What is VKGO on the receipt and do I have to pay for it? Maintenance of gas equipment: rules for carrying out Maintenance of gas equipment

Blue fuel has made life much easier ordinary people in Russian cities. Thanks to gas, heat appears in houses, hot water and food. Many of our compatriots cannot even imagine how they can live without this undoubted benefit of civilization. However, in last years More and more often you can come across reports of gas explosions in apartment buildings, killing dozens of people. In connection with this situation, we are increasingly faced with the term VDGO. These letters are found on receipts for housing payments, regulatory documents and securities of management companies. This topic is given great attention at the government level, therefore, new legislation is being developed that will take into account all the nuances associated with gas equipment installed in apartment buildings and private buildings. Today you will receive comprehensive information about the concepts included in the definition of “VDGO”. We will consider these and many other questions together with our readers. Special attention We will focus on the maintenance of gas equipment, which is often interpreted differently.

VDGO: abbreviation decoding

Not all tenants understand these four letters, although they regularly appear on payment receipts. The decoding of VDGO is quite simple; the abbreviation simply means in-house gas equipment. However, experts argue that this concept is multi-level and includes several categories of equipment.

It is noteworthy that VDGO includes both devices located in an apartment building and equipment of private houses that fall under the category of individual residential buildings. Many also include this term and devices installed inside the apartment, although in reality they have their own designation.

Let's talk about VDGO in more detail

You now know how to interpret the abbreviation, but we will still make some explanations necessary for its complete understanding. So let's understand this issue together.

Gas supply to houses is carried out through pipes and distribution valves. They represent a confusing network of interconnected equipment for the average person. Most often, entire residential neighborhoods are connected to blue fuel from a single source. Based on all of the above, we can conclude that relatively apartment buildings VDGO is a system of pipes running from the gas source itself to the distribution point, from where the blue fuel goes to residents’ apartments. Also included in the understanding of the term are various devices located on the gas pipeline itself. These could be devices individual accounting, general gas volume meters, safety valves, systems that control the presence of gas in the air, and similar devices. All of them are installed in a residential building before it is put into operation and are necessarily checked for safety and serviceability by a special commission.

If we are talking about households, then VDGO includes all pipes passing through the land plot. Typically they are laid from a single source to all gas-based appliances. As in the previous version, this concept also includes additional technical devices, without which gas equipment cannot fully operate, and the homeowner will not consider himself safe.

VDGO maintenance: yesterday and today

Gas supply has always been considered an extremely profitable source of energy, but one should not forget about its safety. In order to safely use blue fuel, you need to be absolutely sure that all equipment is working properly and does not pose any danger to the owners of apartments and houses. For this purpose, regular diagnosis of VDHO should be carried out. But in this matter there are several pitfalls, which are why difficulties arise with the operation of gas equipment.

During the Soviet Union, the state of the VDGO was monitored very carefully. This task was assigned to gas distribution organizations. In accordance with the regulations, they carried out diagnostics and maintenance of all devices and the equipment itself. Worn components were promptly replaced with new ones, so Soviet period There were practically no cases of household gas explosions in residential buildings.

In the nineties the situation changed radically. The privatization of gas facilities began, but VDGO was not included in the balance sheet and, in fact, even during this period it remained without proper control. Some gas distribution organizations continued to operate as before and, despite corporatization, served apartment buildings. However, there were no funds to replace worn-out equipment with new ones during this period of time. Financing of gas facilities was extremely meager and many VDGOs were neglected.

In the late nineties, the government did not pay due attention to this problem. It is noteworthy that gas equipment was not even included in the list of hazardous production facilities.

At the beginning of the 2000s, it became clear that it was no longer possible to ignore the situation with the VDGO. Therefore, a law was passed that is still in effect today. According to it, responsibility for the technical condition of such objects falls on the shoulders of home owners, who must enter into VDGO agreements with any specialized organizations. However, the requirements for them were not approved, as well as the regulatory framework on the basis of which these firms could operate.

Today, the state has absolutely no control over such companies and does not compile lists of organizations approved for repair and maintenance of VDGO. However, the increasing incidence of household gas explosions forced the government to adopt a number of legislative acts in the gas industry.

