As the weather warms up, starting today, May 19, SIA “Rīgas namu pārvaldnieks” will end the heating season in the buildings under its management. Heating will be turned off in all buildings within three days. In April and May, heating operated in a reduced mode – it was turned off on warm days and turned on during cold nights.
Most of the buildings we manage are equipped with automatic heating units – when the outdoor temperature rises above +12 °C, the heating switches off automatically. This means that during warm periods, residents did not receive or have to pay for heating when it wasn’t needed. When the temperature dropped, heating was switched back on. In buildings that do not yet have automatic heating units, heating was manually regulated during warm days.
We fully stop heating once the warm weather has stabilized. This means the air temperature has exceeded +12 °C for at least three consecutive days and has not dropped below +7 °C at any time. It is also important that the weather forecast for the following three days remains the same or warmer, with no prolonged precipitation expected.
Apartment owners can collectively decide to turn off heating earlier—or to keep it on longer—than the general schedule.
Because weather can change quickly, there often isn’t enough time for a full apartment owners’ vote, which typically takes at least two weeks. To allow for quicker decisions, each building should appoint a representative authorized by apartment owners to coordinate heating start and end dates. If your building doesn’t currently have such a representative, one can still be elected before the next heating season begins in the fall.
Apartment owners may also choose to keep the heating system in standby mode during the summer months. This ensures that, if the temperature drops below +5°C after the heating season officially ends, the system can automatically reactivate.
The end of the heating season is the ideal time to carry out radiator or towel rail replacements. Please note that all such work must be approved in advance by the building manager to prevent damage to the central heating system. Unauthorized modifications may result in a fine for the apartment owner. If a replacement radiator has a capacity incompatible with the building’s system, it may also need to be replaced again at the owner’s expense.
