The cost of gas heating of a country house is significantly lower than electric heating, and, of course, such “heat” is less troublesome and dirty than wood-burning. However, the "paths" that lead explosive fuel into the house require compliance with a number of rules and are tightly controlled. As a result of the difficulties of coordination and the total cost of connection, the possibility of using a cheap energy resource often slips out of hand.

If suburban real estate is many years old, and you have no idea where the gas main runs, the topic is not for you. After all, most likely, the multi-kilometer path to a cheap energy resource will turn out to be too expensive, with thresholds that are difficult to overcome, such as the inviolability of private property and dependence on the decisions of local governments. Because the laying of a pipeline from a gas main to a house on private land will require written consent from each of the owners. And crossing a gas pipeline across a road, especially across a federal highway or a railroad track, can turn out to be a complicated and fabulously expensive undertaking. In such a situation, as an option, it is worth considering the possibility autonomous gasification, that is, equipping the house with a gas tank - an underground tank for storing liquefied gas.

If the site for the construction of a country house is only selected, then it makes sense to give preference to areas with communications. It is important that the pipe is not located somewhere nearby, but to a specific cottage village,

SNT or a rural-type settlement were issued technical conditions and your site was listed in them. Only in this case will it be possible to simplify to a minimum the most complicated series of coordination procedures that must be passed through in order to connection to the gas network in private.

Gasification of a private or country house - where to start

Specifications are an extremely important preface to the gas epic. They are necessary so that at the next stage, when designing a gas pipeline, all the features of the structure and terrain are taken into account. Obtaining technical conditions is a key moment that determines the possibility of connection in principle.

Therefore, start the business by visiting the regional operational service of the gas economy or another nearest branch representing the interests of the owner of the gas pipeline, be sure to take with you a general passport, title documents for the house and land, as well as a situational plan showing the location of the house relative to the existing gasified building ( a copy certified by the architectural and planning department).

Talk to authorized persons, find out your chances of getting connected, apply for a TU. A positive decision will be possible only if there is a reserve of network bandwidth.

If the construction of a house is only planned, you should not rush. After all, in order to start the process, a certificate of ownership of the house is required, in extreme cases - a certificate of ownership of the object of construction in progress.

That is, there must be walls, a roof, doors and windows behind which equipment can be installed. In addition, both the technical conditions and the gasification project have a limited validity period, for example, in the Moscow Region this period is 24 months. In case of delay, the laying of the gas pipeline and connection to the network will require the repetition of the first two stages. So consider when it is more convenient to submit an application, taking into account plans for the completion of construction and the arrangement of life support systems.

To obtain technical specifications for a house with an area of ​​​​more than 300 m 2, in addition to the specified documents, a heat engineering calculation will be required, performed by the design organization and determining the annual gas consumption.

For the construction of an underground gas pipeline, technical specifications for electro-chemical protection are required. The fact is that soils in different places differ in structure, mobility, corrosive activity, and not in every area it is advisable to bury a pipe in the ground. In addition, an underground gas pipeline will cost more than an aboveground one. However, this method does not affect the aesthetics of the landscape in any way and is less dangerous for the environment.

How to make a gas supply plan at home (gasification project)

The development of design documentation for the gasification of a residential building, taking into account its planning solution, the quality of thermal insulation and other technical conditions, allows you to correctly calculate and optimally select gas equipment, as well as plan its wiring. The project includes a gas supply plan for the house, a list of materials and equipment. It is ordered from an authorized design organization that has a certificate issued by a self-regulatory organization on admission to work on the design of gasification facilities. You can choose a design organization at your discretion, in any case, you won’t have to look for it for a long time. All services involved in the chain of paperwork and gasification work closely interact with each other. And at any stage you will be prompted what to do next and where to go.

Gasification design takes place in several stages. A design engineer is dispatched to take measurements. The arrangement of gas appliances in the premises is coordinated with him, the brands of heating equipment are selected or specified. In order to ensure safe operation, certain requirements must be observed.

In cottages with an area of ​​200 m2 in the basement or on the first floor, a separate room is provided - a boiler room. In such a utility room, it is desirable to make a couple of doors: one from the house, the other from the street. Then the checks by the gas services and the maintenance of the boiler will not disturb the household.

