Sign up for gas
Ten en cuenta...
Si quieres dar de alta un contrato de gas natural, debes tener en cuenta estas cuestiones
Comprobar que dispones de instalación de gas natural
Un instalador de gas autorizado debe haber realizado una inspección de
la
Instalación Receptora Individual (IRI) para comprobar que tu instalación
cumple
la normativa vigente y que el gas llega a todos los puntos de consumo y
los
aparatos funcionan correctamente. Una vez realizada esta inspección, el
técnico
deja la instalación lista para su utilización y emite el Certificado de
Instalación Individual en la misma visita.
La tarifa a solicitar
Elige la tarifa de gas que más se adapte a tus necesidades. La decisión
depende
de tu tipo de consumo y de si vas a realizar un consumo bajo, medio,
medio-alto
o alto:
Tarifa 3.1: consumo inferior o igual a 5.000 kWh/año. Esta tarifa es la
más
habitual si usas gas solo para el agua caliente.
Tarifa 3.2: consumo superior a 5.000 kWh/año e inferior a 50.000
kWh/año. Esta
tarifa es la más habitual si usas gas para agua caliente y
calefacción.
Tarifa 3.3: consumo superior a 50.000 kWh/año e inferior a 100.000
kWh/año. Esta
trifa es la más habitual si usas gas para agua caliente y calefacción en
viviendas muy grandes y con piscina climatizada.
Tarifa 3.4: consumo superior a 100.000 kWh/año e inferior a 3 GWh/año.
Esta
tarifa es la más habitual si usas gas para agua caliente y calefacción
en
viviendas muy grandes y con piscina climatizada y con un consumo alto
del gas.
Required documentation
To set up a gas supply, you need to provide these documents. If you live in the Basque Country, you should send them to the distributor.
Copy of the certificate for the individual gas receiving installation. If the supply has been inactive for less than a year, just send the certificate from the previous installation.Otherwise, you will need to request a new one.
Copy of the thermal installation certificate, if there is a heating installation.
Copy of the certificate for the common gas receiving installation), where applicable (first gas connection for a community or a single-family housing development)..
Copy of the first occupation licence or opening licence, if this is required in the electricity supply contract.
How is the cost calculated?
When you sign up for a supply, two things can happen:
- If you do not have a natural gas installation, you will need to pay registration, connection and verification fees.
- You already have a natural gas installation, but with no supply, so there is no need for service connection.
In this case, you need to take into account...
Sign-up charge
The sign-up charge is paid only in the case of a new supply or
extension of an existing supply. This sign-up charge is a cash consideration that the
natural gas distribution companies charge when consumers sign up for the natural gas
supply service.
If you do not have a natural gas installation, , you will also
need a service connection. The service connection includes all the installations
intended for supplying piped gas to one or more users.
The service connection is
applied for by the natural or legal person who needs a new gas supply point or an
extension of the existing supply point, whether this person will be the end consumer or
not. Therefore, the developer/builder or the consumer can apply for the service
connection.
The cost of the sign-up, mains connection and inspection charges
varies depending on the distribution company and the autonomous region where the supply
point is located.
Mains connection charge
This is to cover the cost of connecting the customer's receiving
installation to the distributor's network. The distributor may decide not to charge
anything for the connection, but if so, the exemption must be applied to all consumers
in its supply area.
Remember that the amount of the registration, connection and
verification fees varies depending on the distributor and on the autonomous community in
which the supply is located.
Inspection Charge
Installation inspection involves testing and checking the
installations in order to determine whether they meet the regulatory technical and
safety conditions. The supplier can decide not to charge for the inspection, but in that
case it must apply the exemption to all the consumers in its supply area.
Inspection charges need not be paid:
1. If a report from an authorised gas
installer had to be submitted.
2. If a project and the work completion
certificate had to be submitted for executing the installation.
If you do not
have a natural gas installation, you will also need a service connection.
The
service connection includes all the installations intended for supplying piped gas to
one or more users.
The service connection is applied for by the natural or legal
person who needs a new gas supply point or an extension of the existing supply point,
whether this person will be the end consumer or not. Therefore, the developer/builder or
the consumer can apply for the service connection.
The cost of the sign-up,
mains connection and inspection charges varies depending on the distribution company and
the autonomous region where the supply point is located.
