How to find out how much to pay for gas

The meter is set so as not to overpay for gas cubes, which are calculated without a metering device at the average rate. The readings are taken, transferred to the supplier, based on the obtained values, the gas charge is charged. The amount depends on the actually consumed amount of fuel. After reading the readings, you need to correctly count the gas on the meter, so as not to mistakenly show extra cubes.

Calculation of gas consumption according to standards without a meter

If the subscriber no metering device or it does not comply with the established norm, according to a government decree No. 549 of 2008, the gas consumption is calculated by consumption standards.

Payment for gas in an apartment without a meter is considered taking into account factors:

• average monthly consumption rate;
• area of ​​residential and adjacent non-residential premises (when heating an apartment or private house);
• the number of residents (temporarily and permanently);
• the presence of a central hot water supply in the house;
• other information, for example about beneficiaries, that affects the calculation.

For the calculation, the standard volume is multiplied by the cost of a cube, approved by the government in a certain economic entity (region).

If there are several units, the total amount of the board is obtained by summing the volumes for each device. The subscriber is obliged to inform local service of Gazprom after the conclusion of a formal agreement on the installation of new columns, plates.

If a the fact of an uncontrolled increase in consumption becomes known to the supplier, he can recalculate the amount of the fee. The amount is changed for the period since the last visit of the controller, but not more than in the past six months.

Tariffs

Gas fuel is supplied to houses and apartments through the central highway, therefore, the corresponding costs are included in the tariff. Prices are revised annually, while taking into account inflation. Services in the regions of Russia have the right to establish a gas standard for 1 person without a meter, taking into account the correction factors in force in this area.

The tariff includes expenses:

• gas production, this includes the cost of construction of mining equipment and materials;
• transportation and fuel supply (includes costs for the construction of pipelines);
• fees and taxes;
• regional allowances (to 10%).

The gas consumer pays for the costs of the energy carrier. Each added cubic meter in the payment order increases the amount that will be paid per month.

Average believe that in housing without a meter one person consumes 10 m³ of gas, and the cost of blue fuel varies in the range 5 - 9 rubles per cube... Cooking is calculated by the number of family members, and heating by quadrature. The standards are set for 1 year or six months in advance without changes.

How to calculate the payment for gas by the meter

PP No. 549 indicates that calculations on the meter are done if the consumer uses appliances a certain model. Such samples must be entered in the State Register of Measuring Instruments.

Other rulesallowing you to pay for gas by the meter:

• the seal of the manufacturer or the company that last repaired or checked the meter has not been broken;
• a whole seal supplied by the gas supplier;
• the time for checking the device has not come, there is no delay;
• counter in working order.

If one of the conditions is not met, the device is discarded, and the board is calculated according to the consumption rate. The normative calculation is taken for the period from the date of the last check or conclusion of the contract until the date following the day of the new seal, but not more than six months in advance.

How to take readings

Time to take readings - 20th - 25th day monthly, while taking off the current value of the number of cubic meters of consumed fuel on the counter display.

Counter usage rules:

• the readings are taken without taking into account the zeros at the beginning of the number, they do not take into account the fractional cubes after the decimal point;
• the values ​​taken in the previous month are subtracted from the desired reading;
• the resulting difference is used to calculate the payment amount.

Reading the readings is usually not difficult. The meter is equipped with a mechanical structure with rollers, numbers are stamped on them. Most often, there are 7 - 8 such elements. Three of the digits on the right are separated by a comma and delimited by a frame. They are not taken into account when reading values. From electronic devices, indicators are read in the same way.

How to correctly calculate the expense for the current month

The estimated amount for the consumed fuel is calculated on the basis of the current reading and for the last month. The previous number is subtracted from the present number. The difference is needed to multiply it by the real tariff, which is relevant today.

On the websites of many suppliers there is online gas meter calculator... The service helps to quickly calculate the gas consumption and the payment amount. There is an option with and without a counter. To do this, indicate the absence or presence of a metering device, enter the past and present testimony, show the number of residents. Then they press a button on the screen to see the amount of payment.

How to fill out a receipt

In line "personal account»Indicate the personal account of the consumer, which consists of 12 digits. The first two of them show the regional affiliation of the dwelling. The account is registered in the subscriber's account book, where it can be specified. If only a 10-digit number is recorded, the numbers of the area encoding are put in front of it.

Filling rules:

• complete the surname, name, patronymic of the owner of the premises in the corresponding column;
• on another line, the address of the house you need to pay for is written;
• if the dwelling has a metering device, then fill in the columns intended for this;
• in the absence of a counter, make the appropriate mark, put the number of residents;
• in the line "penalty" write "advance", if payment is expected in advance, and in the column put the amount of the advance;
• in the column "for payment" the total amount is prescribed.

There are designated places for specifying the billing period, they are also filled out.

Calculation example

For an approximate calculation, you can choose a family living in Moscow uses a gas meter. Fuel goes to heating, stove, flow column. By tariff a cubic meter costs 4.9 rubles.

This month on the counter indication 850 m³, but in the past was 819 m³... Calculate the difference: 850 — 819, get 31 cc... The value is multiplied by 4,9, find the amount due for payment for the billing period - 151.9 rubles.

If there are many decimal places in the calculation, they are rounded up to two, while rounding up is done.

In some areas they use temperature coefficientif there is no thermocorrector in the meter design. Usually used k = 1.06: 151.9 * 1.06 = 161.01 rubles.

Where and in what time frame should the testimony be sent

The subscriber without fail submits testimony gas fuel supplier every month.

There are several ways to transfer;

• on the company's website in the user's registered personal account;
• by phone of the subscriber department;
• coming in personally to the service.

If the company does not receive information about the consumption, it can use to calculate the average consumption per month for a period of no more than a year, based on the previously obtained indicators from this user.

Does the gas meter benefit?

Installing the device will allow you not to overpay every time for cubes accrued at the rate. The amount of consumption according to the norm and according to the meter can vary greatly.

Reasons for the difference in volume:

• the subscriber saves gas, turns on the column, stove, convector only if necessary;
• the tenant is absent for some time, during this period the meter does not show consumption.

Ask an expert

What if no one lives in the apartment for a long time?

If the consumer is absent on a statutory charge basis, they will still have to pay for the cubes they did not use. With a long trip, you can write an application to the service so that consumption is not counted, but you need documentary evidence of absence (business trip, training in another city).

How to reduce consumption

In the standard calculation, savings do not play a special role, since the subscriber always pays the same amount. The essence of frugality is to reduce the readings of a gas meter.

Savings paths:

• In a private building enhance thermal insulation walls, ceilings, floors, gaps in windows are sealed to reduce heat transfer. Accordingly, the consumption of energy resources for heating rooms will decrease.
• In room control the temperature. If no one lives or everyone is at work during the day, the boiler is inserted at the minimum value.
• Carry out regular maintenance units, cleaning of burners, nozzles, timely replacement of out-of-order consumables, filters. The correct organization of the removal of combustion products is important.

Many users turn on the stove burners during the cold season to heat the air in the room. This is dangerous due to the appearance of a sudden leak, filling the room with carbon monoxide. Such misuse of the gas stove greatly increases the gas consumption.