In houses of a small area, a wall-mounted gas boiler (up to 30 kW), which can be installed in the kitchen, copes with the functions of heating and water supply. You can approximately calculate the power of a gas boiler using the formula: 1 kW is enough for heating 10 m 2, in addition, up to 20% of the power should be laid down for heat loss. The installation of a gas stove is also provided for at the design stage. It is important to specify in advance the nuances of the location of the equipment inside the house, so that at the final stage, during acceptance, you do not have to redo anything. After all, gas appliances cannot be reinstalled to another place without the appropriate permission, and this is a new paperwork. The gas pipeline is entered into the house into the wall of the kitchen or boiler room.

In the course of further actions, it is necessary to purchase the selected equipment and provide its documentation to the design organization. And if suddenly you think that you can install and use a used stove or gas water heater, then this number may not work.

The term of the project and its cost depend on the complexity of the gas supply to the house. The finished project is coordinated with the gas seller in the region, as well as with the land users through whose territory the gas pipeline will pass. From the moment of receipt of the finished project, it is possible to calculate the approximate cost of gasification.

How is the construction of the gas pipeline (supplying a gas branch to the house)

With the finished project, you go to conclude an agreement with a contractor for the laying of a gas pipeline. Again, you will need to contact not just any organization, but one that has a license to carry out this kind of activity, as well as a certificate of admission to types of work that affect the safety of capital construction projects. First, you will be given an estimate, and if the amount suits you, you can discuss the terms and conclude an agreement. Well, if the cost of services seems too high, try to agree that you take on your own shoulders the performance of work that does not require appropriate qualifications. Moreover, it is desirable to write in the contract that full payment will be made only upon acceptance of the gas pipeline section by the commission.

Upon completion of work, the contractor draws up executive production and technical documentation. To accept a section of the gas pipeline, it is required to create a commission, which includes representatives from the organization of the gas industry, a construction organization, an inspector of architectural and construction supervision, an inspector of the Federal Service for Environmental and Nuclear Supervision, as well as a representative of the owner of the house. Properly and efficiently done work will not cause any complaints, and in this case, an act of acceptance of the finished object of the gas distribution system is drawn up. Well, if an adjustment is required, then the owner simply must be aware of all the problems and ways to solve them. Therefore, consider whether it is worth entrusting representative functions to your relatives just because they are sitting at home.

At the same time, that is, during the construction of the gas pipeline, it is possible to conclude an agreement with an organization providing services for the installation of heating equipment: installing a boiler, removing a chimney, laying heating pipes, hanging heating radiators. With the same organization, a contract is concluded for the maintenance of the boiler, which will need to be provided for connection to the gas network.

The end of gasification (gas connection to the house) is also an important stage

When all the equipment is installed, it remains to go through the stage of final approvals and procedures. For example, instruction on the safety of using gas and obtaining appropriate certificates by all adult residents of the house, without which the set of documents for connection is incomplete. And also to conclude an agreement for the supply of gas to your home, that is, to get on the balance sheet.

In addition, you will need to contact the tie-in service in the gas line. Then comes the time for a test run - checking the reliability of the installation of equipment and the absence of gas leaks.

When the trial run is completed, you can open the valve, but not on your own, but by contacting the company with which the contract for the maintenance of the equipment has been signed, and under its control, start operating the gas boiler. And the working draft with all filed acts should be archived.

We conduct gas: Nuances

Which boiler to choose?

The choice of boiler depends on the size of the house and the conditions of its operation. Floor models are able to heat large areas. For houses with a total area of ​​​​up to 200 m 2, wall-mounted boilers (geysers) installed in the kitchen are suitable. Natural draft boilers are not subject to possible power outages.

But such models have a number of operating limitations, for example, they do not allow you to control the temperature of the coolant. Smart electronic control of modern models of boilers is powered by the electrical network and provides ample opportunities for choosing comfortable heating modes.

Gas heating - will need a chimney!

One of the requirements for the installation of gas equipment is the complete combustion of fuel, which occurs with sufficient air access to the room. If ventilation, for example in the kitchen, is insufficient, a forced draft boiler (turbo model) and a coaxial chimney are chosen. Such a chimney is a pipe in a pipe. The outer pipe supplies fresh air, the inner pipe removes combustion products. The coaxial chimney is led directly through the wall.

