Connect a private house to the gas. Connecting gas to a private home: where to start

Today, more and more owners of country houses decide to gasify their homes. Unlike other types of heating, gas has a lot of significant advantages. The main thing to remember when connecting gas is the collection of all necessary documentation and the legal execution of gas supply. After all, unauthorized connection entails significant penalties. So, we bring to your attention the most acceptable way to carry out this procedure.

In order to connect a private house to gas supply, it is necessary to collect a sufficiently voluminous package of documents necessary for obtaining permission for gasification. All these papers are handed over to the permitting authority to which the property is territorially related. So you will need:

  • A written statement from the owner of the property, in which he requests to allow him gasification.
  • Identity document (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation)
  • Documents confirming ownership of the property in which it is planned to connect gas
  • If the pipeline that will be drawn to your private home needs to be laid through the neighbors' plots, you must obtain their written consent to carry out such a procedure

Additional documentation

It happens that a private house is not yet completed, and the owner is already starting the process of gas supply. In this case, the applicant must prepare an additional list of securities. These are documents such as:

  • The written consent of the territorial state body, which confirms the legality of the construction work
  • A document confirming the applicant’s rights to the land plot where a private house is being built
  • A certified copy of the technical passport for the property under construction. This paper must contain all agreed upon clauses of the law on gasification

When the private house has already passed the commissioning procedure, the list of necessary documents will be somewhat different. You will need to prepare the following papers:

  • The original of the act confirming the commissioning of housing
  • Certified copy of state registration certificate
  • A schematic plan of the facility where gasification is planned. This document must be executed on A4 sheets. The main condition is a clear trace of the boundaries of your home.
  • An estimate that includes economically sound technological calculations

Paperwork by proxy

The procedure for connecting gas to a private house is a rather complicated process that requires a lot of time. Therefore, quite often, owners do not have the opportunity to personally deal with this issue. In this case, the right to obtain all necessary permits, a person can be issued to a private person, who will subsequently represent the interests of the customer. The basis for obtaining the right to act on your behalf will be an ordinary power of attorney, certified by a notary. You simply attach this document to other papers that are submitted to the licensing authority.

What the gasification process consists of

When the owner receives all the necessary technical conditions, the process of gasification of a private house begins directly, which consists of certain stages and will require considerable time and money.

Design phase

Having on hand all the permissive papers, the owner must decide on the choice of the design organization. Today, the service market represents a very wide selection of firms and institutions willing to provide you with services of this kind. The most important thing to remember when contacting a design organization is that it must provide the client with the appropriate license to allow this type of work. The project drafting service is naturally paid. Usually its cost varies from 10 to 50 thousand rubles.

In order to avoid subsequent troubles, many people are immediately interested in the employees of GorGaz, which project organization they are best to contact.



  Fair house design scheme for gasification

All necessary measurements for drawing up an individual project for your home should be made by an engineer-designer who goes directly to the object. However, this condition must be spelled out in the contract that you previously conclude with the design organization.

It is the designer who is obliged to approve the place where it is planned to install the gas boiler and other equipment. And also to tell the customer which brand he should choose. After the design organization issues the owner the documents developed for it, the designer goes with them to GorGaz, where the approval process takes place. This stage of maxim lasts for 2 weeks.

Having received the gasification project, you can begin to draw up cost estimates. The next stage is the execution of a contract for the introduction of technical supervision and obtaining a positive act of inspection of the chimney.

Drawing up a contract with a construction company

When the design is left behind, the owner must contact the construction organization, which will carry out all work on gasification in a private house. If it is necessary to replace any communications available in the housing, this will also be the responsibility of this office. The customer must remember that the result of the activities of the construction company will subsequently be accepted by GorGaz, therefore, the company must necessarily have a permit and registration entry in the GORGaz registry. When choosing such an organization, pay attention to the fact that some companies have the right to carry out not only installation, but also design work. If you order all the services in the complex, you can save up to 25% of personal funds.

In order to avoid any misunderstandings, be sure to conclude a preliminary contract with the installation organization, which will indicate all the conditions for the construction work. The main thing is the observance of the terms of the order.

The stage of collecting executive - technical documentation

When the construction organization has successfully installed a gas pipeline and other necessary equipment in a private house, you can proceed to the next stage - the preparation of execution - technical papers. This document will allow the owner to receive a positive response from a special commission that will go into place to accept the new gasification facility. The composition of this group usually includes representatives of GorGaz, organizations carrying out the project and installation works, as well as the customer himself.

