Replacing a heating boiler in a private house. Rules 2022

Are you faced with a situation where your old gas heating equipment has worn out or is no longer efficient enough? It seems that solving this problem is simple - just pay money and in a couple of days the new boiler will take over the functions of heating the house, right? But in reality, everything is different, since replacing a gas boiler in a private house is a labor-intensive procedure and requires proper registration. And it will take more than one day, because you will have to visit the gas service several times.

What do you need to know and how to properly arrange a boiler replacement? We will examine all these questions in detail in our article. Let's talk about the rules and regulations governing the connection of gas equipment, and the responsibility of the homeowner in case of their violation. Let's look at the step-by-step procedure for replacing a boiler. We will supplement the presented material with visual photos and thematic videos.

What documents are needed to replace a gas boiler in a private house?

The first thing you need to do before installing a new gas appliance in a private residential building is to collect a package of documents.

It includes the following papers:

• a certificate indicating that the new equipment complies with the rules of safe use;
• ventilation/smoke duct inspection report;
• gas equipment service agreement with a warranty period of 1 year;
• project report (if required);
• technical passport for the installed boiler, as well as instructions for its correct use.

Penalties for replacement without approval

If the permit was not issued and the installation of new gas equipment was not approved, according to Russian law, the owner of a private house will have to pay a fine. This follows from Article No. 7.19 of the Code of Administrative Offences. The amounts that will have to be paid for violating this rule are also indicated there.

The fine ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles. If an emergency occurs due to an incorrect and unauthorized change from one gas apparatus to another, criminal liability may also arise. At the same time, upgrading a gas boiler with your own hands is not allowed.

Restrictions on installing a gas unit

There are restrictions when installing a new gas boiler that must be taken into account when choosing a modification:

• The area of ​​the room for installation must be more than 7 m2;
• the furnace room must have a door more than 0.8 m wide;
• lighting of the room should be ensured by installing windows in the ratio of 0.3 m2 of window per 10 m3 of room;
• ceiling height must be at least 2.5 m;
• natural ventilation in the furnace room should provide three air changes per hour;
• increasing the power of the unit will require changing the smoke exhaust system;
• there must be a cold water supply in the furnace room.

Cost of specialist work

Before replacing the boiler, you need to prepare a package of documents and set aside a certain amount of money to pay specialists for gasification of houses.

For the capital of Russia and the Moscow Region, the costs will be about 8,000 - 22,000 rubles, for St. Petersburg - 6 - 15 thousand rubles, for the regions - 4,500 - 12,000 rubles. The indicated amounts are given taking into account the removal of the old device, installation of a new one and various adjustment work.

How to replace a gas boiler in a private house, we’ll figure it out step by step

Let’s put together all the recommendations and rules for the competent, legal reinstallation of gas equipment in a private residential building with a new one. The 2022 rules suggest the following algorithm.

Stage 1: application for approval of technical specifications

To legalize the replacement of boiler equipment, you need to pay a visit to Gorgaz or Raygaz (depending on your place of residence) to submit the appropriate application for the provision of technical conditions (TU). If refurbishment is needed, a design will also need to be made, and for this you need to take out planning permission.

In addition to personal information, as well as data about the boiler and its future location, you will need to indicate in the application the planned volumes of gas consumed. The approximate number of cubic meters can be found in the device passport. If you encounter any difficulties with the calculation, you can seek help from specialists working in the city gas department. To do this, you must first submit a separate application.

After processing the submitted application and performing the necessary calculations, after some time (the date will be announced upon acceptance of the application), the technical specifications will be ready and the owner, upon presentation of a passport to confirm his identity, will receive it. It is believed that the processing time for an application cannot exceed ten working days (two calendar weeks).

By the way! If you do not know which gas authority you need to apply to, pay a visit to the local government organization in your area - they should forward the application to the correct organization within five days.

Stage 2: obtaining agreed specifications

The document issued after submitting the application is called “Technical Conditions”. This is a set of rules that must be adhered to. The data in the technical specifications is indicated in accordance with the current PP No. 1314 (connection rules) dated December 30, 2013 (as amended on March 19, 2020).

After reviewing the received technical conditions, the owner will see that they include requirements for ventilation and smoke systems, as well as instructions for the placement of the unit and device for recording the amount of gas consumed.

Stage 3: drawing up project documentation

New design documentation is not needed (issued at will) if the gas device will not be moved, but will only be replaced with one of similar power. This is stated in the Russian federal law on heat supply, issued under No. 190 of December 29, 2004. The following cases are an exception: more than one family lives in a house; housing intended for private use has more than three floors.

