tank, and it is constantly updated.

Thus, the presence of this device only has a positive effect on the functioning of the entire system as a whole.

Norms

According to the "Rules for the provision utilities» the standard temperature of hot water should correspond to a value from +60 to +75 degrees Celsius. This value fully corresponds sanitary standards and rules under the Legislation Russian Federation.

It is worth considering that there are some permissible deviations, namely:

• at night (from 00:00 to 05:00 hours) a deviation of up to 5 degrees Celsius is allowed;
• during the daytime (from 05:00 to 00:00 hours) the deviation should not be more than 3 degrees Celsius.

According to the rules, if the supplied hot water is colder than the standard value, the user can recalculate and pay for it at the cost of cold water supply. But for this you will have to take temperature measurements. You won't be able to do this on your own. The first thing you need to do is call the housing and communal services department or the management company and leave a request for a measurement. If this drop in temperature is due to malfunctions, repairs or another reason, the dispatcher must report this.

If everything is in order, you need to register the application. After the technician’s visit, you need to draw up a temperature measurement report in two copies. It is on the basis of this act that the cost will be recalculated.

When taking measurements, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• Be sure to drain the water within a few minutes;
• note where the measurement is taken from - from the heated towel rail pipe or from an independent pipe.

According to the SanPiN article, this violation requires payment of a fine.

Established standards temperature regime are associated with the following factors:

• this temperature does not allow bacteria to multiply;
• At this temperature, the possibility of burns is eliminated.

The water temperature in storage should be very high, but its use at home must be combined with cold water.

Schemes and calculations

In order to calculate hot water consumption, it is necessary to take into account the number of people living in a house or apartment, as well as their lifestyle. The main requirement is the minimum duration of hot water flow from the tap. Moreover, according to current standards(10 minutes), intended to be used at several points in any quantity.

• number of users;
• frequency of use in the bathroom;
• number of bathrooms and toilets;
• volume of plumbing fixtures;
• required water temperature.

The best design today is considered to be using special measuring instruments. Although this option is not possible for everyone. Only when taking into account the needs of the whole family is it possible to choose best option hot water supply for a house, apartment or cottage.

As for the operation of the hot water supply system, it good result is achieved only with coordinated, uninterrupted operation of all its components. The main factor is to obtain a quality resource that meets all requirements. In this regard, preventive maintenance should be carried out periodically. Pipelines must be flushed. This is done after installation, then after repairs and disinfection.

Flushing can last from several minutes to several hours. The time depends on the length of the pipeline. To prevent corrosion during the process, you need to complete absence air. To remove it, special outlet valves are used. Before putting the hot water supply system into operation for the first time, it is necessary to check for leaks and strength. The pressure should be half a bar higher than that expected to be used, but at the same time it should not exceed ten bars. Temperature environment when carrying out such events there must be at least five degrees Celsius above zero.

To extend the service life of your hot water supply, better time Inspect fittings, filters, and insulation from time to time. There are ways to combine the supply of hot water. If there is both autonomous heating and centralized water supply The water heater must be connected to separate outlets that have shut-off fittings. During the circulation of water, there should be no air in the coolant, as this may lead to the formation air lock, which will not allow you to arrive hot water, and a pipeline rupture may also occur. If any malfunctions occur in the system, it is better to contact specialists to promptly identify and solve the problem. Provided that the hot water supply system is used carefully and carefully, the likelihood of emergencies, breakdowns and malfunctions is minimized.

A few years ago, a new line appeared in receipts - water heating. Many people don't know what this service is and why they should pay for it. After all, previously payments were made only for warm water. Therefore, many people do not want to pay double fees. However, failure to deposit the money specified in this column results in debt. Since the amount for heating water in receipts is charged for a separate service.

Hello, dear portal visitor! Unfortunately, the article reveals only a typical answer to the question you are interested in. For consideration private problem write it to us. One of our lawyers immediately and completely free will advise you.

Heating in the bill - what is it?

