Connecting a private home to a gas: features of the process of questions and answers

Answers to 16 key questions on grid connection to the gas distribution network in the Moscow region

Connecting homes to the gas - a long, expensive and complicated procedure. In the view of the consumer, there is too much bureaucracy and perestrahovok. Why can not connect to the gas by pressing buttons on the phone, how to speed up the connection, causing its price depend on?

Dmitry Golubkov, director general of JSC "Mosoblgaz" answers to these and other important issues of technological connection to the networks of the Moscow Region and New Moscow.

Why is the procedure for connecting to the gas so complicated?

Dmitry Golubkov

General Director of JSC "Mosoblgaz"

Gas - a fundamental value, rather than consumer goods. You can not go to the store and buy a technical connection to the gas. The service life of the gas pipe - 40 years old: the homeowner creates value for decades to come, and it should be created in the mind, and it will have a little patience. Even if you want to be hooked up by pressing the button of the smartphone, behind it will still be complex engineering work, which must first meet the requirements of security. All the things that, at first glance, seem to be excessive, sound reinsurance, were prescribed on the basis of safety standards for gas consumers.

Electricity - the same basic value but connect to it over the years to wait for some reason, do not!

Electricity Available tenfold higher gas availability. Electrification of the whole country, and especially the Moscow Region and New Moscow was carried out at the beginning of the last century. The length of the pipeline in the area of ​​56 thousand kilometers, and power grids - 550 thousand kilometers. In the region there are no areas where there would be no electricity, within walking distance there is always a power cable. If gas companies had such networks length, electricians, gas pipeline would be laid on every street.

We think consumers are not waiting for gas for years in western countries.

In Western countries, the developer all the infrastructure components should be at an early stage, without them he would not be able to begin construction. There's no one in the head does not come to ask for the connection to the gas. Our people build houses, to provide themselves with the three components of infrastructure - roads, water, light and gas become involved, has already built house. And, suddenly, there is the psychological stress: How so? I live here, where my gas?! ". But no one in advance of the matter is not attended to!

As far as heated gas is cheaper than electricity?

Heated gas is cheaper, but more expensive to connect to the network; electricity, on the contrary, connected cheaper but more heated. If you add up the costs for ten years, will get more or less equilibrium stories. Heat the gas is advantageous, provided low-cost connectivity, but if it is expensive to connect to a gas, it may make sense heated by electricity.

From what connection speed depends to a gas? What are the stages is the process?

When asked how to connect to the gas, I have a question - where is the nearest available point of attachment. To determine which of the nearest point, we can file a consumer gas, it is necessary to apply for a connection, attach the required documents. We will carry out hydraulic calculations and show the point of connection. Then, in the design process, we determine what route we will go - will have to get there someone's land, some objects? Further technical characteristics of the pipeline are determined. If the gas pipeline passes through the street where you live - will be no problems, the majority of these are the connections.

In practice, the fastest way to connect, if the pipeline runs close to the site, but often it does not happen because of the unavailability of the subscriber to receive gas.

If the pipeline is far from my site?

If the applicant has come to "Mosoblgaz" ungasified to the construction site, which has the potential to further gasification, the question arises, which reserve technological capacity must be laid for future connection (ridiculous to build a pipeline to a single subscriber, knowing that there will be someone still). For such cases, there are gas supply schemes that are being developed municipalities and the Ministry of Energy. According to him vividly you can imagine how the future of a territory will be gas pipes. In view of such circuits and the subscriber will be offered a method of gasification.

It turns out that the first subscriber pays more than all the others catching up on gotovenkoe?

We are trying to lay the network capacity from a technical point of view, the most rational to connect future subscribers. And yes, usually the one who is the first to pay the most. This is unfair to the first applicant, but it is the most common approach in terms of the development of infrastructure facilities.

And they say, you can connect the gas for 21 days!

Now we are trying to introduce a standard of "Gasification 21 days", but not all of it is suitable and not all want it. There is a certain set of requirements for an applicant who "weigh down" the connection process. For example, it is necessary that the subscriber provided by the deadline readiness boiler, gas-powered equipment, systems and thermal dymootvedeniya circuit for gas supply. Construction of the house should also be brought to a certain degree of readiness, chimneys and air ducts inspected by an authorized organization. Provided that if the consumer side everything is ready and assembled a complete package of documents, we will carry out connection within 21 days. And our people are on the subject for the day: in the morning came - and in the evening you have gas. Not to say that it is a mass practice, but it is real.

But "Gasification 21 days" - our internal standard. Federal legislation established routine life, and the first group is reduced to nine months.

But on the Internet a lot of intermediary companies that claim that they are direct contractors' Mosoblgaz "and guarantee the connection for 3 months.

