How to change the gas stove on the electric in the apartment

Today, some consumers are dreaming use an electric stove instead of an outdated gas analogue model, explaining this solution with some advantages: the new generation electric cookers have a large assortment of automatic cooking programs, they lack open fire, there is no need to follow the pressure of the gas. We will describe how the replacement of a gas stove with an electric one in a house is carried out, where all apartments are gasified.

What you need to do

Everything that is written in the apartment passport, when moving or replacing, is related to redevelopment, therefore, any technical changes should be coordinated with the relevant authorities with the issuance of official permission.

Important! Administrative penalties are imposed on each owner who arbitrarily made various re-installations (Housing Code of the Russian Federation, article 29).

The gas stove is necessarily marked on the technical inventory bureau (BTI) plan, it is registered in the house and apartment's technical passport, therefore, it is necessary to notify the relevant organizations about replacing it with another product, and coordinate this re-planning with them. Visit to Fire Service Emergency You will need to obtain permission to dismantle the stove, supply gas communications and to operate the electric stove.

If you wish to make such a replacement while simultaneously re-registering the traffic for supplying electrical energy to your apartment (it will be 30% lower than that of the neighbors), at least two thirds of the total number of residents of your house must be voted for at the general meeting.

Power is allocated for each apartment of a multi-storey building:

• in the presence of a gas pipeline - 5 kW;
• with electrification without gas supply - up to 10 kW.

If you manage to get a positive decision, which is quite difficult - many simply vote against it, then go to management company. It should settle all the nuances with the city services, or independently upholste the thresholds of all instances.

As a result, we obtain such a list of all that needs to be done:

1. We write an official statement in the housing office.
2. We receive permission for reorganization from the serving gas organization.
3. At the general meeting we get welcome from 2/3 of the tenants.
4. From the company supplying electric energy we get permission to increase the power with a surcharge for each kilowatt above the allowed for the whole house.
5. We conclude a new contract with the department of the city service center (CSC).

All this is not done immediately - you have to spend a lot of effort, time and nerves.

1. Disconnect the apartment from the gas supply.
2. We carry out laying special cable 380V in place plate installation with the installation of the appropriate outlet.
3. We make out all the necessary documents for permission to operate the electric stove in the bodies of technical supervision.
4. We draw up an act in the housing inspection on the completion of the conversion.

As you can see, this process is rather cumbersome and costly on the financial side.

Pluses redevelopment

Some cons of such changes

1. If you buy a modern stove with a glass-ceramic coating, you will need the use of special dishes. For strong contact with such a surface, dishes with an ideally flat bottom are suitable.
2. Certain difficulties and technical nuances during installation: it is necessary to involve specialists. Leading a special cable with the necessary cross-section from the shield to the location of the new stove, installing a powerful outlet for 380 v is not independently performed by all users.
3. A sudden power outage for a long time will leave you without hot food.

If due to the increased load on the entire network of an apartment building, the switchboard ignites, then the entire responsibility will fall on your shoulders (and payment for repairs, including), while fine amount will increase many times. There may also be problems with the sale or exchange of housing, because in the technical passport indicated gas stove. Therefore, think carefully before making an unauthorized replacement: in a financial matter, you may win, but very little, and spend a lot of time and nerves.
