Key points
- Scheduled meter inspection is free
- Costs are covered by the gas operator
- Paid inspection applies only to consumer-requested checks or damaged devices
Ukrainian pensioners, like other household consumers, are not required to pay for scheduled gas meter inspections. Under current regulations, all costs associated with dismantling, transporting, technical verification, and reinstallation of the device are covered by the gas distribution system operator.
When does the obligation to pay arise?
- If the consumer requested an unscheduled inspection and no technical malfunctions were found.
- In cases where intentional damage to the meter or unauthorized interference with its operation is detected.
Experts emphasize that if you receive an invoice for an inspection, do not rush to pay it. First, it is necessary to clarify the basis for the charges and ensure that the service was not a scheduled one. It is important to remember that the consumer's only obligation is to provide specialists with unobstructed access to the metering device.