The commission, as a rule, works on the solution of the issue from 2 weeks to 1 month. If there are no violations, a GORGAZ employee will issue you a receipt, according to which you must pay permission for technical supervision. The amount of costs usually does not exceed 1500 rubles.

The commission will consider your facility only if all gas equipment is already connected and ready for operation. If the commission accepts the gasification facility, the construction organization provides GORGAZ with a full package of documents that will subsequently be stored in this institution.

After that, the meter will be sealed to the customer within 21 days and an agreement will be concluded with him providing for gas supply to the facility and maintenance of all equipment.

Passing Safety Instructions

This procedure is mandatory. The engineer of Gorgaz, who is responsible for this area, has the right to conduct it for you. Upon completion of the briefing, the owner of a private house signs in the safety journal. It is possible to conduct a briefing directly at the facility. In this case, it is performed during the launch of the gas supply.

Connection of the facility to the gas pipeline

The insertion of your gas pipeline into the common trunk can be carried out exclusively by a special organization licensed for this type of activity. After connecting, specialists will conduct a preliminary gas supply to eliminate the possibility of leakage. Such a service is paid. On average, its cost is 3000 thousand rubles.

Gas pipeline start

The final stage of the gas supply will be the launch of the gas pipeline. This procedure should be carried out by the organization with which the owner of the real estate concludes the relevant contract. This document prescribes all warranty conditions for all gas equipment. Usually it is made up for a period of 1 to 3 years.

During the start of gas supply, the owner must have in his hands a technological calculation that determines the capacity that is necessary to ensure uninterrupted heating and hot water supply to the facility.

Gas / Gasification in the Moscow region

They built a house, suffered for a long time with electric heating (a stove, a boiler in a diesel fuel, etc.) and finally ripened - it’s time to start gas ... This thing is scary with uncertainty and misunderstanding, where to start, how to continue and how much it will cost in the end ? Let's try to figure it out together.

Gasification of a private house. Determine the terrain

To begin with, we will determine where you are. The fundamental question is whether there is gas in your village or not? If not, the situation is seriously complicated. In this case, it is necessary to study whether the locality includes a gasification program for the Moscow Region. This information can be found on the Mosoblgaz website - http://www.mosoblgaz.ru/gazification/list/. In other regions, there are investment programs, which can also be found on the sites of the GRO.

If your village is not in the lists, then things are completely sour. The law does not provide for the possibility of gasification to the sweep as previously adopted. But Mosoblgaz goes to meet the collective applicants and accepts applications from non-profit partnerships formed by a group of citizens. Immediately make a reservation, members of any Non-Profit Partnership will receive gas at the borders of each section of the partnership member, and in 80% of cases the pipe constructed under the connection agreement will belong to the State Unitary Enterprise Mosoblgaz. This procedure is not simple and requires a separate discussion. Things are different in SNT. And this task also needs to be considered separately.

But suppose you have gas in your village (village, village). Take the ideal case - a pipe passes along your street at a distance of several meters to several tens of meters. What is the algorithm of actions in this case?

Gasification of a private house: who owns the nearest gas pipeline?

We start with the fact that it is necessary to find out whose property is located in the "pipe" closest to your house (land). Most of the low-pressure gas networks in the Moscow region belong to Mosoblgaz (state  the company is responsible for gasification and gas supply in the region). However, there are also numerous private or departmental gas pipelines that belong to other owners.

One of the most common cases is a gas pipeline laid at the expense of local residents' contributions and on the balance of the partnership they created. As an option - your neighbor laid the pipe at the expense of personal funds. A separate and complex history is gas networks in summer cottages (DNT, SNT, KP, etc.). The infrastructure on the territory of these settlements is owned by the association.

The problem here is that you will need to obtain permission to use it from the owners of the private infrastructure. What conditions for this consent will be arranged for you depends on how you negotiate and what the appetites of the owners of the gas pipeline are.

You can find out who owns the gas infrastructure closest to you by contacting local authorities or Mosoblgaz. And you can clarify the matter with your neighbors, who have already safely extended the gas.

Applying for gasification

Well, whose pipeline - found out. Next you need to go to Mosoblgaz. Even if the gas pipeline from which you will be connected does not belong to Mosoblgaz, the application for connecting to the networks must be submitted to this organization. Indeed, it is Mosoblgaz that possesses information about the characteristics of gas networks in the Moscow Region. And, therefore, it can determine the technical feasibility (or impossibility) of the connection in your particular case.