What is heating is one of the frequently asked questions. The document has 2 columns thermal water supply(DHW) and heating.
What is hot water supply? It is hot water supply. But people don't understand why they have to deposit money twice. But in reality everything is different. DHW is not warm water, but the heat energy that is spent by housing and communal services to bring the liquid to the desired temperature. Therefore, a double tariff was introduced for hot water supply and for consumed energy.

This tariff was established due to the fact that to achieve normal temperature, is spent extra energy. Previously, fuel consumption was not taken into account when calculating utility bills, and money for this was charged only in heating season.
Because of this, during this period, people’s expenses for heating and heating increased greatly. To prevent people's costs from increasing sharply, the Government divided the costs spent on achieving normal temperatures for the whole year.

Is it legal to charge for this?

When people see an additional column on a check, they wonder if this is legal. Some immediately contact company employees and clarify what the new column means and why they need to pay. And some simply don’t pay money for it.

However, such actions by consumers will be considered illegal, since the obligation to pay for water heating is specified in the articles of the Housing Code. Also, the legality of demanding payment for this is also indicated in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 of June 6, 2011.

What if the equipment breaks down

If the heater breaks down, then communal payments will not increase or decrease during warming up. Therefore, it is important to quickly return it to service. In this situation, payers must immediately inform the management company employees about the breakdown. After receiving the application, the legal entity must immediately send specialists to restore the operation of the water heater.

Residents are also responsible for purchasing equipment.

How to determine the cost yourself

The cost of heating cold water is indicated in the receipt. It is quite simple to calculate the total amount for cold and hot liquids, but few people know how to calculate the amount of payment for additional services.

How is water heating calculated in the bill in summer and winter, and what data will you need to know:

1. You definitely need to know what tariff is set in the region.
2. What losses did the management company incur for transporting the resource?
3. How much energy was actually used to achieve the required temperature.
4. How much resource is spent each month?

Not all management organizations provide such data to residents apartment buildings. However, any person can request this information from the HOA or management company, and employees of the legal entity are required to provide reliable information on payment for apartment supply services.

If you refuse to respond to the request, the applicant can file a complaint against the employees of the management company with Rospotrebnadzor. Having received all the necessary data, you can independently calculate and compare the heating bill indicated in the invoice.

Calculation of the total amount in 2018

Heating is the most expensive utility service. This is due to the fact that special heating devices are used for heating, which consume a lot of energy.

To calculate the amount of payment for heating up a hot water supply, it is necessary to determine how much resource was spent; to do this, you need to take readings from the meter or make a calculation for hot moisture if there is none. The amount of remuneration for DHW heating is calculated using the following formula:

P gv = Vgv × Txv + (V v cr × Vi gv / ∑ Vi gv × Tv cr)

V gv - the volume of hot water consumed during the billing period (month) in an apartment or non-residential premises

Tхв – tariff for cold water

V v cr – the volume of thermal energy used during the billing period for heating cold water during independent production of hot water management company

∑ Vi gw – the total volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in all

T v cr – tariff for thermal energy in the premises of the house.

The rate established in the region is multiplied by the heat standard required to heat a cubic meter of liquid. The resulting figure is multiplied by the amount of resource consumed.

For residents who do not have a meter, the calculation must be made as follows: the standard is divided by the number of residents in the house (apartment).
The resulting result will not be accurate, since the management company also adds costs spent on repairs, maintenance and ensuring the functionality of special devices.

Utility payments for heating hit homeowners' budgets hard. In connection with this, people do not want to contribute money for unknown reasons. And the appearance of a new column on paper for heating always raises questions, especially if you have to pay a considerable amount for the innovation. Heating recently appeared on the receipt, which is why many people still don’t understand why they have to pay for it separately, because they already pay for water supply.

Many people, when paying for utility services, are surprised to see the phrase “water heating” on the receipt. In fact, this innovation was adopted back in 2013. According to Government Decree No. 406, if there is a centralized water supply system, payment must be made at a two-component tariff.