Maintenance standards for gas equipment

In recent years, the state has begun to more carefully monitor issues related to the content of the VDGO. However, the main responsibility for the safety of technical devices still lies on the shoulders of their owners. But maintenance must be carried out within the time limits established by law. Once every three years, equipment must be diagnosed and, if necessary, repaired.

The range of measures taken is quite broad. They include the following items:

• diagnostics, maintenance and repair;
• replacing worn components as necessary;
• monitoring the condition of smoke and ventilation shafts;
• dispatch service.

Wherein legislative act There is also a mandatory procedure for concluding contracts. This must be done by each equipment owner. Only certain organizations that meet a number of requirements can carry out work.

VDGO: specialized service organization

There are quite a lot of similar companies now, because the law establishes very vague requirements for specialized organizations. The main thing is that they can provide the customer with a set of measures that we mentioned earlier. Thus, you can create a short description of such a company.

She must have necessary equipment and a set of tools for carrying out their activities, have professional personnel and be registered in the territory Russian Federation. In addition, the organization must create a control room and emergency services operating around the clock. Residents of apartment buildings and private buildings receive, along with signed contracts, a list of telephone numbers to call in critical situations.

It is noteworthy that despite the frequency of VDGO maintenance determined by law, emergency situations still happen often. And specialized organizations must respond instantly to each such case. It does not matter whether an agreement has been concluded with the owner of the equipment.

Cost of maintenance services

Let us say right away that this figure can vary significantly in different cities. The exact cost of services can be found out at the time of submitting an application for concluding a contract. If you enter into an agreement with the housing and communal services (and it, in turn, with the organization), then a small amount for servicing the VDGO will be included in your monthly receipt. However, please note that the maintenance itself will be carried out once every three years. In cases where gas equipment is very worn out and already requires replacement, which for one reason or another cannot be carried out immediately, diagnostics are carried out at least once a year.

Sometimes contracts are concluded directly between the homeowner and a specialized organization. In this case, you will learn the amount of payment from the company employees. It can be divided into several payments or occur once after the service is provided.

Features of concluding a contract

The initiator of the agreement can be any of the parties. Sometimes the homeowner plays this role, but the HOA can do this for him. It is quite normal for specialized companies to announce themselves and offer to enter into cooperation agreements.

To the handwritten application, the owner must attach a package of documents consisting of confirmation of ownership of housing, certificates for gas equipment, papers regarding the sealing of metering meters and a document indicating the date of the last inspection performed.

Penalties

Every citizen is like individual, and legal entities must necessarily enter into agreements for the maintenance of VDGO. Otherwise, a system of penalties is provided. When first imposed, the fine will be about two thousand rubles for ordinary homeowners and approximately one hundred thousand rubles for organizations using gas equipment.

If an accident occurs as a result of such negligence, the fine can range from thirty to four hundred thousand rubles, depending on the person at fault.

A repeated fine is usually twice the initial fine and may even cause a temporary suspension of the legal entity’s activities.

Security questions

Homeowners do not always think about the fact that they must carefully monitor their gas equipment. Only in this case can you safely use it and not be afraid of problems. To ensure the safety of VDGO, you must follow a few simple rules:

• it is mandatory to conclude maintenance agreements;
• do not allow third-party technicians to access the equipment;
• monitor chimneys and ventilation shafts;
• pay for the gas received on time.

Conclusion

Blue fuel is undoubtedly an environmentally friendly and consumer-friendly source of energy. However, we should not forget that its use must be reasonable and, above all, safe.

Household gas appliances require a special approach to maintenance and service. Mainly, the specific operation of such units is determined by increased safety requirements. In this regard, special standards and regulations are being introduced that regulate the rules for carrying out maintenance of gas equipment, as well as related repair activities.

Regulatory basis for maintenance

The need to develop special rules for maintenance and maintenance gas systems and units was due to the increased incidence of accidents in apartment buildings, which are also associated with equipment malfunctions. In 2013, a corresponding law was passed obliging owners of gas equipment to carry out annual inspections of operating units. Direct maintenance and repair of indoor gas equipment is carried out by specialized organizations with which an agreement is concluded. Resolution of the Russian Federation No. 410 regulates control and organizational measures in this area.