Mosoblgaz has a really good site, once again the link is http://www.mosoblgaz.ru. There you need to determine which of the company’s branches your settlement belongs to. This can be done here - http://www.mosoblgaz.ru/company/filials/. Contact this branch with an application for gas connection.

To apply, you will need to provide the following documents:

  • Passport (or power of attorney for the applicant's representative)
  • Title documents for the land
  • Situation plan with reference to the territory of the settlement

For some time now, an application can be submitted through the Personal Account on the Mosoblgaz website. Register now.

In Mosoblgaz, your application is checked for reliability, the source and technical feasibility of your connection are determined. As a result, if you have the technical ability to connect, you are given a draft Connection Agreement and Technical Specifications (TU) for connection. The term for preparing documents should not exceed one month.

Gasification of a private house in the Moscow region: work on the territory of your site

The TU will describe what exactly you should do on the territory of your site. Since gas networks are an object of increased danger and working with them requires the necessary approvals and qualifications, you will not be able to fulfill the requirements of TU yourself. It is necessary to attract contractors.

For these purposes, you can conclude a separate agreement with Mosoblgaz. However, you can also contact another construction organization that has permission to carry out gasification work. In this case, “work” is understood as the development of a project, laying a pipe from the boundary of the plot to your house, distributing gas pipes around the house and connecting a gas meter and gas appliances inside the house to them.

So, you sign the TU and the Contract, begin to carry out your part of the work. The cost and timing of TU implementation depends on many factors - the distance from the house to the border of the site, the amount of gas consumed, the type and number of gas-using appliances that you plan to install at home, etc. There is one pitfall: you won’t be able to start designing and even more so building a gas pipeline on your site until Mosoblgaz completes the project of an external gas pipeline and notifies you within 5 days about the connection point at the border of your site.

As for the contractor ... A private contractor will most likely make cheaper than Mosoblgaz. Yes, and communicate with "private traders" will be more pleasant and more convenient for you. But keep in mind: the project, which will be carried out by an independent contractor, will need to be agreed with Mosoblgaz. His own experts will verify the implementation of the technical specifications as a whole. All this must be weighed.

Naturally, you already have a question - well, and what will be the final price? As stated above, it is difficult to accurately estimate the scale of future expenses (the figures depend on your individual circumstances). But if it’s quite approximately - then for a house with an area of \u200b\u200b90 - 150 sq. project and construction and installation expenses will amount to at least 200,000 rubles. Plus, you need to pay the expenses for the purchase of equipment (boiler, meter, gas stove, etc.) And again - these figures are very arbitrary. However, you should not expect that you will be able to keep within a smaller amount.

Returning to the procedure for connecting gasification. At the end of the work at your site, you submit an application for checking the fulfillment of technical conditions to the customer service of your branch of GUP MO Mosoblgaz. They come, check, if everything is in order - make up the act.

Gasification of a private house: a “pipe” to the border of your site

At the same time, Mosoblgaz is doing its part of the work. “Own part” in this case means the construction of a gas pipeline from an existing gas pipe to your fence. To assess the cost and duration of the work that Mosoblgaz will carry out, one must answer the question: what category of applicants does your property fall into?

The fact is that, according to the current legislation on technological connection (i.e., connection) to gas networks, future gas consumers are divided into several categories. The most “preferential” of them, tentatively called “First”, implies that the hourly gas consumption exceeds 5 cubic meters of gas, the necessary gas pressure in the supply gas pipeline is not more than 0.3 MPa, the distance from the existing gas pipeline to the border of the section does not exceed 200 meters, and construction involves the construction of only a gas pipeline - input.

It is important that you can get into this particular group. For her, the conditions for connecting to gas networks are more or less formalized. In particular, it was established that the cost of constructing a gas pipeline to the borders of your site should be 53,350 rubles (as of 2015). The construction time is one year if the distance from the existing gas pipeline to the border of your site does not exceed 40 meters. And a year and a half, if this distance is more than 40 meters.

Naturally, you have a question, but what does the consumption of 5 cubic meters per hour mean? As explained on the Mosoblgaz website, hourly consumption of 5 cubic meters. meters of gas has:

  • gas boiler with a capacity of up to 43 kW (specify the power in the boiler data sheet)
  • boiler up to 33 kW + standard gas stove (4 coffee makers and an oven) 10 kW
  • boiler + stove + other equipment, all together no more than 43 kW
  • Well, or in aggregate, gasification of a residential building with an area of \u200b\u200bnot more than 150 m²

In addition to the conditional “first” category, there is also a “second” and “third”. They have a large gas consumption and distance from the gas pipeline. For the second category, for example, consumption is indicated up to 500 cubic meters. meters per hour. The time and cost of gas supply for these facilities is already from 1.5 to 2 years. Cost is calculated based on Standardized Tariff Rates.

