Total heating fee¥ 1580.00

Base fee ¥ 540.00 + metered fee ¥ 1040.00

100 ㎡ x ¥5.4/㎡ + 8000 kWh x ¥0.13

How it works

  1. 1Total = base fee + metered fee (two-part heat tariff)
  2. 2Base = ¥5.4/㎡ x 100 ㎡ = ¥540.00
  3. 3Metered = ¥0.13/kWh x 8000 kWh = ¥1040.00
  4. 4Total = ¥540.00 + ¥1040.00 = ¥1580.00

Settlement rules

Prepay by area before the season; settle by metered amount after. If metered settlement is lower than the area-based cap, the utility refunds the difference within 2 months; if higher, no extra charge (capped at the area-based prepayment). Vacant homes still pay the base fee.

Two-part tariffs vary by city: Xi'an sets base price at 30% of the total and metered at 70%; Jining uses flat 5.4 CNY/㎡ + 0.13 CNY/kWh (residential). Billed area is usually the certified building area (some cities apply an area coefficient, e.g. Kaifeng 90%). Always confirm current local prices with the utility — the calculator accepts any local base/metered prices.
