Is it profitable to install a gas meter and who needs it

Who is required to install a gas meter

According to lawFederal Law "On energy saving and energy efficiency improvements and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" dated 23.11.2009 number 261-FZ, Metering devices should appear in apartments and private homes that are heated by gas, before 1 January 2015. For the inhabitants of the Crimea and Sevastopol introduced postponement until January 1, 2021.

Counter does not need to be installed, if the gas flow rate is less than 2 cubic meters. meters per hour.

Under this definition accurately fit the apartment, where the gas appliances only have a stove. owners water heating column better to specify the fuel consumption in the characteristics of a specific device. Without the counter, you can do so, whose house is recognized as dilapidated or emergency before January 1, 2013.

Since 2019, and for the Crimea and Sevastopol - 2021, taking into account the device will be installed to force gas companies. Owner of a house or apartment is obliged to let employees to the place of installation of the device and to pay the costs.

If he refuses to do so voluntarily, to the costs Priplyusuet costs of court and forced recovery of money. The default amount is divided into equal payments that will be required to make in five years - with interest not exceeding the key rate of the Central Bank refinancing. The term of payment if you wish, you can change.

Profitable to install a gas meter

Look at how the installation of metering devices will affect the family budget with mandatory installation, and whether you think about it those who are under the law does not fall.

Because of the difference in the cost of metering equipment and services organizations that they are installed, the volume of consumable gas, tariffs and other characteristics of the calculations will not be universal. But based on them, you can learn on their own as it will affect the installation of the device, locking gas flow on your budget.

The cheapest on the counter "Yandex. Market"Worth 1079 rubles. For greater versatility calculations take an option a little more expensive - for 1980 rubles.

Install the appliance can only specialized companyRF Government Decree of 21.07.2008 number 549 (ed. from 09.09.2017) "On the procedure for the supply of gas for municipal needs of citizens"Having evidence of self-regulatory organization for admission to this type of work. Often, these organizations provide counters and their price is included in the cost of services. But there are those who are willing to use the customer's device.

The cost will depend on how much you gas appliancesWhether to install an additional pipe sections need gas valves and so on. Oplombirovka new meter is free of charge.

As a rule, the life of such equipment is 5 years. Therefore, we take this period as a universal for all metering devices and long enough to draw conclusions, as well as the applicable fees and regulations of St. Petersburg.

If you only have a gas cooker

specificationconsumption standards of municipal services for gas supply natural gas in residential areas in apartment houses and homes in St. Petersburg per person for an apartment with a gas stove is 10.4 cu. m per month. For a family of two people in gas costs per month amount to 130.6 rubles (20.8 m³ × 6,27983Retail natural gas prices realized by the closed joint-stock company "Gazprom Mezhregiongaz St. Petersburg" population). If the annual fees will increase by an average of 5% over five years family spends 8661 ruble.

Suppose, in fact, they consume only 5 cubic meters of gas per month. Then, under the same conditions for 5 years they will spend 2082 rubles. Add to this the cost of the meter - 1 980 rubles - and its installation. For example, "St. Petersburg gas service" according to the customer's device is set for 1970prices rubles.

As a result, issued 6 032 000 - and that's assuming that the cost the installation of the meter in the minimum amount of gas consumption and really small. If a family spends 10 cubic meters of natural gas per month, the savings will be gone.

The more a person is registered, the better to put the counter.

The actual flow rate with each new member of the family is increased is not critical, but according to the standards it increases significantly. For example, if the apartment had been prescribed four people, then to pay for gas have left more than 17 000 rubles per year. And for the baby specification is the same as for an adult.

If you have a gas stove and water heater

The ratio in this case is a cube 32 per person, and the same rate. Hence, a two-person household will have to pay 402 rubles a month. For 5 years, this will result in 26 656 rubles.

Setting the counter to the plate, and the column has been around 2970 rubles. A benefit depends on the actual gas flow and the efforts made for its economy. As a rule, the older the column, the greater the flow. Some units only at the expense of burning wick can coming up more than 10 cubic meters per month.

But even in this case, the "catch up" with the specification will not be easy. Especially if the apartment is registered for more than two people. 10 cubes on the wick, 5 - in the plate, and left stays 49 more cubes.

If you have a gas heating

Options, put the counter or put, is not here, so just we shall understand with the regulations and tariffs.

In St. Petersburg, the norm is 8.2 cube per month per square meter of space. As a result, even for a modest heating Khrushchev to 33 square meters. 270.6 m will need fuel cubes and 1700 rubles per month. House of 100 square meters. m already require 5 150 rubles. Gas spent on cooking, thus will have to pay separately.

Counter is definitely a profitable unit, and here's why:

1. According to the norm would have to pay the same in January, when the boiler operates permanently, and in April, when only need to periodically heat their house in anticipation of a full spring.
2. In most months, and then will always spend less gas than specified in the regulations, as for its determination uses averaged parameters.
3. Without the counter charge of the specification can charge and summerAbout An obligation to make a recalculation of payments for natural gas, excluding payment of the sum payable under the specification for heating. The device that secures the actual flow, in this case reliably insures you from overpayment, but only if you have not missed time replacement.

With the result that

1. The more a person is registered in the apartment with a stove and / or a column, the better to set the counter.
2. If you only have a gas cooker and prescribed for 1-2 people, the economy, even in the long term is not very impressive.
3. The less you use gas, the better to set the counter. If you heat water in a kettle, cook in multivarka and sometimes forget why you plate, the difference between the norm and the actual consumption has been significant.
4. When gas heating installing the meter is beneficial in most cases. But you have the law and no special selection.
