This year, specialists from the city's municipal services department inspected nearly 1.2 million gas stoves installed in apartments, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.
"Between January and September, we inspected the functionality and safety compliance of nearly 1.2 million gas stoves, representing approximately 67 percent of the total. If any violations are detected, gas workers eliminate any safety hazards and provide recommendations for future operation and repairs. Information about the dates and times of inspections is posted on notice boards installed in building entrances and courtyards," noted Pyotr Biryukov.
More than 1.8 million families in the capital use gas stoves. Every year, specialists conduct scheduled maintenance on all gas-powered residential units. To ensure proper operation, it is important to regularly inspect the equipment, maintain it in good condition, and replace it if necessary. This responsibility falls on the owners or tenants of residential properties.
The average lifespan of gas stoves is 10–12 years. After this, gas valves typically wear out, burner diffusers become deformed, and the oven's insulation becomes compromised. In these cases, the equipment must be replaced. Modern stoves must also be equipped with a gas control system: it cuts off the gas supply if the burner flame goes out.
