In Beijing the government decides when they will turn on the heat to everyone's apartment. I get the impression that heating is provided by running hot water through the pipes. You pay a set fee based on you apartment's square footage. For our 2 bedroom it was about $500. I think that there may be a way to adjust the heat somehow, but I am not sure. I guess over public services are government administered too, but we get to choose if we want to use our heater in the Summer and to what degree. I also purchased an electric heater to use just in case. The picture is of our heater where government provided heat is given.
