Ana, Clementina and Felipe have been taking showers or with pots of scorching water or within the gymnasium for seven months. Despite the truth that they purchased a newly constructed home on Avenida Meridiana in Barcelona, they’ve by no means had scorching water, heating or air-con of their properties. Apparently, the constructing doesn’t obtain sufficient energy to start out up the aerothermal items that management each the central heating and the new water, as a result of when the connection was made, a cable was put in incorrectly.
The months have passed by and as we speak neither the development firm nor the electrical firm are accountable. As defined in Rac1, Meritxell, one other of the neighbors, the electrical energy firm has already made the connection from the road to the constructing and now all that is still is to attach that cable to the overall electrical set up of the block. In whole, the block has 12 flooring however two haven’t but been offered. So as we speak, there are ten affected residents.
The difficulty is that, apparently, a too slender cable was put in, so the constructing does have electrical energy however not as a lot energy because it takes to activate all of the aerothermal mills.
And whereas one and the opposite throw the ball, the neighbors proceed to pay the month-to-month payments for the contracted energy with out having scorching water, heating or air-con. This is how a few of them live it.

Ana was the primary to come back to reside on the farm. She purchased the residence in May and since then she has lived an genuine odyssey each time she needs to bathe. “I’ve had to enroll in a gymnasium to have the ability to bathe somewhat correctly. Sometimes I’ve to go to my mother-in-law’s home or to my daughter’s home. Until now I showered by heating water in pots, filling basins and showering as greatest I might like our grandmothers did,” he explains.
The lady assures that the “summer season was hell”. “It was unbearably scorching and also you could not keep on the ground. Most of the neighbors needed to go away, every one the place they may, we reached 44 levels. Now, in winter, the scenario has not improved. We have to make use of many blankets or now and again join radiators however they spend far more than aerothermal vitality”, he provides.
Ana, like her different seven neighbors, feels cheated by the promoter and the electrical energy firm. “It’s all a botch job. We have employed a police skilled and {the electrical} engineer has instructed us that they’ve deceived us, that we might have had the aerothermal units working with the provisional cable but when the entire neighbors placed on aerothermal on the identical time , air-con, washers, dryers, the cable might burn.”
The lady trusts that the issue shall be solved quickly. And it’s that they proceed to pay the invoices that Endesa generates, solely the final one was for 66 euros. “We have purchased some flats that theoretically need to have these providers,” she claims.

The younger lady assures that they’ve spoken with the promoter and with the electrical energy distributor to complain concerning the scenario however “each time they inform us new issues and so they by no means resolve something.” “The metropolis council provides Endesa or distribution permission to hold out work and now we have been acquiring these permits since August and we have not seen any outcomes,” she explains.

Felipe is experiencing the identical scenario. In his case, he has not been in a position to be a part of the gymnasium and use a heater to boil water. “I normally bathe by heating scorching water to 1 hundred levels, utilizing a water can that I fill within the bathe and a few minimize bottles that I fill, combine the water and bathe as greatest I can. As time goes by we get used to it,” he says.
Felipe moved in May and, like the remainder of the neighbors, he doesn’t know who’s answerable for the scenario they’re experiencing. “In summer season it was fairly scorching. Both one facet and the opposite of the constructing face east and it provides you the solar each within the morning and within the afternoon. It raised the temperature fairly a bit, we reached 37 levels however winter is worse, now we have arrived at 12 levels, we’re ready for it to move as rapidly as attainable. At evening we attempt to put a radiator and a few large down,” he laments.
According to Endesa, the fault has been repaired since December and can work from January 17.