The traditional chimney, powered by natural air draft, has its own requirements.

To ensure normal natural draft, the length of the chimney must be at least five meters, have a minimum of bends. In order to avoid the formation of condensate, the chimney is insulated. Its exit is made half a meter above the roof ridge.

And if the roof is made of combustible materials, such as straw or shingles, then this distance increases to one and a half meters. The inner diameter of the chimney must not be less than the diameter of the boiler mouth. A certificate of compliance of the chimney with fire safety requirements is required for connection to the gas network.

We supply gas, we need a meter!

In private country houses, gas is paid upon consumption. The characteristics taken from the passport data of the equipment (boiler, gas stove, gas column) will help you choose the right meter. Based on them, the total gas consumption is calculated. The resulting figure must correspond to the nominal flow rate of the meter, that is, its throughput. For example, with a total gas flow rate of 4.5 m 3 / h, we select the G-4 meter with a nominal flow rate of 4-6 m 3 / h. The device is installed in any convenient place where there is ventilation, and within a radius of one meter from heat and moisture emissions. The distance from the gas meter to the electric meter must be at least 0.5 m.

Boiler installation - rules and regulations:

In rooms where gas equipment is installed, the ceiling height should be at least 2.4 m (2.2 m - with a boiler power of less than 60 kW), the glazing area should be 0.03 m2 per 1 m 3, but not less than 0.8 m2. To install one gas boiler, a room is required that is convenient for maintenance, with a volume of at least 7.5 m 3, for two boilers - at least 15 m 3. When installing boilers in the basement floors and free-standing furnaces, as well as for boilers with a power of more than 60 kW, a gas alarm is required. To install a two-burner gas stove, according to the standards, a room with a volume of at least 8 m 3 is required, for a four-burner stove - at least 15 m 3.

On a note:

The distance from the pipe of the underground gas pipeline to other communications (power lines, sewerage, water supply, wells) with parallel laying should be at least 1 m. From buildings (including sheds and gazebos) you will need to retreat at least 2 m, and from trees - 1.5 m

Low-pressure gas pipelines are used to supply gas to private sector homes. With an aboveground installation method, such a gas pipeline needs supports and with their help it is even able to step over neighboring lands. A gas pipe can always be distinguished from other communications by its bright yellow color.

Bottom line: Gasification - how to do it and how much it costs to conduct gas

• It takes a lot of effort and nerves to connect gas to a private house, dacha, cottage, and you need to go through the following steps: obtain technical specifications, order project development, build a gas pipeline section and put it into operation.
• The price for connecting gas largely depends on the length of the gas pipeline under construction, because each meter of it costs on average from 500 to 1000 rubles, and gasification of a shared property will cost much less than a private one.
• Before you start filling out documents for connecting gas alone, talk to your neighbors. Perhaps many will want to conduct gas in their home. Then the costs of gasification will be divided among several members of the CIS or other territorial association. Those wishing to join later will pay fees that compensate for part of the costs of the "pioneers".

It is sometimes difficult and quite expensive to carry gas to a private house. In this article, we will try to tell in detail about the intricacies of connecting gas in a private house and the technique of laying a gas pipeline. In addition, a fairly large amount of material is devoted to the main stage of gasification - this is the collection and execution of documentation. It is best to use this article as a guide or reminder in this process. Well, now let's go directly to the article.

When you need to cut into a gas pipeline, you should first find out who owns it. Most often they are "GorGaz". Permission must be obtained from the owner in order to tie into the gas pipeline. When the owner of the gas pipeline has approved your application, the next step is to contact the design organization, which will have to develop a gasification project for your house and the possibility of connecting it to the gas pipeline.

How to conduct gas to a private house?

There are only six steps for gasifying a house:

First step. Definition of technical conditions.
If you want to be able to supply gas to an individual house, it is necessary for the consumer to have on hand the technical specifications (TU) for the possibility of gasification of a residential building, which is issued by the city gas distribution organization. To get the data. conditions, you need the following documents:

1. Write an application for the issuance of technical conditions, which will indicate: the address, the volume of gas consumption, and the type and quantity of gas-consuming equipment.