What equipment is subject to maintenance?

The target objects of control are any systems and devices that are located and operated in a specific residential premises. It must be emphasized right away that it does not matter in which house the living space is located - it can be private cottage, and an apartment building. Another thing is that maintenance and repair of in-house gas equipment can also be carried out by companies that initially carry out the maintenance of the facility. In this case, the legal registration of services for monitoring gas systems is simplified.

Now it’s worth considering which units are included in the list of equipment for mandatory regular inspection:

• Household communication devices. Almost all components and functional units of apartment buildings that are involved in gas supply processes. In particular, these could be gas risers and metering devices.
• Directly consuming units are boiler units, boilers, stoves and heaters that operate on gas mixtures.

Conclusion of a maintenance agreement

The subscriber, that is, the direct owner and user of gas equipment, is obliged to enter into an agreement with an organization that will annually carry out technical measures. To do this, you must submit an application to an organization that has the right to provide such services. To conclude a contract for the maintenance of gas equipment, it is also necessary to attach the following documents to the application (essentially, an offer):

• The applicant's identity card or constituent documents from a legal entity.
• If the application is made by a representative of the owner of the equipment, then a corresponding document is sent confirming the right to act on behalf of the owner.
• Documents confirming equipment compliance with existing technical standards.
• Documents containing the date when the gas meter was sealed.
• If we're talking about about an apartment in an apartment building, then the minutes of the meeting of owners, at which it was decided to conclude an agreement for the maintenance of gas equipment, are also attached.

What is stated in the contract?

In addition to indicating passport information about systems and units, date and location, a contract for the maintenance of gas equipment must also include the following information:

• Configurations for connecting to public gas supply utilities.
• A list of work activities that will need to be carried out as part of the maintenance.
• Schedule of inspection and repair procedures.
• Cost of services provided.
• Procedure and terms for making payments for services.
• Responsibility, rights and obligations of the parties.
• Period of validity of the contract.
• Other conditions under which technical and testing activities will have to be carried out.

Who can act as a customer of services?

There are several categories of organizations and persons who, in principle, can enter into an agreement with an organization for the maintenance of gas equipment. First of all, this may be the direct owner of the property in which this equipment is used. When it comes to internal general equipment, then the customer can be Management Company, cooperative, partnership or other organizations that are home owners or business entities.

As a rule, an agreement for the maintenance of gas equipment in a private home is concluded by the owner, but even in this case it is possible to hire a specialized company with an appropriate license, which will formally provide services to a third-party company. For example, if the owner big cottage entrusted comprehensive engineering services to one organization, then it can enter into an agreement with another contractor to carry out individual maintenance activities.

In-house equipment maintenance work

The most extensive work includes visual inspection, testing of devices, comprehensive analysis of the technical condition of communications, etc. Specific maintenance procedures for indoor gas equipment include the following:

• Checking the quality of installation of gas-using systems and assessing the compliance of pipeline laying with regulatory requirements.
• Checking the quality of painting and fixing devices of the gas pipeline. In this same part, specialists check the integrity of technological units - collectors, splitters and shut-off valves.
• Visual check to ensure there is sufficient free access to gas-using units and adjacent communications.
• Testing a gas pipeline for leaks using pressure testing equipment or soap emulsions.
• In an apartment, maintenance of gas equipment also involves checking the operation of ventilation and smoke ducts, which are responsible for the supply of combustion air and the removal of exhaust gas mixtures.
• The condition of fittings and materials is checked, including valves, seals, nozzles, taps, seals, etc.

Based on the results of the primary visual inspection a decision may be made to test equipment or repair work Oh. In the second case, sometimes a project for the execution of work is drawn up - it depends on the scale of the technical measures and the terms of the contract.

Features of gas stove maintenance

First of all, the quality of fasteners and the stability of equipment installation are assessed. In particular, how securely the stove is fixed relative to the countertop or other nearby kitchen furniture. Next, the fastening of functional elements is checked - grills, temperature indicators, burners, baking trays, etc. Special attention when maintaining indoor gas equipment is paid to automation, control and protection systems. To test such devices, a specialist can use electrical measuring equipment such as multimeters.