Specialized organizations, which "Mosoblgaz" requested to provide agency services, does not exist, but we are no one can not deny it. If the consumer does not want himself to run and collect documents, it gives power of attorney to someone who does it for him. We do not welcome and do not prohibit, but officially no one trust certificates and documents do not give these companies - a legal entity, which provide agency services. From applicants we are happy to work for yourself, and we want to apply directly to us. Therefore, the consumer makes no sense to deal with intermediaries.

Why in one village may be a different value of the gas supply?

Each connection individually: there is no middle term of connections and average cost. The main component of the cost of connection - pipe construction cost from point A to point B. The more difficult it is, the greater the distance above the gas pressure in the pipe, the more expensive connection. And vice versa - if you have a low-pressure gas pipeline, and it goes on your street, you connect at very minimal rates.

Is it better to register the trumpet in the property or give DNT gas supplier?

As a rule, the gas pipeline - the property of a legal entity, which it was built. But this object requires constant maintenance and costs, so that the owners are willing to get rid of it. Yes, the pipeline can pass into "Mosoblgaz". This will require a full package of documents on this subject: the right to property, the information about the protected zone, executive and technical documentation that reflects the actual characteristics and location of the object.

The DST begins pipeline construction, it is planning to take part, exactly half of the owners, then the object will give "Mosoblgaz". How do we compensate the investment?

- In this case, compensate the investment will not work. After the gas pipeline will be owned by "Mosoblgaz" technical connection to it happening at the approved rates for the connection. The cost of connection is regulated by the Government of the RF subject - and then with no options.

- In the hands have a signed contractgas connectionAnd then from the "Gazprom Transgaz Moscow" comes a letter that can not be connected, as it will affect the gas supply to the other houses. What does this mean and how can it be?

- If the applicant has a valid contract of technological connection, the letter from "Gazprom" on technological closing GDS is overdue for it, because it can not change the status of already concluded contract. In other words, do not worry you in the described situation.

However, I believe that respond more widely. Each pipeline and each of the gas distribution network has a bandwidth limit to which a particular network is designed. When this limit is reached, each new connection becomes problematic: one consumer give gas, and it goes out at the other. There are several levels to this problem. When such a situation on our pipelines - it is a problem "Mosoblgaz," and it requires engineering solutions, understanding how we can "energize" the network, what action to take, the pressure was kept stable during peak periods and very coldy. Another thing - the restriction on the supply of power in our network of backbone networks through distribution stations from "Gazprom". Gas distribution stations also have capacity limits, and when they met, connection of new facilities is problematic, at the entrance, we do not get the volume of gas that promise consumers. There are a number of areas that are closed to connect for this reason.

And now, to sit without gas?
These engineering problems are solved "Mosoblgaz" and "large", "Gazprom" together. Sometimes it takes years, but the decision, however, comes. Each case is different and each distribution station we have a plan. It is capital-intensive and technically burdened with the problem: main gas facilities burdened protection zones - in each direction for 300 meters. For example, in the village of Arkhangelsk in the Krasnogorsk district of the city, where everything is built up, find a corridor of 600 meters for the supply of additional capacity - a huge problem. The closer to Moscow, the less ground for such corridors.

Are there any prospects at simplifying the procedure for connecting to the gas?

Gas pipe - a linear feature. Build horizontally ten times more difficult than to build vertically, it's all a proven fact, and the main problems connecting to the gas associated with this fact.

Construction of linear facilities regulated by the Urban Planning Code; to cross railways, roads, various cables, engineering and communication networks - and all you need to get permission. Moreover, for employees who are allowed gas connections for violating the rules of criminal liability.
But the procedure can be a little bit easier, we can improve the service and interaction patterns, and we are in a constant process of change and improvement.

How safe is the gas in the house?

Modern technologies allow to provide a high level of security, it can not be neglected. For safe operation of gas equipment must be provided with air supply and removal of gas combustion products. Therefore, such a high value placed on correct operation of the flue and air ducts. In addition, the rules should be documents confirming compliance with the established gas equipment with the standards and regulations.

If the boiler with an open combustion chamber is installed in your kitchen, where there is a plastic box, and in the winter you were sealed ventkanal because cold - expect trouble. When oxygen finishes, the gas released during the combustion of carbon monoxide - lethal to human life. In 95% of cases, the reason becomes tragic namely carbon monoxide poisoning. Man enough to do a few breaths to death. So for engineering relating to the air supply and discharge of the combustion gases, should be treated with complete responsibility, not to save her and to check the ventilation system and dymootvedeniya three times a year in accordance with the Russian legislation.