2. You need a passport of the one who makes the order.


3. Required documents for the land, which confirm your right to it.


4. The same documents for your residential building: if it already exists, then this is a registration of ownership; and if the house is only under construction or project, you need to have a written order from the authorities, as well as a letter of permission from the Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture (CGA).


5. a power of attorney, which is notarized, to represent interests in order to obtain technical conditions.


6. There should be a situational plan of a residential building or your site.


7. if the customer wishes to build a gas pipeline at his own expense, then a “Refusal letter” should also be made from the queue for budget gasification.

Second step. Creation of a project for a gas supply system.
All the necessary design work in private residential buildings can be carried out by those organizations that have licenses for this type of activity in their hands, this includes the design and construction departments of the GRO.

To prepare a complete project, it is necessary that the customer prepares the following documents: explication and topographic survey of wells for the M1:500 project, but no later than 2 years; you will need documentation on the building and the site (all available architectural drawings for building a house and a site plan), which is also agreed with the architect in the area; type of equipment: stove or boiler; See also Act of inspection of the condition of ventilation ducts with chimneys.

The third step is agreement.
The prepared gas supply project, depending on the subtleties and nuances of the project, must be agreed with the technical department and other interested organizations. This will be the Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture; Committee, which deals with issues of improvement and road facilities; Department of Gardening and Parking; as well as Rostekhnadzor.

Step number four. Construction of a gas pipeline.
It is important to note that only those organizations that have specific licenses for this type of activity can implement a gas supply project for your home (construction and installation work). Completion of the construction should be formalized by the Acceptance Certificate of the completed construction of the gas distribution system facility through the internal and external gas pipelines. So, the State Commission should include representatives of: a design organization, an operating organization, a customer, a construction organization, Rostekhnadzor (a representative from the gas supervision department) and the gas safety department.

Step number five. Drawing up a contract for the maintenance of the technical condition of the gas pipeline.
It is important to know that it is necessary to sign a service agreement with PES GRO. Within one week, the price for the maintenance of the internal gas pipeline should be calculated. After that, you should sign the Maintenance Agreement, and you can safely proceed to the next step. To conclude this agreement on those. maintenance of a gas pipeline with GDS You should have the following documents with you: a complete set of executive and technical documents for gas supply; a copy of the passport of the owner of the house (pages 2,3 and 5); one copy of the certificate of ownership of the house (this can be a technical passport for the house, a document for inheritance or purchase, but if there are no documents for the house, it is important to provide a copy of the certificate for this land plot). There must be a copy of the contract for maintenance and commissioning; a copy of the power of attorney, which is notarized (if the contract is executed through a power of attorney); another copy of the contract for the maintenance of automation (if the house has a gas control system); the originals of all passports for the gas equipment available in the house are also submitted.

Sixth step. We conclude a contract for the consumption of gas.
A very important condition is to sign an agreement so that gas is supplied to your home. You can conclude such an agreement absolutely free of charge, the consumer will only need to pay for the volume of gas received.

List of documents required to sign a gas supply agreement. You should definitely have them with you.

1. your passport (or a signed power of attorney from the owner of the house);


2. a photocopy of the document from the State Bureau of Investigation about your ownership of the house;


3. Certificate of completed construction on the internal gas pipeline;


4. passport for the boiler, stove and gas meter.

In addition, you need to draw up a Gas Supply Agreement, open your personal account, you will be given a receipt to make an advance payment for gas for a couple of months in advance, as well as receipts for further filling. The contract will be handed over to you after the paid receipt is presented. Two copies of this Agreement should be made to submit to the PES.

Seventh step. Primary start of gas in the house.
You are obliged to sign an agreement with the GDO, which includes the issue of the initial start-up of gas and tie-in to the existing gas pipeline. After the permission is received from the gas distribution company, the customer must make a gas start-up contract, which specifies the work on connecting to the gas pipeline and launching the long-awaited gas (valve operation and setting the SHGRP). For this purpose, the customer must come to the PES, receive a receipt for payment from the estimator, and after the payment is made, the start date will be set. At the same time, there must be specialists at the facility who deal with the issue of setting up and starting up boiler equipment. When the house has a gas stove and according to the project - in principle, it is enough to turn on the gas; commissioning work on the boiler is most often carried out on the day of gas start-up.

How much does it cost to conduct gas, and how long will this process take?