Thus, the tariff was divided into two components: the use of cold water and thermal energy. Now the calculation is made separately for two resources: water for hot water supply and thermal energy. That is why a column appeared on receipts indicating the amount of thermal energy spent on heating cold water. However, many believe that heating fees are charged illegally and write complaints to housing and communal services. To ensure the legality of this type of charge, you should learn more about this service.

The reason for this innovation was the additional use of energy. Risers and heated towel rails connected to the hot water supply system consume thermal energy, but this consumption was not previously taken into account in calculations of utility bills. Since heating fees can only be charged during the heating season, heating the air through the use of a heated towel rail was not paid for as a utility service. The government found a way out of this situation by dividing the tariff into two components.

Equipment

If your water heater fails, your hot water bill will not increase. In this case, authorized employees of the management organization are required to repair the equipment urgently. But since repairs require payment, residents must still pay this amount. Although the heating bill will remain the same, the cost of repairs and maintenance of the property will increase. This is explained by the fact that water heating devices are part of the property of homeowners.

As for non-standard situations, when, for example, some apartments in multi-storey building has access to hot water, and the second - only to cold water; issues regarding payment for heating are resolved individually. As practice shows, residents are often required to pay for common property that they do not use.

Thermal energy component

If everything is quite simple when calculating payment for cold water (it is carried out on the basis of an established tariff), then not everyone understands what is included in the cost of such a service as heating.

The amount to pay for a service such as water heating is calculated taking into account the following components:

• established tariff for thermal energy;
• expenses required to maintain a centralized hot water supply system (from central heating points where water is heated);
• cost of thermal energy loss in pipelines;
• costs necessary to transport hot water.

Payment for utility services for hot water supply is calculated taking into account the volume of water used, which is measured in m3.

As a rule, the amount of required thermal energy is determined on the basis of general house values, which are shown by hot water meters and consumed thermal energy. The amount of energy used in each room is calculated by multiplying the volume of water used (determined by the meter) by specific consumption thermal energy. The energy volume is multiplied by the tariff. The resulting value is the amount required to pay for what is written on the receipt as “water heating”.

How to calculate it yourself in 2018-2019

Water heating is one of the most expensive utilities. This is explained by the fact that when heating it is necessary to use special equipment operating from the mains. To make sure that the receipt shows the correct amount to be paid, you can do the calculations yourself and compare the resulting value with the amount indicated on the receipt. To do this, you need to find out the amount of payment for thermal energy established by the regional tariff commission. Further calculations depend on the presence or absence of metering devices:

1. If you have a meter installed in your apartment, then you can calculate the consumption of thermal energy based on its indicator.
2. If there is no meter, calculations should be made based on established standard indicators (set by an energy-saving organization).

If there is a general heat energy consumption meter in a residential building and individual meters installed in apartments, the amount charged for heating is calculated based on the readings common device accounting and further proportional distribution for each apartment. If such a device is not available, the amount required to pay for heating is calculated based on the standard energy consumption for heating 1 m 3 of water in the reporting month and the readings of an individual water meter.

Where to write a complaint

If the legality of the additional line “water heating” in receipts is in question, in order not to overpay for heating, it is recommended to first contact the Criminal Code with a request to explain what this item means. The appearance of a new line in the receipt is legal only on the basis of the decision of the owner of the apartment building premises. In the absence of such a decision, you should write a complaint to the State Housing Inspectorate. After filing a complaint with the Criminal Code, you must be provided with an answer with explanations within thirty days. If you refuse to justify why such a service is indicated in the receipt, you should file a complaint with the prosecutor's office with a claim in court. IN in this case, if you have already paid the amount indicated in the receipt, the basis for the claim will be Article 395 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. If a refund is not required, but you must pay for services that are not provided to you, file a claim to exclude the “water heating” line. In this case, it is worth referring to Article 16 of the Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”.

