Very often, citizens in their receipts for payment of utility bills pay attention to the reduction of VDHO. Since certain amounts are being contributed under this item, they are reasonably interested in: what is it?
In this article, we will try to give an exhaustive answer to this question.
What does VDGO mean
First of all, it should be noted that we are talking about indoor gas equipment.
In general, the system that provides gas to the housing stock of Russia is a web of pipelines connecting, in fact, every apartment in the country with the places where natural fuel is extracted. In addition to the transport routes themselves, it also includes compressor and distribution stations, underground storage facilities and many other special installations.
Gas pipe after entering the limits apartment building and turns into VDGO. Moreover, indoor equipment is divided into two categories:
- common use;
- private.
The first includes risers gas pipes, locking devices, including those that are inside the apartments (the first in a row). The latter, if necessary, can turn off the gas if a leak occurs or a change is required to carry out repairs.
The wiring located in a private dwelling, together with other installations connected to it (water heater, stove, boiler), belongs to the second category.
The legislation of the Russian Federation clearly defines that gas consumers should be responsible for the safety and performance of VDGO.
Is it obligatory to sign a maintenance contract
There is no need to doubt the need to conclude this agreement, if we take into account the increased number of accidents in apartment buildings, because a malfunction often leads to human casualties.
V Soviet time VDGO was on the balance sheet of gas supplying enterprises. Those who have found those times perfectly remember the regular visits of locksmiths from the city gas office. Then the cost of preventive maintenance was included in the “blue fuel” tariff.
However, later the authorities Russian Federation decided that there was no such need. Already in 2003, the content of VDGO and its maintenance were taken from Rostekhnadzor. Various companies began to perform this function, often having neither qualified workers nor necessary equipment... Licensing of this activity was not provided.
At the same time, just a year later, the Gosstroy of Russia approved the rules according to which the maintenance and operation of the country's housing stock is currently being carried out. This document contains a rule requiring a special contract for this service.
The unqualified and often fictitious service of the VDGO has led to the fact that the widespread dilapidation of intra-house communications was left practically unattended, therefore, more and more emergencies began to occur.
In order to put things in order in this market and make the life of Russians safer, government decree No. 549 in 2008 introduced norms according to which households are now provided with natural gas... A year later, the Ministry of Regional Development issued an order regulating the content of VDGO.
All of the above regulatory documents determined that consumers should be responsible for the state of gas communications. Thus, they are now obliged to conclude the appropriate contracts for the maintenance of the VDGO.
For prevention and repair gas equipment only highly specialized companies are allowed, in which there are qualified workers, the necessary equipment and an emergency dispatch structure is functioning.
Service of VDGO is carried out on the basis of the current agreement and in accordance with the requirements of the Russian regulatory framework.
The procedure for drawing up a contract
The obligation to conclude it lies with the owner of the specific equipment. He also has the right to delegate this matter to a third party.
Thus, most often the maintenance contract on behalf of all residents is signed by:
- Management Company;
- authorized, general meeting residents of an apartment building, person.
In buildings where citizens live under a lease agreement (for example, hostels), it is the owner or the asset holder that is responsible for concluding the agreement.
Service of individual equipment
Private property, which, in fact, are communications located directly in the apartment, should be serviced by homeowners. Since they themselves, for obvious reasons, cannot do this, they are allowed to conclude an agreement on the basis of which authorized organizations take care of monitoring the condition of the equipment in the apartment. This group includes, in addition to pipes and taps:
- boilers;
- water heaters;
- gas stoves.
All these Appliances are explosive and fire hazardous. Therefore, the only thing that can guarantee the safety of operation is a scheduled inspection of their technical condition.
Since the provision of services takes place on a declarative basis, the owner of the apartment must personally contact the company servicing the gas equipment.
According to the legislation, the gas distribution organization has the full right, in the absence of a valid contract for the maintenance of gas equipment, to shut off the gas.
Periodicity of VDGO check
The maintenance of all gas communications, both external and internal, must be checked at least once every 3 years.
Household appliances are inspected according to the manufacturer's conditions, but the law prohibits doing this less than once every three years. After the service life established for the above equipment has expired, maintenance should be carried out according to the results of the inventory. At the same time, old devices are checked annually.
The list of works performed in accordance with the concluded contract for the maintenance of VDGO implies:
- regular visits and inspections;
- Maintenance of locking fittings;
- visual inspection of the condition of painted surfaces;
- examination for serviceability and the presence of cases located in those places where the pipes enter the interior of the house;
- inspection of the reliability of pipe fasteners;
- tightness testing of joints (using a soap emulsion);
- checking the gas pipelines in the house for compliance with the standards;
In addition, it is also checked:
- integrity and completeness of gas powered devices;
- operability of cranes, their lubrication (if necessary, oil seals are replaced);
- draft in ventilation ducts and chimneys;
- the presence of a free flow of air and the quality of combustion.
At the end of the inspection, a repeated safety briefing is carried out with the consumer.
If a gas leak is detected within 12 months from the date of signing the contract, the elimination of the malfunction occurs free of charge.

But it should also be remembered that for the safe operation of gas equipment, in order to avoid leaks or explosions, it should be regularly inspected and any problems found to be eliminated.
This should be done by specialists with whom residents conclude a contract for the maintenance of gas equipment. And the owners of apartments themselves and everyone who lives with them and, accordingly, uses gas for domestic purposes, are obliged to familiarize themselves with the rules for its use. Let's figure out what is included in the concept of maintenance, who carries out it and what is the payment for maintenance for the population.

After the expiration of the service life specified in the documentation, the device can be operated further if its technical condition allows it.
This can be confirmed or refuted by the appropriate checks, which in this case are carried out with the frequency of one check per year. If the manufacturer does not specify the warranty period for the use of gas equipment, its maximum probable period operation - 15 years. Gas consumption meters must be changed every 10-12 years.
The cost of work under a maintenance contract varies depending on the region. Remember that consumers who avoid signing an agreement to inspect gas equipment run the risk of being cut off from gas supplies.