To answer this question, it is worth considering some aspects. Among which is the remoteness of your house from the general gas. Here the diameter of the pipe section also matters. It should also be assessed whether the owners of neighboring sites will give the opportunity to conduct gas through their territory. It will be important to have their written consent that you are pursuing gas. Is there enough pressure in the line? How large the area of ​​\u200b\u200byour house - the amount of gas consumed will depend on this.

Very often, land owners who want to bring gas to their house, which is located in SNT, have problems. Often the boards of SNT delay this process, because they have an interest in making it possible to conduct gas only centrally. In such cases, the cost of gas connection is much higher for a SNT member.

If gas is supplied to a site that is intended for individual construction (IZHS), then in this case the situation may be hampered by the work to coordinate the installation of a gas main with self-government bodies. They may own, for example, the roads through which your pipe will pass.

Most specialists have the following practice: almost always there are not enough documents from the owners. Thus, assistance is constantly required in obtaining these same documents, after which gas wiring is the last task. The price is different every time, but on average it amounts to 200,000 rubles for the preparation of documents and another 100,000 rubles for all the necessary work.

In addition, you can distinguish between the period of gas supply to the house. When you want to carry out gas quickly, you should establish close cooperation with the existing gas services. When you don’t have special acquaintances, this process can take several years. It is better to entrust the work in the hands of professionals.

It is important to remember that a tie-in to the highway carried out with violations will be criminally punishable actions.

How can you bring gas to the country house?

If you want to make your dacha more comfortable, not to think about firewood and use it only for blue fuel, you will need to tinker a little with important documents and save up a good amount of money. It is worth remembering that connecting a gas pipe and purchasing equipment is a costly business. In addition, according to the law, all the expenses for laying inside the garden partnership will be borne by the summer residents themselves.

The first thing that is required is obtaining a permit for gasification. It is necessary to go to the local gas services with this question - these are Gorgaz, Raigas or others. There you will receive all the information on the conditions of gasification and a list of documents that need to be prepared for carrying blue fuel to the dacha. In the same place you will receive a form with technical specifications. Please note that it must be issued free of charge. According to the law, both verification and processing of all documents that you bring should be free.

You should contact the design organization to draw up a project. You should not try to catch what is cheaper - you'd better pay more, because design errors can cost you your whole life - gas is an explosive and flammable substance. Good specialists will fully study all the subtleties of your site or cottage and, based on them, will draw up a project.

When this stage is passed, you should give the project to the workers in the gas service. Based on it, design estimates will be prepared. This service will be paid and, and it should be considered at the rates of Glavgosexpertiza. In addition, you have the opportunity to contact a private company, where the price will be calculated according to personal criteria.

Next, you need to choose an organization that will supply gas to your dacha. When choosing a contractor, do not forget to look at his license for the possibility of gasification. It is also worth paying attention to whether employees have experience in this area. It is important to remember that the work does not end only with the laying of the pipe. They also have to mount all the equipment in your country house.

It is mandatory to conclude an agreement with the contractor and draw up an estimate. It must also include the price of supplying gas to the house - approximately 5-7 thousand rubles per meter. When the partnership does not have a gas network, it will be necessary to pay for its construction.

How to bring gas to the village?

In urban apartments, natural gas will bring heat to the house, but in the countryside, most are heated, as before, either with wood or coal. But, today, the issue of gasification of the village is quite acute, and when the settlement has no plans to gasify the area, then its residents themselves should think about the possibility of gas supply.

You must first create a group and legally register as a consumer society.

A charter should be created, a meeting should be held at which you will choose a person who, on behalf of your society, will receive all permits for the gasification of the village.

After that, your representative is obliged to submit an application to the regional organization that distributes gas, on behalf of all members of the society, for the possibility of obtaining those. gas connection conditions. The following documents must be added to the application:

• documents that confirm the authority of the person who signed the letter of request (application in writing);


• a copy from the master plan of the area, which indicates the location of your village;


• documents that will serve as confirmation of the ownership of existing gasification facilities or documents for land plots that need to be gasified.

After you receive the specifications for gas connection, you should contact a certain design organization to develop a connection project. Be sure to check the license and permission of this organization for such types of design.

