"What kind of heating is this anyway?": radiators have been turned on in Yekaterinburg, but locals aren't impressed

      Since September 15, heating has begun to be turned on in Yekaterinburg. However, at the same time the air temperature in the city has risen noticeably. So not all residents are happy about the warm radiators.

      — "Just in time — with the warm spell we should turn the heating on at full power!" — the portal E1.RU quotes a woman from Yekaterinburg.

      — "What heating at all? My balcony is open until the evening!" — adds another Yekaterinburg resident.

      — "Who needs to switch it on at +20°C? Why heat the street?" — fumes a man from the Urals.

      However, some believe the heating should still be turned on because of the cold nights.

      — "In the evening you get into a cold bed, in the morning you don't want to get up," writes a woman from Sverdlovsk region.

      — "Of course, 22°C during the day. But at night it's 3–7°C, so you can turn it on," says a local resident.

      As a reminder, the connection will take place in two stages:

      First stage (September 15–23)

      Heating will start being supplied to the Akademichesky, Sortirovka, Vokzalny, Zavokzalny and Zarechny districts. In Leninsky — the central quarters (Malysheva, Gogol, Gorky, Engels and Rosa Luxemburg streets); in Oktyabrsky — the Siniye Kamni, Center, Parkovy and Avtovokzal microdistricts. In Chkalovsky district heating will be provided to Botanika and partially to Avtovokzalny.

      Second stage (September 24–30)

      Heating will be connected to Pionersky (Kirovsky district), Yugo-Zapadny (Leninsky), Elmash and Uralmash (Ordzhonikidzevsky), as well as Vtorchermet and the Sovkhozny settlement (Chkalovsky district).
