Kaunas is officially starting its heating season on Thursday, October 2. Amid colder weather and forecasts, the city will be switching on heating in apartment buildings, schools, kindergartens, and healthcare facilities, the Kaunas city municipality announced.
“All decisions are made based on prevailing weather conditions, low temperatures, and forecasts. A brief warm spell may occur soon, but to protect residents’ health, we decided to start the heating season this week,” said Karolina Sakalauskienė, head of the municipality’s Housing Modernisation, Administration, and Energy Division, in a statement.
Residents who notice that radiators are not heating are advised to contact their building manager or the operator responsible for the heating system. Typically, heat reaches apartment buildings within five days.
In previous years, Kaunas started its heating season on October 11 in 2024, October 16 in 2023, October 17 in 2022, and September 27 in 2021.
