Maintenance of gas equipment during the heating season: 7 important issues

What a gas consumer should know in order to get through the heating season without accidents or tragedies.

With the onset of cold weather, the number of emergency requests to the dispatcher console of service “04” increases sharply. The reasons are the same: gas equipment could not cope with the increased load or subscribers grossly violated the rules for using gas in everyday life. Experts answered questions about the safe use of gas stoves, water heaters and boilers during the cold season.

What most often leads to emergency situations?

Most often, emergency situations are caused by owners' failure to comply with basic gas safety rules: the stove is left on unattended or the stove is used to heat the room, clothes drying lines are hung from gas pipes, the ventilation is closed, there is no maintenance contract or no maintenance has been carried out for two or more years. etc.

Why carry out maintenance? What gives? What will gas workers do during the inspection?

During the cold season, gas equipment operates at maximum load. Therefore, at the beginning of the heating season, it is extremely important to check the performance of gas water heaters and boilers.

If you still don’t have a gas equipment maintenance contract, sign one. Gas workers will monitor your equipment so that it is in order and does not pose a threat to your life, as well as the life and property of others.

During maintenance, the gas worker must:

• inspection of indoor gas equipment to check integrity and compliance with regulatory requirements;
• visual check of the availability of free access (inspection) to indoor gas equipment;
• inspection of the gas pipeline for the condition of painting and fastenings;
• checking the tightness of connections and disconnecting devices;
• dismantling and lubrication of taps of household gas-using equipment;
• checking the functionality of devices that allow you to automatically turn off the gas supply, its adjustment and adjustment;
• regulation of the gas combustion process;
• checking the gas pressure in front of gas-using equipment with all burners running and after stopping the gas supply;
• checking the presence of draft in the smoke and ventilation ducts, the condition of the connecting pipes with the smoke duct;
• instructing gas consumers on the safe use of gas.

What are the consequences of refusing to conclude a contract and ignoring the inspection?
Refusal to conclude an agreement, as well as denial of access to gas workers to carry out work, may cause a suspension of gas supply. In addition, there are also administrative penalties.

What can they be fined for?

: for evading the conclusion of a maintenance agreement, for refusing to allow a representative of the gas service to carry out maintenance, for evading mandatory replacement or mandatory diagnostics of gas equipment.

What is the fine?

: for citizens - from 1 to 2 thousand rubles. If the listed actions led to an accident or a threat to the life and health of people, the fine will be: for citizens - 10-30 thousand rubles.

Why do they turn off the gas during the inspection?

In a number of apartment buildings, gas workers carry out maintenance of gas equipment, checking the tightness of gas pipelines and temporarily stopping gas in apartment buildings. The goal is to check the tightness of gas pipes, identify possible gas leaks and eliminate them.

It often happens that during control pressure testing (that is, checking the air pressure of the gas pipeline at the entrance), the device shows that the pressure is dropping, which means the gas pipeline is leaky - there is a gas leak somewhere.

In an apartment building, people living in the same building in the entrance are directly dependent on each other. Therefore, it is important that during maintenance all residents are at home, and gas is supplied as soon as possible after interruption.

To identify the causes of leaks, gas workers need to get into all apartments and check gas equipment. After all, gas can only be supplied into a sealed gas pipeline!

Can residents check gas equipment themselves?

No, inspection of gas equipment in the apartment is carried out by specialists of Tulagorgaz JSC annually under an agreement with the owner.

BUT!

Responsibility for proper functioning of gas equipment lies with the owner. Even if you are 100% sure that everything is fine with your gas equipment, maintenance is still necessary.

Residents need to monitor their service life and strictly follow gas safety rules:

1. before turning on gas appliances, check the draft;

2. do not cover the ventilation duct grille;

3. open a window or transom when using gas appliances;

4. do not use a gas water heater, forced ventilation and an exhaust hood at the same time;

5. leave operating gas appliances unattended.

What should I do if no one is home on the day of the maintenance?

For the convenience of residents, Tulagorgaz JSC has a flexible work schedule; maintenance of gas appliances is carried out on weekdays in the evening, as well as on Saturdays.

If residents cannot be present at home on the day of the maintenance, they can call Tulagorgaz in advance and call a technician at a convenient time by phone: 25-36-68, 25-36-56, 25-36-37 or leave a request on the website .

JSC Tulagorgaz strictly observes all coronavirus prevention measures recommended by Rospotrebnadzor. Before starting their professional duties, employees undergo body temperature checks every morning. They are provided with masks and antiseptics.
