Economist Shcherbachenko: a dishwasher reduces utility costs
Monthly utility bills are one of the main areas of budget expenditure for any family, noted Petr Shcherbachenko, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he named seven ways to save on bills for housing and communal services.
Firstly, the expert advised installing water meters, as they will help accurately calculate consumption. Secondly, a dishwasher can be a help because it uses only cold water and saves resources, which also reduces utility costs, he said. The third option is the use of energy-saving lamps and proper placement of light sources.
Also, according to the economist, timely repairs of plumbing fixtures should be done, as this helps to avoid water leaks and unwanted damage. Heat conservation leads to a reduction in heating costs by eliminating cracks and holes, installing seals on windows, and eliminating cracks in the flooring, Shcherbachenko said.

Among other things, to save on bills, he recommended turning off unnecessary services. For example, a radio point, a landline phone, a TV antenna. Another way to reduce utility costs is to receive a subsidy.
“To receive a subsidy for housing and communal services, it is important that utility costs do not exceed a certain percentage of family income (usually 22 percent). The income of all family members over the last six months is also taken into account. The size of the housing also plays a role: it must meet established standards: 33 square meters for a single person, 42 for a family of two and 18 for each member of a family with more than three people. If the square meters are more than the standard, then the subsidy may be refused,” the economist shared.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law increasing fines for poor quality housing and communal services. Resource supply organizations will be punished for such violations.