Features of maintenance of gas furnaces

Such units have high fire safety requirements. Compliance with the gaps between the furnace structure, walls and other installations is assessed. The general infrastructure of this equipment must include front burner sheets and a draft stabilizer. The quality of operation of these systems is also checked using special devices and devices. In the maintenance of stove-type gas equipment, the importance of draft is extremely high, so the controller will also have to check the movement of the damper in the chimney. Traffic intensity is measured air flow, and also evaluates the compliance of the mine parameters regulatory requirements.

Features of maintenance of hot water boilers

The complexity of boilers and other boilers operating in DHW station mode lies in the multi-level nature of the circuit piping. The master is required thorough check pipelines, connection areas and connecting the unit to the circulation circuits. The system is inspected to detect leaks and depressurization. In particular, the tightness of the contact pipes of the heat exchanger and coil to the walls of the combustion chamber is assessed. These are the most sensitive interfaces between functional parts. Provides for maintenance of gas equipment and carrying out cleaning activities. Using special detergents and abrasives, the surfaces of the heat exchanger and firebox are cleaned from soot, scale and scale. If necessary, filters and membranes of the unit are replaced.

Additional maintenance procedures

During the inspection process, not only the target equipment with communications is checked, but also cylinders with a gas mixture, if the source is not the central supply line. Individual cylinder installations, in particular, are checked for compliance with established pressure standards (2-3.6 kPa), tightness and structural integrity.

If necessary, as part of the maintenance of gas equipment, the technician can adjust the operation of the systems associated with the target unit. For example, if the operation of the boiler is controlled by a general automated controller, in which at the time of testing the device’s regulation parameters were set incorrectly.

Carrying out repair work

To carry out such activities, a special application is submitted and an equipment inspection report is drawn up, on the basis of which a plan for further action is developed. But this applies to unscheduled repair work, which may be associated with accidents or detection of breakdowns during normal operation. Planned repair and maintenance operations usually come down to replacing consumables, reinstalling individual components, etc.

Comprehensive maintenance and repair of gas equipment, for example, also includes the replacement of electrical wiring if it is damaged or the insulation coating is damaged. The most important repair and restoration procedures are associated with repairing burners, mixers, adjusting movable parts of equipment, and replacing supply hoses gas mixture etc. More complex events are entrusted to specialists service centers from the direct manufacturer.

Conclusion

Mandatory regular maintenance of household gas appliances by licensed organizations seems unnecessary and burdensome to many users. And there is every reason for this, since additional organizational hassle arises, not to mention financial costs. On the other hand, in the contract for maintenance and repair of gas equipment, you can specify optimal conditions inspections, which will at least minimize unwanted problems when performing scheduled controls. However, the very feasibility of such procedures should not be questioned, since we are talking about safety issues. And the usual practice of independent maintenance and repair without the help of specialists does not work in this case precisely because of the increased danger of the gas infrastructure.

Maintenance of household gas equipment (indoor gas equipment, hereinafter VKGO) from 01/01/2018. has become ANNUAL

The legal basis for this measure is Government Decree No. 410, adopted on May 14, 2013.

According to latest changes Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 9, 2017 N 1091 “On amendments to certain acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on issues of ensuring safety in the use and maintenance of indoor and indoor gas equipment”, a contract for the maintenance of VKGO with a maintenance frequency of once a year must be concluded between each homeowner and a specialized organization that will check gas-using equipment.

Also, do not forget that since 2003. Property owners are responsible for the condition of gas stoves, hot water heaters, indoor/in-house heating boilers and other gas-using equipment.

If the owners do not want to enter into an agreement with specialized organizations, they may be subject to penalties by the State Housing Inspectorate, and the gas supply may be suspended.

In connection with the amendments that came into force in Resolution No. 1091 of 09.09.2017. the Region 750 company reports that from 01/01/2018. VKGO maintenance will be carried out annually.