After you find a contractor and build a gas pipeline, it will be important to sign a gas supply agreement.

A private house or a capital dacha is the dream of many citizens who seek relaxation, comfort and personal space. However, this type of buildings requires competent design of communications, one of which is a gas pipeline.

This is a complex and important process that ensures the comfort of housing. At the same time, many are sure that this procedure is simply not affordable for them. Let's figure out how much it costs to conduct gas to a private house.

In contact with

Why do you need gas in the house

When building a private house, it is important to take care of heating and hot water supply. Gasification in comparison with other methods has a number of advantages:

• affordable gas price;
• simplicity and ease of use;
• no need to stock up on fuel.

Do not forget about the environmental friendliness of natural gas in comparison with the waste generated by burning wood or kerosene. If it is necessary to sell a private house, the owners of a gasified site will be able to do it faster and more profitably.

Procedure for gasification

Before conducting gas to a summer cottage, it is necessary to build a certain sequence of actions:

1. To begin with, the site owner draws up a package of documents necessary for obtaining a work permit.
2. Then you need to draw up a project and technical requirements.
3. After receiving the documents, the customer selects the contractor and concludes an agreement with him.
4. The company carries out all installation and construction work within the specified time frame.
5. After the organization of the system, an act is drawn up on connecting the subscriber to the gas supply network, a meter is installed and an agreement is concluded.

Preparation of documents

The owners of the house are faced with the question of how to conduct gas, having issued it in accordance with all the rules. It is necessary to take care of the documentary preparation of works. To obtain permission to connect, you will need an impressive package of documents:

1. Written application by the owner of the property with a request to allow gasification.
2. Passport and its photocopies.
3. Ownership documents.
4. Permission of neighbors (if the pipeline will pass through their sections).

Important! Additional documentation in this case will be the consent of the territorial authority, if necessary, to confirm the legality of the work being carried out and a copy of the technical passport for the facility.

Obtaining technical documentation

Before you connect gas to a private house, you should obtain technical conditions.

This is a document that gives permission to connect the house to a nearby gas main.

This is a kind of confirmation that the supplier company undertakes to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to the construction site.

To obtain this document, you must contact the gas supply company and submit the following documents:

• passport;
• documents for the right to own the housing object and the site itself;
• act on the land of the state standard;
• site plan obtained from the chief architect of the area;
• technical passport of housing construction, which is issued by the BTI.

After obtaining permission, you can start design work.

What is a project

A gas project for a private house is the most expensive part of the gasification process. To compile it, you should contact the city gas or specialized companies that have permission to provide such services.

Project documentation should contain the following items:

1. List of connected equipment and its technical characteristics.
2. The location of the equipment in the house, taking into account the rules, the construction of the chimney.
3. Security measures appropriate to the type of building.

After receiving the project, you can proceed to the selection of a contractor to carry out the work.

Carrying out installation work

How is gas supplied to a private house? For this, an agreement is concluded with an organization that performs construction and installation work and has a license for them.

When choosing a contractor, the following points should be considered:

• the cost of gasification of a private house;
• turnaround time;
• legal literacy of the proposed contract.

To carry out the work itself, it is necessary to submit permits, as well as technical papers for the equipment.

The work consists of two areas:

• installation of an external gas pipeline-inlet;
• installation of an internal gas system.

The duration of such work for each company is different. On average, the period of direct technical laying of pipes and connections is from 2 to 10 days, subject to the availability of permits.

Gas pipeline laying methods

When laying a pipeline, the question arises where it will pass. Usually neighbors do not mind if part of the communications will be located on their site. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to find out what gas along the boundary means? This is the location of pipes on the border of neighboring sections.

The gas pipeline can be laid in one of three ways:

1. Underground. To do this, the pipes are laid in specially prepared channels to a depth corresponding to the requirements necessary for the area. The trenchless method of laying pipes using drilling equipment can also be used.
2. Overhead. In this case, the pipe structure is located above the ground. This method is considered cheaper, but requires the installation of pipe supports and additional protection against corrosion.
3. Combined. The most commonly used method is in which a pipe segment can be underground and then come to the surface.

