If
you are lucky enough to live in a home with a pechka for heating and cooking, there are a few important facts you
should know:
·
In order to effectively heat a home in winter, a pechka must be fed or stoked 24 hours a
day.
·
Most Ukrainians employ a network of extended family and
neighbors to accomplish this task. As PCVs, it is important to establish
relationships with your neighbors, so that you have your own network to assist
you.
·
Remember that any expenditure associated with operating
your pechka is considered a part of
your monthly heating bill. Talk to your Regional Manager if you have any
questions.
