Is FŐTÁV down right now?
The FŐTÁV status looks healthy at the moment, and fotav.hu opens without delay. Fresh FŐTÁV down reports are quiet, so nothing points to a network-wide problem. When the customer pages stall for you alone, the checks below sort most cases out.
People come here to read a heating bill, send a meter reading or check maintenance news. Those tools sit in the customer service area behind a login. A wider FŐTÁV outage would lock everyone out of that area at the same time.
Is FŐTÁV down for me or everyone?
Load fotav.hu on a phone with mobile data. A working page there means your home network or browser is the weak link. A failure on both routes, matched by rising reports here, puts the fault on the FŐTÁV servers.
Can you send a heat meter reading on fotav.hu?
Yes. During the reading window the customer service takes heat meter figures straight from your home meter. Enter the value with your customer number and check the confirmation line before you leave. Outside the window the form closes and the next date is shown on the page.
Buildings with remote-read meters send their figures on their own. If your meter is read remotely, the form tells you no action is needed for that period.
What does the FŐTÁV online account show?
The account lists heating bills, payments and your yearly settlement. You can see how each winter month was charged and download the bills as PDFs. Contact details and billing address changes also sit in the same account.
How does FŐTÁV announce summer maintenance shut-offs?
Planned summer works are posted on the news pages with the streets and days affected. Hot water pauses during those works, and the notice says when the taps run warm again. Checking the list in spring helps you plan around the dry days.
Is the e-bill signup done inside the account?
Yes. One switch in the account turns paper bills off and e-bills on. The next bill then arrives as a notice email with the PDF inside your account. You can flip back to paper the same way if you change your mind.
Common FŐTÁV Problems and Fixes
Login trouble and reading-window mix-ups drive most fotav.hu complaints. These fixes match those screens.
Reading form says the window is closed
Heat readings are accepted only inside the dates printed on your last bill. Sending early or late gets a polite refusal, not an error. Note the next window date and set the reading aside until it opens.
Account shows last winter only
Bills appear once the billing run for your building closes. Newer homes sometimes sit in a later run than older streets nearby. If a whole season is missing, the account link to your customer number needs a check by the office.
Login works but pages spin forever
A stuck spinner after login often comes from a blocked script in the browser. Turn off strict tracking protection for fotav.hu and reload. The account pages should then paint in full.
E-bill email lands but no PDF inside
The email only announces the bill; the PDF itself waits in your account. Download it from the bill list after signing in. Saving the file at once keeps it safe when the account list rolls over.
Fault report sent, home still cold
The online form suits single-home issues, while a whole cold stairwell needs the fault phone line. Radiator air or a closed valve inside the flat also mimics a network fault. Bleed the radiator once before reporting again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for the FŐTÁV online customer service?
Registration starts on fotav.hu with your customer number and an email address. A confirmation link activates the account. After that your bills, payments and readings sit behind one login.
Why is my heating bill higher in one winter month?
Cold months burn more heat, and the bill follows the building meter. The settlement at season end evens out the monthly estimates. Your account shows the meter figures behind each charge.
Can I see FŐTÁV maintenance days without logging in?
Yes. Maintenance and shut-off notices sit on the public news pages. Anyone can read them without an account. Only bills and readings need the customer login.
What if fotav.hu does not open during a cold snap?
Try the phone first if your home has no heat, since crews work from calls. For the site itself, test mobile data and a second browser. A failure everywhere means an outage on the FŐTÁV side.
Does FŐTÁV read my heat meter remotely?
Many Budapest buildings already send readings automatically. Your account shows whether your meter reports on its own. Where it does, the reading form stays closed for your address.
Where do I update my FŐTÁV billing address?
Sign in and open your customer details. The billing address field there feeds the next bill run. Moves between flats need a fresh contract, which the office handles from the same request.