But we proceed from the fact that your home fits into the requirements for objects of the "first" category. In this case, the summary will be as follows:

your expenses will consist of two parts, the costs of work (project, construction and installation, equipment, materials) at your site and work outside the site.

  • the cost of the first part is difficult to predict in advance, but no less than several hundred thousand rubles.
  • relative to the second part, there is more clarity - 53,350 rubles in 2015 (the price is fixed even if the source is 1 meter from your site). This is if you fall into the most preferential group of people connecting (consumption is less than 5 cubic meters per hour, the distance to the existing gas pipeline is less than 200 meters, the pressure in the source is not more than 0.3 MPa and only the gas input pipeline is required to be built).
  • gas connection terms will be from a year to one and a half (if you again fall into the preferential group). It is unlikely that you will succeed faster. Rather, the process will drag on.

Upon completion of work on your part and on the part of Mosoblgaz, you sign the necessary acts. Sign a gas supply agreement. Coordinate the start time of the gas. Next - enjoy))

Little conclusion

Life, unfortunately, is not as simple as we would like. And in your case, gasification at home can be complicated by additional problems and circumstances. However, we hope that our clarifications at least clarified for you the general logic of the process, where to go and who is responsible for what on the topic of gasification of a private house in the Moscow region.

With regard to the legislative framework of the process, the key in this area is the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval of connection rules (technological  connection) of capital construction facilities to gas distribution networks, as well as on the amendment and recognition as invalid of certain acts of the Government of the Russian Federation ”dated December 30, 2013 N 1314.

If in your communication with Mosoblgaz you plan to rely on a solid knowledge of your rights, be sure to read it.

Well and most importantly - without delay, submit your application for gasification to Mosoblgaz. The sooner you get down to business, the sooner you will become clear about the very possibility of gasification and its cost.

Representatives of Mosoblgaz assure that it is better to submit an application through the Personal Account. And there, to conduct all communication with gas workers. Unlike phone calls and personal consultations, correspondence through your personal account will be official. And you can use this circumstance, if necessary, to your advantage.

The Russians, the owners of private houses, in every possible way strive to facilitate their living in such a residential building. Therefore, they are equipped in such a way as to feel comfortable and cozy: in addition to electricity and water, they conduct gas. What is needed for this? What documentation is needed? How much does it cost to connect gas in 2017? Where to go for help? Consider all of these issues in this article.

The benefits of gasification of a private house

It would seem that by building or buying a private house, you can perfectly live in it without using gas. But its presence will make your life easier, since gasification has several advantages:

  1. environmental friendliness;
  2. lack of combustion products and unnecessary waste;
  3. the cost is lower than that of electricity; durability of the gas system;
  4. safety of use (of course, subject to certain rules);
  5. the ability to connect to a heating system, stove, gas stove, etc.

But how much it costs to spend such pleasure in a private house depends on the individual characteristics of housing and the cost of services of the gasification process itself.

The process of gasification of a private house

A prerequisite for supplying gas to a residential building is the presence of a gas pipeline in the village itself. If so, then experts say that the process of connecting a private house to the gas pipeline will be as follows:

1. Obtaining permission for gasification at Mosoblgaz (this condition works for residents of the Moscow region):

  • collect and submit to the appropriate organization the necessary package of securities;
  • fill out an application for concluding a contract (can be done using the Mosoblgaz online service);
  • conclude an agreement with a gas distribution company on technological connection to the gas pipeline.

2. Design (this procedure is carried out by experienced specialists):

  • the craftsmen who arrived at the site carry out the necessary measurements and topographic surveys;
  • according to the measurements made up the project, which will be carried out construction and installation work.

3. Construction and installation work within the boundaries of the land.

4. Conclusion of a gas supply agreement.

5. Launch of the gas pipeline system in agreement with the local gas distribution organization.

A private house can be connected to a common gas pipeline in several ways:

  1. above ground (using special brackets and supports for pipes above the ground, through which gas will be supplied to the house);
  2. underground (all communications are hidden in trenches dug in the ground around the building);
  3. combined (combine two methods together, for example, from the side of the street use the above-ground method, and in the courtyard - the underground).
  The choice of one of the methods determines how much the entire process will cost to gasify a private house.

