It is required to you
- - common sense;
- - serious assessment of the situation;
- - law-abidingness
Instruction
1. If you something do not like the system of payment of gas on the counter, you can refuse similar way of accounting and return for payment on standard tariff. In certain cases it can be more favorable to you (if each person in family consumes more than 30 cubic meters of gas a month). But, as a rule, payment of gas on the counter is the most economic as average consumption rates of this resource are strongly overestimated by the person.
2. You can try to challenge tariffs for natural gas if they seem to you excessive. It is necessary to know that prices for gas for apartments with hot-water supply can be less, than in houses without it. The amount of payment in the absence of the counter directly depends on the number of the residents registered in the apartment. If you decide not to pay for gas at all, it can lead to serious consequences. Eventually the big debt for which opportunities to use gas can deprive of you will collect.
3. Some owners of apartments have quite clear desire to somehow twist indications of gasometer or to stop it. It is necessary to remember that carrying out any frauds with the device of gas accounting, you automatically become the violator of the law. Of course, in prison you will hardly be put (though similar precedents were), but the decent penalty will be written out surely.
4. Remember that any illiterate actions made by inept hands with the gas equipment are real source of danger to your life and life of the people surrounding you (if you live in multifamily house). Cases when because of illegal manipulations to the gas equipment there is gas leak capable to lead to explosion are frequent. Poisoning with gas with lethal outcome owing to incorrectly installed equipment or illegal connections is possible.
5. As alternative to various dishonest ways of "economy" of money, try to spend the gas delivered to you more economically. You watch that the water heated in the geyser did not flow without advantage. Accustom not to open yourself completely the crane with hot water - for example, when washing ware. In month such economy is capable to yeild quite tangible result.
