The fact that the gas consumption meter significantly reduces spending on utilities is known to almost everyone, and there is no need even to make any calculations. Even "lazy" people write and say that the tariffs for energy are highly overestimated. Simple logic suggests that if you pay not on the normative, but on the fact of consumption, the amount will be much less. And practice proves this convincingly.
It should be understood that gas equipment belongs to the category of high-risk products. Therefore, the meter must be installed only by specialists who have attestation. In other words, there are many literates in the country, but this does not mean that such a counter can be established by a relative or neighbor, unless he is officially endowed with such authority.
How to install the gas meter
- First. You need to contact the information service of the organization, which supplies us with gas. Her contact numbers are indicated on the back of the monthly receipt for payment for the use of gas. The service specialist will explain the specific address for receiving applications. Even the number of the cabinet will tell.
- The second. It is necessary to appear personally in the gas service and write a statement. There it will be necessary to present a passport, a document certifying the ownership( or contract of employment) for this living space and a receipt for payment of "gas" for the previous month. If this apartment has several owners( in shares), then the application can write any of them. The specialist who accepts the application will say when to expect the visit of the master to produce the measurements.
- Third. You should think about where it is desirable to put the meter. It should be borne in mind that it should not be located closer than 80 cm to gas appliances( stove, if there is a gas column).Plus, the standards determined the height from the floor( not less than 120 cm).And in the rest - you can choose a place anywhere. Sometimes it happens that a specialist comes and pokes into the place where the counter will stand. But that's what he decided. And is it convenient for us? Therefore, the owner of housing has the right to choose the location of the installation, without violating the specified parameters. Naturally, the longer the length of the gas pipes( to and from the meter), the more it will have to pay for materials and work. But the money is small. If desired, the meter can even be integrated in the kitchen cupboard, hanging shelf. These questions also need to be discussed with the master when he takes measurements.
- Fourth. At the specified time, you must again visit the gas service, pay the cost of the project and works. With the master of the commissioning area you need to discuss the time when repairmen arrive to install the meter. And that's all. The rest of the work will be done by the representatives of the gas service.
You can buy a counter yourself, if there is information that it is somewhere sold cheaper than in the gas service( in their store).Only first you should ask the master what type of meter and what parameters you need to purchase.
