To have an individual gas boiler in their apartment is the dream of many residents of apartment buildings. And the thing is that the payment for gas that heats water and coolant is currently lower than for heating in general, from central networks. In addition, you can always run warm water over the batteries when it gets cool, without waiting for it throughout the house with central heating. Or turn off the boiler in advance when it gets hot in the apartment, and not release heat into the window at the central heating.

Many will argue that there are apartments with preinstalled individual boilers, who do not like the old fund, let them buy them, but, frankly, the prices for such apartments are unrealistically overpriced.

In addition, my friend refers to the fact that in his village there are already old houses cut off from the central heating and hot water supply, and at one time they installed heating boilers operating on a blue fuel.

I knew about such houses, and even had to take part in the installation of a modernized individual heating system. But now they have been banned and it is almost impossible to obtain permission for such manipulations, even with a furry paw... Now I will tell you why it happened.

But let's find out first:

How much does it cost to make individual heating in an apartment?

It is necessary to understand that having dismantled the old system, you need to create a new one. This will require new equipment, prices are approximate, it all depends on the size of the apartment and the economy of the owner:

Wall-hung double-circuit boiler (DHW and HEATING)- from 35,000 rubles.

Polypropylene piping and valves from 10,000 rubles

Radiator network, from 10,000 rubles

New gas meter and installation work monopolists from the gas service from 10,000 rubles.

Already at this stage, about 70,000 rubles will be required, plus the work of an installer is 10-20% of the cost of materials, and this is another 15,000 rubles. In addition, these actions require approval, so you will need to run through the instances. As a result, the recoupment of this venture started from five years.

Why is it now not allowed to make individual heating in apartments, in the old fund?

In our district, they stopped giving permission for the modernization of apartments on this issue. If before permission was given without problems for single houses, we have two-story houses, then over time there were more and more such applications. Two or three houses a month, in a general meeting, tried to get away from the central heating system. At the time, heating installers and plumbing vendors were making good money. But soon this shop was closed ...

Firstly, this is due to the fact that money from tenants began to flow in smaller amounts for offshore bills, and the maintenance of the boiler house and networks at the price remained at the same level, the energy supply the organization began to operate at a loss and they would have to increase the financial burden on those houses in which there was a central center. In addition, the load on the gas supply networks increased, and this required a change in the diameter of the gas pipeline and the modernization of distribution points.

As a result, catching up in time, the officials realized that money was flowing out of their hands. slaves residents of anthills and prohibited these disturbances.

After telling his friend about the obstacles, he was annoyed. To which I answered him: "Bullshit, we'll get rich somehow and build our own house with an individual heating system, even on gas, even on electricity, even on wood."
