October began for Ukrainians in cold autumn, and the first snow may fall in early November. In this regard, the issue of heating becomes very urgent..

October 3, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to start the heating season 2018 from October 15. At the same time, Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman urged local authorities to focus on weather conditions and look not at calendar dates, but at thermometer indicators..

In accordance with regulatory documents, the beginning of the heating season depends on the ambient temperature.. If within three days the thermometer is below 8 degrees Celsius, local authorities should decide on the supply of central heating to residential buildings. From October 1, municipal utilities are obliged to monitor the daily temperature.

On the readiness to start the heat supply to the apartments of Ukrainians in the Cabinet told back in September. Minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Communal Services Gennady Zubko assured that Ukraine is actually 100% ready for the start of the heating season 2018. Problems were observed only in a few settlements (Smila, Shepetivka, Kotsyubinskoe).

Thus, the heating should appear on October 15, or earlier than this period, in case of decreasing the air temperature to 8 degrees within 3 days..