If for some reason you still decide to draw up and sign the project documentation, you will need to provide Gorgaz with a schematic schedule for the installation of gas appliances, which includes chimneys, boilers and other parts of the gas supply system of a private home and gas disposal. You will also need a visual diagram of the laying of the gas pipeline from the main to the building and a communications diagram.

The rules for replacing a gas boiler in a private house require that the above-mentioned papers also be accompanied by a certificate of conformity (if it was purchased from a third party), a grounding loop inspection report, instructions and a passport for the equipment. Gorgaz will also require you to show a service agreement concluded for a period of at least one year.

Stage 4: approval of design documentation

After drawing up the project, it needs to be formalized. Approval is carried out in the same organization - in Gorgaz. After submitting documents and until approval, it can take from seven days to four months (depending on the volume of work of specialized specialists at the city gas enterprise).

If all requirements are met, the gas documentation is approved and the project is successfully approved. To this end, the applicant (owner or owner of the house) is issued a duly certified document, which is an official permit to begin work on replacing the gas unit.

In case of refusal, it will be necessary to bring documents that do not comply with current rules into proper form and correct any errors that were made in them. The organization will issue the applicant with a corresponding written document about what errors occurred.

Stage 5: removing the gas apparatus

Dismantling should only be carried out with special knowledge and skills. This means that you will need to invite a professional to perform such work. He will first disconnect the old device from the gas, water supply and heating system. In addition, water is drained from the unit and all heating pipes.

Stage 6: installation of a new boiler

The installation of a new boiler is carried out by a licensed specialist who understands the issues of gas supply to residential buildings and has permission to perform such manipulations. There is no clear indication that you cannot replace the device yourself (a specialist must only make a direct connection to the gas), so this question remains open.

On the other hand, if the boiler installation/replacement algorithms are violated, the gas service may stop supplying gas for the private needs of the residents of the house. Based on the above, it is best to use the services of experienced specialists.

Stage 7: Test

As already indicated in the description of the sixth stage, the boiler must be connected by a professional. Naturally, the performance test is also carried out by a professional. A full inspection of the installed boiler is first carried out. The equipment is also started for the first time, after which it becomes clear to the specialist what defects or malfunctions are observed in the operation of the boiler.

Based on the test results, the invited employee fills out a report, which is later submitted to Gorgaz. If malfunctions are identified, the owner must eliminate them, after which the test procedure is repeated until a positive result is achieved.

Stage 8: notification to the city gas authority

Replacing an old gas boiler in a private house with a new one ends with contacting Gorgaz to report the replacement. Within five days after completion of the tests, a written application must be submitted to this authority. Don’t forget to attach an annual service agreement and inspection/activation certificates for ventilation.

Dismantling the old and installing a new boiler yourself

1. If there are no shut-off valves in front of the boiler, drain the coolant from the system.
2. Disconnect the boiler from the gas main, make-up and heating system.
3. Disconnect the chimney pipe from the boiler; if the model is wall-mounted, you can remove it along with the chimney by disconnecting it from the ventilation or wall.
4. Remove the boiler unit from the mountings (in wall-mounted models, the fastening plate screws may be located inside; to access them, you need to remove the front panel).

Installation of a new boiler is carried out in the reverse order and differs slightly depending on the model; a detailed algorithm with visual diagrams for modern models is always indicated in the operating instructions (passport) of the equipment.

You asked, we answer

Despite the abundance of information in open sources, owners of private houses still have many questions about replacing a gas unit. Let's try to explain them.

Is it possible to change the boiler in a private house yourself?

According to the Decree of the State Construction Committee of the Russian Federation No. 170 dated September 27, 2003, there is no ban on removing and carrying out a similar replacement of an old boiler. It turns out that one of the first stages of replacing a boiler, that is, removing the old one, can be done independently.

As for the direct connection of the boiler to gas, this work is performed by a qualified gas service worker. If the unit is replaced with exactly the same one (same manufacturer, identical brand, same power and article number), no additional approval is required, that is, in this case it is possible to do the replacement yourself.

Summarize. The answer to the question whether it is possible to replace a gas boiler yourself is: “yes, if no changes are expected in the equipment model.”

When replacing a gas boiler, do you need to change the design?

A replacement project is required if it is planned to replace the boiler with something other than a similar one. Thus, a project needs to be created when replacing a gas boiler with another, having a different power, a different product, manufactured by a different manufacturer. The project also changes for relocated boilers, if the owner of the house decides to change its location, for example, move it to another room.