Good afternoon Please provide advice on the following problem. The metering device of our enterprise is installed in a TP, which belongs (owned) to the network organization. TP is a separate brick building located on a separate, specially allocated plot of land (municipal property, the network organization has a lease agreement), outside the territory of our enterprise (our property is private), although land adjacent. In the Act on the delimitation of balance sheet ownership and operational responsibility of electrical installations and structures, the boundary of balance sheet ownership and operational responsibility of electrical installations is defined as “Contacts for connecting busbars to the studs of a 0.4 kV transformer in RU-0.4 kV TP-69”. On the delimitation of the balance sheet ownership of a building, a transformer substation structure, its separate rooms- The act says nothing about the construction part. Meter readings were taken monthly. But power grid employees constantly lost the keys to the transformer substations. Over the course of 15 years, they cut and knocked down the lock on the RU-0.4 kV door 12 times, so they left the spare key to us a long time ago. Over the years, we began to take meter readings ourselves and report them to both Elektroseti and Energosbyt (obviously, this is a violation on our part, and on the part of Elektroseti, and Energosbyt). In February 2107 unknown persons opened the door to the RU-0.4 kV room and stole the metering device. Energy accounting came to check the metering device and discovered that it was missing. As a result, a report on unaccounted electricity consumption was drawn up against us. Accordingly, the energy sales company with which we have an energy supply agreement has billed us for unmetered electricity consumption. To all our appeals to the network organization and energy sales company about the cancellation of the Act on Unaccounted Consumption on the basis of clause 145 of the Basic Provisions for the Functioning of Retail Markets electrical energy(approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 4, 2012 No. 442): “If a metering device, the owner of which is the consumer, is installed and allowed to operate within the boundaries of the power grid facilities of an adjacent network organization, then such organization is responsible for ensuring the safety and integrity of the metering device, as well as seals and (or) visual control signs, for taking, storing and providing its readings to persons specified in an agreement with the owner of the metering device, or for ensuring access of the owner of the metering device to the metering device to take its readings, in a timely manner informing the owner of the metering device about its failure (its loss or malfunction)", we are told that if, according to the Delineation Act, the boundary of the balance sheet ownership of electrical installations ("Contacts for connecting busbars to the studs of a 0.4 kV transformer in RU-0.4 kV TP-69" ) is located inside the RU-0.4 kV room, then the RU-0.4 kV room itself is also on our balance sheet, and we must be responsible for the RU-0.4 kV room itself, and for the door of this room, and for the lock on this doors, and, accordingly, for our metering device, especially since we also had a key to this door (the issue of the key was not formalized in any way). Since we refuse to pay the bill for unmetered electricity consumption, the energy sales company will sue. Another point: 1) in the Act on Unaccounted Consumption, the address of our facility is indicated as the address of the place of unaccounted consumption, and not the address of the TP where the meter was installed (the addresses are different). 2) the description of the object does not indicate TP, but simply our type of activity - “production...”. I ask you to give advice: who is right in this situation - us or the network organization, and whether we have the prospect of challenging the Act on Unaccounted for Electricity Consumption and, accordingly, the charges made on the basis of this Act in court. Thank you.

How can I connect my house to the gas that runs under my fence in Moscow if the neighbor and the director of the LLC in one person asks for 500 thousand to sign his permission for the connection. Are there ways? The villagers created a LLC while providing gas for themselves. Now, in order to connect to the pipe at my gate, among other things, I have to pay 500 thousand to my neighbor, the director of the LLC. They allegedly own the pipe. There is no such money. We have a disabled person and children living there. Is there really no other way to conduct gas?

Payment for hot water is one of the main expense items for apartment owners in apartment buildings. Management companies regularly receive questions regarding both the charging of fees for this service and the current tariffs. In the article we will deal with all these points and provide useful reference material, including a table with hot water tariffs updated in 2019 in Moscow.

Many consumers are still surprised by the appearance of the “water heating” item in the payment for housing and communal services. This innovation appeared quite a long time ago - in 2013. According to Government Decree No. 406 of May 13, 2013, in houses with centralized system water supply payment must be made according to a 2-component tariff.

The traditional hot water tariff was divided into two parts:

• cold water consumption;
• heat consumption.

For this reason, a line appeared on the receipt indicating the amount of heat spent on heating cold water. Many people think that payment for this heating is being charged illegally, although it is indeed legal. Head of Expert Support help system“MKD Management” answered the question of how to calculate the payment for hot water supply for different categories of houses? .

