Sofia Residents Prepare for End of Heating Season as Temperatures Rise

As the month draws to a close, residents of Sofia are gearing up for the end of the heating season, with "Toplofikatsia" - Sofia announcing the phased shutdown of heating services starting March 31. The decision comes in response to the sudden warming of weather conditions and the anticipation of high average daytime temperatures in the Bulgarian capital.

In a statement issued by "Toplofikatsia" - Sofia, the company highlights the need to adapt to the changing weather patterns, citing the unusual and sharp rise in temperatures as the driving factor behind the decision to phase out heating services. Despite the impending shutdown, the company reassures consumers that it remains prepared to resume heating services in the event of cold weather.

Residents who wish to continue using heating services beyond the scheduled shutdown date are advised to submit applications at the company's customer centers located throughout the capital. However, any decision to prolong heating services will be contingent upon approval from the respective condominiums, emphasizing the importance of collective decision-making in such matters.

The phased shutdown of heating services is not unique to Sofia, as "Toplofikatsia" in Veliko Tarnovo also announces the end of the heating season, with a similar phased shutdown set to commence from April 1st. The coordinated approach reflects a nationwide effort to align heating services with changing weather conditions and optimize energy usage accordingly.