Do I need to register a reinstalled boiler?

It is advisable to go through the entire procedure for registering a gas boiler as provided for in the rules and legislative acts of the Russian Federation. If the owner of a private house finds himself in a controversial situation and the gas unit has already been replaced, do not neglect checking with a specialist and registering it. These procedures will finally legitimize the installed equipment and provide you with peace of mind, because you will know that the gas apparatus is safe for use.

What documents are needed to replace a floor-standing gas boiler with a wall-mounted one?

Replacing one type of boiler (floor-mounted) with a completely different type of design (wall-mounted) is mandatory and must be registered after completing all the steps described above. Therefore, a complete package of documents is required for this. Among them:

• statement from the owner and his passport;
• technical specifications;
• a certificate indicating that the wall-mounted device complies with operating standards;
• service contract for 1 year;
• replacement project;
• ventilation duct inspection report;
• boiler test report;
• technical data sheet for the device, operating instructions.

The following documents will be completed and required throughout the boiler replacement process: some in the initial stages, others when commissioning a new wall-mounted boiler.

When planning to replace a gas boiler, you should immediately contact the gas service first. This must be done to submit your application. You can also clarify any unclear questions with the specialists of this organization and consult on the nuances of performing this difficult procedure, which will require the involvement of specialists.

What to do in an emergency situation?

Are you still undecided whether you need to change your gas boiler and when is the best time to do it in order to meet it in the shortest possible time? But you have once again encountered a breakdown and are worried that you may be left in the cold winter without heating equipment?

To resolve the situation with replacing the boiler in winter as quickly as possible, you should contact Gorgaz. The specialists of which will deliver and install a boiler that matches the power of the old one and will draw up the necessary reports without delay. This approach will minimize negative consequences and avoid penalties.

It should be remembered that individual requirements of regional gas services may differ. Therefore, it never hurts to get the necessary advice from employees of the specified organizations

As for the total cost in such a development of events, it will turn out to be quite high - such a purchase of a boiler is not always profitable.

Therefore, if time is of the essence, it is better to choose a boiler with the same gas consumption per hour of operation with an old unit. And after installation, notify Gorgaz about this, as indicated in paragraph “Features of replacing a boiler of the same power.”

How to make water heated floors with your own hands?

Today, the most common option for warm water floors is concrete water flooring.
Since in this design the pipes are completely covered with a screed, there is no need to install any additional heat separators. You can learn how to make a heated floor on the ground. Installation of concrete water floors takes place in several stages:

1. The entire room must be divided into equal sections, their area should not exceed 40 square meters.
2. The rough surface of the floor must be covered with insulation materials.
3. Next, you should lay the reinforcing mesh and install the pipe contours.
4. The heating system needs to be tested.
5. Pour the concrete screed.
6. After all the above steps, you can proceed to finishing work.

Marking the room is necessary in order to avoid cracks in the concrete screed due to temperature changes. The ratio of plots should be 1:2.

Concrete floors should be cleaned and then insulated with insulating material.

This is done to ensure that there is no heat loss in the room. A variety of materials used for these purposes in construction can be used as a thermal insulation layer. A layer of polyethylene must be laid on top of the thermal insulation material.

The reinforcing mesh should be laid in cells, the size of which should be 150 by 150. The cross-section of the mesh rods should vary between 4-6 mm. Sometimes a second layer of reinforcing mesh is laid on top of the installed pipes. Pipes should be placed on top of the mesh. This is done taking into account design features. Typically the distance between pipes is from 70 to 300 mm. Plastic clamps help secure pipes and reinforcement mesh. Sometimes special wire is used for these purposes. The pipes should not be rigidly fixed to the fittings, so that later when the temperature changes, deformation of the screed does not occur. We recommend reading the article “Electric floor - comfort and warmth of your beloved home.”

There are many ways to lay pipes, for example:

• spiral,
• double snake,
• snake

However, it is worth considering that when installing pipes in internal walls, you need to take as small a step as possible. At one end the pipe must always be attached to the supply manifold, and at the other - according to the design diagram.

When the pipes are laid, you should proceed to crimping. This procedure is carried out under working pressure. Pressure testing is necessary to avoid mechanical damage. After this operation, you can proceed to pouring the screed. Before this, the system should stand for a couple of days with a pressure of 3-4b. An article about the “warm baseboard” heating system will also be interesting.

At the end you can carry out finishing work. The final layer of the floor covering must be selected taking into account its temperature resistance. We recommend reading the article about laying solid boards on different types of flooring.