Registration of necessary documentation


In order to gasify a private house and obtain the appropriate permission for this, its owner needs to prepare the following papers:
  1. application to Mosoblgaz (now this can be done without leaving home, that is, online, using the Internet services using the Mosoblgaz website
  2. identity document (passport);
  3. title papers on a land plot and a house built on it;
  4. situational plan of the site with reference to the territory of the settlement;
  5. copy of the registration certificate at home (take in the BTI);
  6. chimney inspection certificate (issued by the local fire department after a direct inspection of the residential building);
  7. technical documents for already installed equipment for the use of gas (for example, a stove, stove or boiler).
The consent of the nearest neighbors (preferably in writing, notarized) may also be necessary if the private house is in common ownership.

Services for connecting gas to a private house: where to go

On the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region there are several organizations that provide gas connection services to a private house. Consider what gasification work they perform:

Mosoblgaz. After submitting an application and concluding an appropriate agreement with this organization, the customer will receive the technical specifications (technical specifications), the implementation of all related work, verification of the gas pipeline and its actual inclusion.

The company "Elezar". Carries out all types of design work (including topographic survey and all calculations), acquires and delivers materials with equipment, installation of an external gas pipeline, physical connection to internal communications, equipment testing (earthwork is not included in the cost of the company).
  "Dokagaz". It will help to obtain technical specifications, coordinate the project with the regional gas supply organization, control all types of installation works and start up gas equipment, and also prepare all the necessary documentation for state registration.
"GazEnergoStroy". It is engaged in the gasification of turnkey private residential buildings (in addition to standard works, it performs heat engineering calculations, according to individual data of the house and the plot, calculates estimates, which include materials, equipment, and all types of services provided).
  Choosing a company that will gasify a private house, its owner should focus not only on the list of services provided, but also on their cost.

How much does it cost to gasify a private house in 2017

How much does it cost to connect gas to the house? The answer depends on several factors:

  1. From the prices of services established by the company that will perform all the work.
  2. From the type of connection:

standard (includes a certain distance from the residential building to the general gas pipeline, choice of gas meter, connection method, location, regional rates);

non-standard (depends primarily on the location of the house on the site, its shape, topography and soil quality).

  • 3. The volume of land construction works (based on the length of the highway).
  • 4. From materials and equipment used by specialists in the gasification process (for example, the use of polyethylene pipes, the installation of a coupling gas valve and meter, etc.).
The local gas distribution company will provide you with a price list according to which you can calculate how much it costs to connect gas to your home.
  According to the concluded agreement with Mosoblgaz, the fixed cost of all work included in the application is 57 thousand 297 rubles 90 kopecks. To this should be added another payment for design and construction works, which are estimated at estimated prices.
  The company "GazEnergoStroy" varies its prices, it depends on the above conditions. On average, their gasification services for a private house cost about 300 thousand rubles (this includes paperwork - 200 thousand rubles and construction and installation work - 100 thousand rubles).
  The LBM-Gazstroy company, operating not only in the Moscow region, has posted on its website a price list of all gasification services provided to individuals - gazoprovodov.ru/prajs-list. On average, connecting gas to a house will cost from 150 thousand rubles and more. The price depends, as mentioned above, on the cost of the materials used. So, laying a gas pipeline from steel pipes costs from 650 rubles, and polyethylene - from 1100 rubles.
The Elezar firm estimates its work at 300 thousand rubles. How much it costs to fully connect gas to a private house, using their services, depends on the installation of an external gas pipeline - one meter costs 4 thousand rubles. The remaining prices are included in the contract.
  Experts estimate that connecting the gas in the Moscow region will cost at least 500 thousand rubles. But how is it, because the prices provided by various companies are much lower. Let's try to deal with all the nuances.

Consider the details:

  1. coordination and endorsement of permits (preparation, collection, receipt of technical specifications plus acceleration of the process, since it takes a period of one and a half years) - 200 thousand rubles;
  2. design and approval with a gas trust, its subsequent registration - 20 thousand rubles;
  3. wiring pipes from the highway to the house and along it - from 3 thousand to 50 thousand rubles (although it all depends on the meter);
  4. insertion into the general gas pipeline (carried out only after the conclusion of the contract with the gas company) - from 30 thousand rubles;
  5. reception of a gasified private house by the relevant authorities (gas inspection), this includes the conclusion of another agreement on gas supplies and maintenance of all equipment, as well as an act from the fire inspection authorizing operation - from 50 thousand rubles.
Experts offer a way out: to reduce the cost of all the listed services for the gasification of a private house, you can unite with neighboring homeowners, that is, draw up documentation for several houses at once. But in this case, coordination of this nuance with the local administration and the project gas organization is ahead.