An increase in the frequency of maintenance entailed an inevitable increase in the cost of the service contract (previously, the frequency of maintenance of VKGO was once every 3 years, with the exception of equipment that, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, had exhausted its service life). So, from the new year, the cost of annual maintenance of a gas stove will be 89 rubles 94 kopecks per month (1079.28 rubles per year), and the service, which includes annual maintenance of a gas stove and water heater, will be carried out based on the cost of 209 rubles 88 kopecks per month (RUB 2,518.56 per year).

The VKGO maintenance contract with the Region 750 company provides for inspection once a year. During the inspection, the specialist checks the condition and operation of all gas equipment in the apartment:

• gas pipelines of an apartment or residential building,
• connected to the gas distribution network,
• gas-using equipment,
• gas meters,
• shut-off valves.

A detailed description of the work for each type of equipment is specified in the contract.

During maintenance, the specialist must:

• present a certificate confirming his qualifications and the right to carry out gas hazardous work;
• visually check the condition of the gas pipelines of the gas consumption network, gas-using equipment, the condition of the painting and fastenings of the gas pipelines of the gas consumption network, the presence and integrity of the casings in places where they are laid through the external and internal structures of buildings;
• check the tightness of connections and shut-off devices of gas pipelines and gas-using equipment;
• operability and lubrication of shut-off devices of gas pipelines of the gas consumption network;
• check the presence of draft in the smoke and ventilation ducts, the condition of the connecting pipes with the smoke duct in gas-using equipment;
• operability of safety automation for gas-using equipment;
• disassemble and lubricate gas valves;
• adjust the gas combustion process for all equipment operating modes.

The agreement also guarantees 24-hour emergency dispatch support based on the Agreement on Emergency Dispatch Support concluded between Region 750 LLC and the Krasnogorskmezhraigaz branch of the State Unitary Enterprise MO Mosoblgaz.

How to ensure safety when using gas equipment in an apartment

Gas facilities in a residential building. Who is responsible for what?

In an apartment building, all gas equipment is conventionally divided into two parts.

In-house gas equipment (VDGO)- these are facade gas pipelines and risers along the entrances along with taps. Management organizations are responsible for its technical condition and enter into maintenance contracts with specialized organizations that are authorized to work with gas equipment.

Indoor gas equipment (VKGO)- everything that is located after the shut-off valve on the branch to the apartment: this is a pipeline and connections, stoves, water heaters and boilers, control and safety valves, gas control systems for premises, a gas meter. The owner or tenant of the apartment is legally responsible for the technical condition of the gas facilities inside the apartment.

Why is it necessary to enter into a maintenance contract?

For security. Regular inspections and maintenance of gas equipment in apartments, carried out by gas specialists, will allow timely identification, for example, of a faulty or outdated stove, and therefore prevent emergencies. Remember, in the overwhelming majority of cases, tragedies occur precisely because of a malfunction of indoor gas equipment.

According to the law, home owners or tenants are required to enter into agreements for the maintenance of gas-using equipment. And everyone must do this, because even if 49 out of 50 apartment owners in a building sign contracts, and one does not, there is no guarantee of safety.

What kind of work is covered by the VKGO maintenance contract?

• Visual inspection of gas-using equipment, gas pipeline and its fastenings, inspection
• free access to them
• Checking the tightness of connections and disconnecting devices (instrumental method or using soap emulsion)
• Checking the functionality, setting up, adjusting and lubricating devices that allow you to automatically turn off the gas if its parameters deviate from the norm
• Adjusting the gas combustion process, cleaning burners from contaminants
• Checking gas pressure
• Checking the presence of draft in the smoke and ventilation ducts, as well as the condition of the connecting pipes of gas-using equipment with the smoke duct
• Instructing consumers on the safe use of gas at home

How often will maintenance be carried out?

If the service life of gas-using equipment is no more than 15 years - in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturers, and in the absence of requirements - at least once every three years.

If the service life of gas-using equipment is more than 15 years - at least once a year.

What organization is the contract with?

According to the law, a maintenance contract can be concluded with 000 AVG Engineering systems» or any other specialized organization that has permission to carry out activities for servicing in-house gas equipment.

Should all apartment owners enter into individual contracts?
