Since the beginning of 2025, specialists from the city services complex have checked more than a million gas stoves installed in residential buildings. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"Over a million stoves were checked for operation between January and August, which is almost 60 percent of the total. During the checks, gas workers eliminate minor faults on the spot, and if serious violations are detected, they eliminate the safety hazard and provide recommendations for further operation and repair," noted Petr Biryukov.

Special attention is paid to ensuring gas safety in the capital – all activities are carried out strictly according to schedule as part of the annual scheduled maintenance of gasified housing stock.

The service life of a gas stove is on average 10-12 years. After this period, the equipment wears out: gas taps break down, burner diffusers become deformed, and the thermal insulation of the oven is damaged. In such cases, it is impossible to maintain safe operation – the stove must be replaced. According to current regulations, each stove must be equipped with a gas control system that automatically stops the gas supply when the flame goes out.

The responsibility for the technical condition, maintenance and replacement of equipment lies with the owners or tenants of residential premises.

The dates and times of gas equipment inspections are announced in advance – the schedule is published on the website JSC Mosgaz, and is also placed on information boards in entrances and on the surrounding area.

The work carried out corresponds to the goals and objectives of the national project "Infrastructure for life". You can learn more about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution atspecial page.
