Ensuring both financial payment and inspection of the hardware for the service provided is crucial
In the city of Krasnodar, it's crucial for residents to ensure the regular maintenance of their gas appliances. Here's what you need to know:
- By law, a specialized gas distribution organization (GDO) must perform technical maintenance on household gas appliances at least once a year. This maintenance is vital in preventing gas leaks, explosions, and other accidents.
- The technical maintenance contract is with the GDO that supplies gas to your home or apartment. To sign a contract, you'll need to submit an application and consent to the processing of your personal data.
- Specialists from "Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Krasnodar" will carry out the maintenance. They wear official seasonal clothing of blue colour with gray inserts. For your peace of mind, you can confirm the employee's authority by contacting the company's branch responsible for your area's gas supply, details of which are available on the official website.
- The list of services performed during annual maintenance includes inspecting the equipment's integrity, checking connections, checking valve functionality, cleaning burners, checking draft in chimneys, and instructing consumers on safe gas usage.
- The contract term is for at least 3 years and is automatically renewed unless either party requests termination within 30 days before expiration.
- It's important to note that gas providers have the right to shut off gas supply if access is denied twice, a service contract with the gas company is not signed, or equipment with an expired service life is being used.
- A private person who refuses access to a specialist for the inspection of a gas appliance twice may face fines or legal penalties according to local regulations. The penalties are as follows: first offense - 5,000 to 10,000 rubles, repeat offense - 15,000 to 25,000 rubles.
- Administrative penalties also apply for not having a valid maintenance contract. Physical persons face penalties of 5,000 to 10,000 rubles, officials - 25,000 to 100,000 rubles, and legal entities - 200,000 to 500,000 rubles.
- To stay compliant, familiarize yourself with the maintenance schedule posted on the official website in the "TO VDGO/VKGO" section.
- You can pay for gas equipment maintenance using your account number through "Smorodina online", "My GAS" personal cabinet, or QR code on the paper gas payment receipt.
- During annual maintenance, the technical condition of the electrical isolating connection should also be checked (if available).
- Employees must have and present a service ID with full name, position, director's signature, and organization's stamp.
Remember, the safety of your home and family is of utmost importance. Regular maintenance of your gas appliances not only ensures the safety of your home but also helps you avoid potential fines or legal penalties. Stay safe and compliant!