When carrying out work, it becomes difficult to choose how to conduct gas to the site. Tapping into the gas pipeline can be carried out in two ways:

1. Cold tie-in, which does not require shutdown of the system. It is usually used when connecting new users to the backbone.
2. Welding is the traditional way to connect to the highway. This technology requires not only a preliminary shutdown of the gas pipeline, but also highly qualified specialists who will carry out the work.

The cost of connecting gas to a private house largely depends on the choice of connection method.

Basic rules for a secure connection:

• Tapping gas into a private house from a low pressure network should be carried out at rates in the range of 20-80 mm of water. Art.
• When connecting with high pressure, work must not begin before the level drops to an acceptable level. Otherwise, the use of specialized equipment for work in non-standard circumstances will be required.
• Welding and gas cutting are allowed in areas with pressures from 40 kg/cm to 150 kg/cm.
• The tie-in can only be carried out by organizations that have permission for this type of activity.

The gasification process consists of several successive operations:

• Surface cleaning.
• Connection markup.
• Making the necessary holes.
• Well treatment. Clay is used for this.
• Installing plugs made of clay and asbestos on finished holes.
• Cooling the treated area.
• Installation of a disconnecting unit from disks and flasks with viscous clay. To do this, first, a fragment of the cut pipe is removed.
• Installing a branch pipe for connecting a new pipe. To do this, weld the joints of the pipe and close the valve on it.
• Installation and welding of a new pipe.

Important! During the installation of the gas pipeline, it is necessary to carefully check the tightness of the seams and joints.

After completion of work and checking the quality of their performance, the operation of the gas pipeline system is resumed.

How much does it cost to run gas to a private house? Every year, the executive authorities set a fee limit for connecting real estate to the gas distribution network.

The rate is calculated per unit of gas consumption per hour. It breaks down into different factors:

• diameter of gas pipes;
• features of the gas outlet;
• pipeline material;
• power of the connected equipment (the maximum value is taken).

The rate varies depending on the territorial location of the property, if the laying conditions change.

The law that regulates prices establishes a framework for rates: the cost of work cannot be less than 20 thousand rubles, but cannot exceed 50 thousand rubles. However, it also specifies the conditions for fulfilling this restriction:

• the distance from the gas distribution unit to the network should not exceed 200 meters;
• the pressure of the gas pipeline under the project does not exceed 0.3 MPa;
• connection activities should not involve construction that is not related to the installation of the main gas piping system.

When calculating how much it costs to bring gas to the house, it is necessary to take into account the auxiliary costs specified in the contract:

• the cost of conducting a topographic survey of the site;
• expenses associated with the development of the project and its approval;
• the cost of purchasing equipment, pipes, adapters and other elements of the system;
• spending on construction work;
• fare.

The payback period for the money spent is from 5 to 8 years.

Prices vary depending on the location of the house, the characteristics of climatic conditions, the level of companies that carry out the work.

Unauthorized connection to the gas pipeline

Before you connect gas to a private house, you need to draw up a lot of papers. However, this step cannot be avoided. Unauthorized actions always lead to problems. Unauthorized connection to gas pipeline equipment entails not only administrative, but also criminal liability. Administrative liability is considered the mildest form of punishment.

Penalty for unauthorized tie-in can be:

• for individuals - from 10 to 15 thousand rubles;
• for legal entities - in the range from 100 to 200 thousand rubles;
• for officials - 30-80 thousand rubles.

If the theft of natural gas is proven, the person can be charged under article 158 of the Criminal Code, which provides for imprisonment for up to two years.

Important! The most terrible scenario is the circumstances under which people can suffer. Moreover, various injuries can occur during installation work, and after an unauthorized supply of gas to a private house.

In the first case, uncontrolled work can provoke emergency situations.

Illiterately mounted branches are not safe and reliable, which, if handled carelessly, can provoke a gas explosion.

In this case, utility workers, users or bystanders may be injured and burned.

In the worst case scenario, a fatal emergency could occur.

If this happens, the culprit can be charged with unintentional acts resulting in the death of people. Such a crime is punishable by up to five years in prison.

In the second case, illegally connected equipment is not marked on special utility maps. Accidents and accidents can occur if excavations begin in places where unauthorized pipes are located.

Competent execution of all necessary papers, timely payment for services and compliance with all technical requirements for tie-in to the gas supply system will allow you to forget about the problem of heating and providing the family with hot water for many years.
