According to the District Heating Act, the heat company transports the heat via the network to the supply point, which is the point of connection between a network and a consumer installation. A consumer installation is defined as the functional set of heat pipes and devices intended for heat supply inside the building. In general, the supply point is the boundary of the property or the outer wall of the building, which is definitively located ahead of the building’s heating substation.
-
The amount of heat consumed in the building is measured with a heat meter in the heating substation. The heat meters belong to the heat company, which deals with the installation, regular inspection, and maintenance of the meters.
-
The heating substation and the heating system inside the building are the joint property of the building owners. The owners are responsible for the operation and the tuning of the heating devices, and the distribution of heat to the apartments or other premises.
