Unreasonably high cost of connecting to a gas pipe. Calculation of the real cost of work

The article Examples of the cost of connecting a private house to the main gas. Why is it so expensive and what to do? I gave examples of the cost of connecting to the main gas. A solution to the issue was also proposed: if the connection is more than 500 thousand - calculate the installation of the heat pump. This is comparable in price to gas heating (calculated per 1 kW of heat). In the European part of Russia, there is enough TN "air-air" or "air-water".

There were also opinions in the comments who believed that connecting to a gas pipe at a cost of 100 thousand. - this is a normal price level (but for the village it is a lot of money). For such, I want to give an example, approximately the same in terms of the cost of connection with a description of the picture "for what": distance, trench, amount of work, etc., look:

The conclusion is unambiguous, even the price is 150 thousand. rubles indicated in the video is inadequate. Its author also admits it.

To this cost is added, in addition to the boiler itself, an autonomous source of electricity (with a margin of several hours). Their cost (battery + inverter) can be up to 100 thousand. and higher. Their cost showed

here. So the initial investment in gas can ruin the whole economy of this heating. Gas is becoming more expensive than all other energy sources. I mentioned this fact in the article: This electric heating scheme is cheaper than gas heating

So that this article is not unfounded, that I have invented everything, here is another small selection of the cost of connecting to a gas pipe from the comments of readers:

There are dozens of such comments at the link at the beginning of the article.

Also in the comments, readers expressed their opinions as to why there was such a situation with unreasonable figures for connection. The main reason is monopoly in this area. And the process involves affiliated organizations from the monopolists themselves - gas suppliers. And in such a situation, there will certainly be speculation. Their logic is primitive: if you build a house, you have money. If you want to heat cheaply - pay these unreasonable amounts. You cannot bypass us, there are no other organizations. We set what amounts we want.

In general, this is a huge problem on a national scale. in the comments reported their examples from different regions. With this legalized robbery, you need to decide at the government level: regulate the price level. Those. treat the cost of connecting the private sector to gas as a tariff. If they cannot (or may not want) to create fair competition (we already live in capitalism), then the cost of services must be tightly controlled. In this area, it is necessary to establish order: to take control and regularly check tariffs by the Accounts Chamber.

Let's roughly calculate based on the average price level for similar services in the field of water connection services. Because the process of tapping into the gas main is not much more complicated:

• connection project: 1 day of work of the designer. And in fact, several hours, tk. everything is the same and most of the material is copied from the previous project. 3 thous. rub.
• 10 m trench: 2 hours of work and 2 hours of excavator travel. Let it be 12 thousand. rub.
• pipe: 100 kg. 5 thous. rub.
• welding and corrosion protection of the pipe: 2 people, 1 shift х 3 thous. rub. = 6 thousand rub.
• gas meter and flap 5 thous. rub.
• tie-in to the trunk and system check. Included in the paragraph above. Departure of the supervising specialist: maximum 5 thousand. rub.
• trenching and landscaping: 2 hours of bobcat work. 6 thous. rub.

Total: 47 thous. rub.

Yes, I forgot about the profits of the organization, where all this staff is working. There is also a director, deputies and an accountant. Usually, the estimated profit is set at 30%. It turns out: 61.1K rub. Maybe I didn't take into account something - write in the comments.

These are the prices for 2016-2018. The order of the price is the same. The third slide is the cost of connection in 2015. Even if the amount is 2015. doubling is not the hundreds of thousands that organizations are asking for today.

If the organization owns the staff of all these specialists and is accredited, then the amount may be less if the connection will take place immediately to the street or village. And now these organizations in this area have 1000% profitability (connection 400-600 thousand. rub. Is not the highest price). Is it okay?

Another interesting information appeared yesterday. It turns out that gas prices can go down. Not with us. And in Ukraine:

Before that, there was a price of 17.5 rubles / m3 (translated into our rubles). Do we have any examples of tariff reduction for monopolies? Or can things only go up? Can't you stop it? Why should their profits rise twice a year? After all, this starts the process of inflation. Even a schoolchild already understands this. As they say, this is how we live ...