The innovation was required due to the fact that residents additionally use an unaccounted amount of energy. TO DHW system heated towel rails and risers are connected, which consume heat. These costs were not previously taken into account when calculating payments for CG. Taking money for heat supply is only allowed during heating season, therefore, heating the air due to the operation of the heated towel rail as a utility service was not subject to payment. The solution was found precisely in the form of such a division of the tariff into two parts.

For a better understanding, it is worth describing the situation with DHW heating in numbers. If nothing else is required from cold water other than cleanliness and pressure, then with hot water everything is a little more complicated. In the case of DHW, another parameter is added - temperature. The supplier must withstand it, otherwise complaints are received, an inspection is ordered, and if violations are confirmed, the payment is reduced. For hot water, the temperature must be at least +60ºС.

The analysis revealed that heating hot water circulating through pipelines consumes about 40% of the heat generally required for domestic hot water supply at home. The hot water coming from the supplier is not consumed in full and is sent through the return pipe to the heat exchanger, where it is heated by boiling water supplied to the house. It cools down as it passes through the pipes. If little water is consumed in an apartment building, then heat losses can reach significant values, and the fee paid by the owners at a one-component tariff will not be enough to cover all costs.

Dividing the tariff so that the cost of heating water is taken into account separately was a solution to this problem.

Tariff table for hot water from July 1, 2018 in Moscow

The introduction of a new tariff system in Russia, implying a fee for heating hot water, is happening gradually. The decision on this is made at the regional level, so news about the transition to a new system periodically appears. For example, a 2-component tariff for hot water was introduced in the Altai Territory at the beginning of July 2018. Let us describe what this division looks like.

1. Cold water for hot water supply. The calculation of payment here is quite simple - the water passes through a “hot” meter, its volume in cubic meters is fixed and multiplied by the cost of cold water at the current rate.
2. Heating, that is, thermal energy expended to provide hot water supply. Here the calculations become somewhat more complicated - the cubic meters counted by the meter are multiplied by the standard for heating water, as well as by the cost of a gigacalorie.

The issue with the standard for heating cold water for domestic hot water requires a separate explanation. It refers to the amount of thermal energy that is expended to bring a cubic meter of water to the required temperature. This standard is approved at the level of the body working in the regional administration that regulates prices and tariffs.

If in the Altai Territory the transition to 2-component tariffing took place on July 1, 2018, then in the Chelyabinsk Region it happened earlier. In some regions the system is already working, in others the transition is still postponed. For example, in the Volgograd region they decided to postpone the introduction of the new system until January 1, 2020. Until this moment, the cost of the service will be charged according to the previous principle - simply for the volume consumed, depending on the tariff for 1 cubic meter of hot water.

The transition to a two-component tariff is a federal initiative that provides certain freedom of action for the regions. New system Over time, it should begin to work throughout the country, but now subjects have the right to start working with it or to postpone this moment. For example, by a recent decision of the Government, the deadline for the adoption of heat consumption standards for heating cold water for domestic hot water was postponed to the beginning of 2020.

The table shows hot water tariffs in Moscow, taking into account the increase that occurred from July 1, 2018.

The tariff rate for hot water supply for Muscovites does not include the commission that payment system operators and banking organizations charge for their services when they accept this payment. The specified tariff, according to established practice, will be valid for 1-2 years, after which it will increase again to overcome inflationary fluctuations.

As you can see, Moscow currently uses a single-component tariff for hot water supply, in which consumers pay for the service in the amount of cubic meters consumed per installed meters or, in their absence (which is already rare today), according to the standard.

How much have water heating tariffs increased?

In the capital, as in many other cities, from July 1 current year the cost of a number of utilities has increased. The average increase, by order of the Moscow government, should not be higher than 5.5 percent, while for certain positions there was no increase at all. If we talk about hot water, it has become 4.4 percent more expensive for citizens living in “old” Moscow, and now its price is the already mentioned 188.53 rubles per cubic meter.
