“40 years with a stove and firewood”: gas has become happiness for families in Kaluga

Gas has already come to many houses of Kaluga residents and made people happy

Gas is brought to the land plots of Kaluga citizens free of charge. Such conditions of the social program. But the local authorities did not stop there. This is not all the help that was offered to residents. A short time later, in the Kaluga region, payments for gasification of households to privileged categories of citizens were increased to 100 thousand rubles. This decision was made by the deputies of the legislature of the region. Prior to this, compensation amounted to 80 thousand rubles. These funds can be spent on the purchase of gas equipment and related work inside the sites.

The family was able to take advantage of the compensation and fully return the funds for the costs of gas equipment Coal from Tarusa. Now a family with three children huddles in a small apartment in the center of Tarusa itself. Children want the very best. We decided to improve our conditions and build a house. The land was chosen 15 km from Tarusa. in the village of Lopatino. And what is comfortable living in a private house without gas? Having heard about the regasification program, mother Irina turned to the local gas company. “I was greeted very friendly there and explained what was needed to supply gas. It took about 9 months from the moment of submitting the documents to the launch of gas. For our family, gas in the house is heating in the first place. There is a gas stove and other equipment. If there was no gas, then it would be such difficulties, it is impossible to bathe a small child without hot water and heat, and the youngest is only 1 year old,” Irina shares.

Gas under the program was laid to the border of the house for free. Already after the start of gas inside the house, the family received compensation for the purchase of equipment. “They called us from social protection and said that such compensation is possible,” Irina said. The woman took all the documents and checks. In social security, they looked at the documents, they simply scanned them. All it took was one day. Then they called and were pleased that all the documents were in order. In general, the family spent about 300 thousand rubles on all the equipment. For large families, this is a huge amount of money. The region reimbursed 1/3 of the expenses, that is, 100 thousand rubles. “This is such a help to us. We will finish the second floor in the house and we already want to move in the summer. There, each of the kids will have their own room – the kids are looking forward to moving!” Irina shared with pleasure.

And here’s the family Laktyushins from the village of Ostrozhnoye, Dzerzhinsky District, Kaluga Region I am happy that finally I don’t have to stock up on firewood for the winter and heat the stove in the house.

Gas was brought to their village absolutely free of charge to each household. Already from the border of the site, Mezhraygaz started gas into the house itself. The family collected documents and applied for connection. The wait took about six months, such terms were spelled out in the contract. Yes, and half a year is a trifle for a family that has lived with a stove for many years. Irina got the house from her parents. He is about 40 years old and was heated by a stove all the time. The family gradually expanded the house, made an extension, but the stove remained, there was no gas in the village. “Gas is an incredible joy for us. We lived in a house with a stove. The boiler was fired with coal. My husband and I are divorced and I live alone with three children. We waited for gas in the house for a very long time, so six months after filing the application no longer played a role, ”says Irina. Everything changed overnight. A double-circuit boiler was installed in the house. The family spent about 250 thousand rubles on gas equipment, about 70 thousand received a refund. Now, for the happiness of the family, there is very little left – to bring water to the house. Zarechnaya Street in Ostrozhny, where the large Laktyushin family lives, is almost the only one where there is no water. Residents have repeatedly applied to the water utility and to local authorities with a request to bring a pipe with water to this street. There are miracles in the world, the family was convinced of this after supplying gas to the house, so they believe that water on Zarechnaya will also come to them. Buckets and trips to the well of the Laktyushins will also soon be forgotten.

After the start of the additional gasification program, the local population became actively interested in the issue of supplying gas to their homes. In the Kaluga region, a call center was launched to consult citizens so that residents do not worry and have the opportunity to get answers to their questions. And it worked. The news of free regasification spread with lightning speed.

So, Elena Chikanova from the Kaluga city of Kirov I learned about the possibility of supplying gas to her house from a friend. “Girls I know told me that I can apply to the city gas company with a statement about connecting gas to the house. We were very happy with this opportunity,” says Elena Nikolaevna. The family has many children, three children – 3, 12 and 14 years old. Not far from Kirov in the village of Zhilino, the family previously bought a small house with maternity capital. The lack of gas prevented settlement. I had to come to the gas service only 2 times. Documents were required.

The gas pipe in Zhilino was brought to the house. And then the gas had to be brought into the house. “I thought. Miracles don’t happen, but they do happen. After submitting the application, gas was brought to our house, even though it was winter, after 2 weeks. There was no limit to happiness, ”said Elena. The family already bought gas equipment for the house on its own. We needed a boiler and a gas stove. Here, in order to save money, everything was bought by hand. In general, the family spent about 80 thousand rubles on everything. A little later, the Kaluga region reimbursed the costs in the amount of 44 thousand rubles. “Of course, we are warm and comfortable with gas,” the hostess notes. Thus, the additional gasification program became possible for the most remote areas of the Kaluga region. Just one of these is the Kirovsky district.

The gas brings warmth to the homes of Kaluga residents, and the smell of a delicious dinner cooked on the stove makes a person return to his family sooner.