The centralized supply of natural gas to the house gives its owner a number of advantages in resolving the issue of heating and hot water. Indeed, in our country, it is during gas combustion that the generated thermal energy has a minimum cost compared to burning liquid fuel and consuming electricity. Of course, heating wood or coal is cheaper, but much more difficult in the physical sense.

If there is no gas in the house yet, but the village is gasified, you need to connect the building to a centralized gas supply.

Gas connection to a private house: where to start?

The rules and procedure for connecting residential buildings to a centralized gas supply are regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1314 dated 12/30/2013. It doesn’t matter if the house has been commissioned, is under reconstruction, is under construction or while there is only a land for construction and design. You can start work on connecting to the gas pipeline at any time.

It should be noted that all issues regarding the connection of gas to a private house can be decided only by its owner or the representative of the owner, acting on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.

Gas connection

  • To connect to the gas pipeline, you need to contact its owner. If there are several gas pipelines in the immediate vicinity of your home, you must select the nearest gas pipeline and contact the owner with a statement, or rather, a request for the issuance of technical specifications for the connection. In this case, it is necessary to submit documents confirming the ownership of the house and the land.
  • Within 14 working days, the technical conditions for connection must be issued or a written justified refusal must be given.
  • Having received the technical conditions and having studied them, the owner decides on the further feasibility of gasification, and if it is positive, he makes a statement (request) to conclude a contract for connection to the gas pipeline.
  • The organization that owns the gas pipeline must send the applicant a draft connection agreement within 30 days from the receipt of the application, and that, in turn, must sign it (also within 30 days) and send one copy to the owner of the gas pipeline.
  • After signing the contract, both parties (the landlord and the gas distribution organization) carry out all the activities stipulated by the technical conditions for the connection.
  • Upon completion of all work, the parties sign the act of connecting the house to the gas pipeline.

For owners of small houses with a gas consumption of less than 300 m3 per hour, the law provides for a simplified connection procedure, without obtaining technical conditions. It is enough for the owner of the house to immediately apply for a connection.

Calculation of consumption is made taking into account all gas appliances installed in the house: heating boiler, water heater, hob, convector, fireplace, etc.

At the same time, the maximum level of gas consumption indicated in the technical data sheets of the devices used is summarized. Another important point: the power of the heating boiler must correspond to the area of \u200b\u200bthe house. If the owner of the housing with an area of \u200b\u200b100 m2 presents those. passport for a boiler with a capacity of 2 kW, then the calculation will include not its maximum flow rate, but the average value of the flow of the boiler, with a thermal power of at least 10 kW.

In the technical conditions received by the owner of the house during the first appeal to the owner of the gas pipeline, the following information should be indicated:

  • Maximum allowable gas consumption per hour
  • connection term
  • technical period

If the owner of the house decided to connect to this particular gas pipeline and made a corresponding statement, he will be given specified technical conditions, which will indicate:

  • information about the gas pipeline and the nominal gas pressure in it
  • gas pipe material requirements
  • requirements for metering devices and equipment

What should the owner of the house do to connect gas


The gas distribution company supplies gas only to the border of the owner’s site. The gas pipeline from the site border to the entrance to the house is the property of the owner of the house. It is mounted by the owner of the house on his own. This will require a project that can be developed by a gas supply company or a design organization that has an appropriate license.

If the project is ordered from a gas supply company, then all the issues of its coordination will be fulfilled by the employees of this organization. The development of the project is necessarily stipulated in the gas connection agreement. The owner of the house may additionally be requested the following documents:

  • house project
  • site survey
  • layout on the communications section

The owner of the house can submit his own project, made in a third-party organization, but in this case it must be agreed with the gas distribution organization. The project may have to be coordinated with a number of third-party organizations (power networks, water utilities, etc.)

After the approval of the project, the owner of the house works through the gas pipeline in his section in accordance with the project documentation. The gas supplying organization takes it into operation and connects the gas.

The law sets a deadline for gas connection: no more than 2 years must pass from the moment of conclusion of the contract to start-up.
