The operator of Tashkent city's heat supply announced that the procedure for prepayment for heating and hot water services has changed here.
According to the new rules, when an advance payment is made, the period for maintaining the current tariff has been reduced from 12 months to 2 months. Previously, consumers could make an annual prepayment and still use the old rate even if tariffs increased.
Now, the tariff in effect at the time of payment applies only to the volume of services prepaid and remains valid for two months. If tariffs change during this period, no recalculation will be made.
After the two-month grace period ends, all settlements will be based on the current tariffs. Therefore, the practice of making an annual advance payment to protect against tariff increases is losing its relevance.
These changes apply to centralized heating and hot water supply services, and the population is advised to take the new procedure into account when planning personal expenses.
