    One year, wow. And I thought having the district heating bills lag by 2-3 months due to bureaucracy was bad. 😆 Although in a way I guess it’s more intuitive, if you pay for January of previous year in January. Here we pay for January in March and it’s a bit weird to get a large heating bill when it’s getting warm out.

      In Germany you pay “in advance” and then at the end of the year they calculate how much you actually used and give you a bill stating how much you still owe or how much they’ll have to refund.
