Why does the gas meter shake a lot: analysis of the causes and recommendations for their elimination

How to check that the counter is winding more

According to state norms and manufacturer's requirements, electric meters are required to undergo regular verification by a specialized organization for the serviceability and correctness of data recording. The frequency of verification is determined by the manufacturer's requirements, reflected in the instrument's passport.

In case of overdue verification, the meter readings are invalidated, and the consumer's electricity bill is assigned based on current standards. This situation is also typical for devices in the case of:

• the presence of mechanical damage;
• damage to the seal or the impossibility of checking its integrity;
• lack of output of measurement results;
• exceeding the permissible error, according to the established accuracy class;
• expiration of the standard operating life.

But sometimes it becomes necessary to conduct an extraordinary verification due to the following circumstances:

• the size of the monthly indications has increased significantly, without changing the usual lifestyle and volume of consumption;
• the opposite situation - when the number of measured kilowatt-hours has sharply decreased. You should not leave the situation to chance, because otherwise the supplier will take measures to verify the validity of the meter readings. And if the causes associated with the malfunction of the device are identified, the responsibility will fall on the owner;
• the volume of consumption significantly exceeded the comparable number of kilowatt-hours from neighbors or acquaintances.

To check at home the correctness of taking into account the readings of the electric meter, you do not need to have knowledge in the field of electrical engineering. The technique is quite simple. The owner must do the following:

1. Turn off as many consumer devices as possible, leaving a few of those on, the exact power value is known.
2. Calculate the power of the devices remaining on by summing the values. For example, if a refrigerator is turned on that consumes up to 2 kWh and two lamps of 0.04 kWh each, the total amount of readings per hour should be 2.08 kWh.
3. Record the current meter readings.
4. Mark the value of the counter after the past hour of time and subtract the smaller value from the larger value.

If the result obtained by calculation differs significantly from the actual one calculated from the readings of the electric meter, then the device is faulty and action is required.

Options for illegally stopping a gas meter

Let's look at the possible options for illegally stopping the counter and their consequences. This information is given for informational purposes only and cannot be taken as a guide to action!

How can I stop a gas meter with a magnet, and is it always effective

The Internet is full of advertisements for the sale of miraculous magnets that can disrupt the operation of water, electricity and gas meters. How realistic is the magnetic field?

The flannel will not scratch the case, and controllers pay attention to scratches in the first place. In addition, the fabric layer will allow you to effortlessly pull the magnet off the case if necessary.

If you do not use cloth, then it will be almost impossible to tear off the neodymium from the counter - after all, the breaking force is almost 200 kilograms, or even more!

What magnets are recommended to buy for installation on a gas meter

Plow economists admit that only neodymium magnets can give any result. Indeed, they are seven times more powerful than conventional magnets. The place of attachment of neodymium to the metering device is established experimentally, in most cases this is the front panel of the device

It is important to choose the right size of the disk, the force of impact depends on it

Which gas meters stop and which do not stop with a magnet

In practice, only a gas meter with an electromechanical device can be stopped.The most "capricious" in this regard, devices with membrane filling. Let's take a closer look at the models of their susceptibility to a magnetic field.

Interacts with a magnet:

Questions and answers

The consumer has a question how to pay for gas during the replacement period. The law considers two possible options. The first assumes that the subscriber independently discovered a malfunction of the device or a violation of the integrity of the seal installed on it and notified the gas supplier about this on the same day. In this case, the fee will be calculated according to the standards for the period from the day when the malfunction was discovered until the day that follows the day the new meter is installed.

The second option assumes that the subscriber did not notice the malfunction or tried to hide it, the problem was discovered during a scheduled or unscheduled inspection by gas service specialists.Then an act is drawn up, on the basis of which the gas supplier has the right to recalculate consumption according to current standards for the entire period that has elapsed since the previous check. At the same time, it is stipulated that this period cannot be more than six months.

In addition, a fee will be charged for the meter replacement period, as in the first case. Thus, the consumer will receive a receipt with an amount many times higher than his usual payments. There are cases when a consumer in good faith reported a malfunction of his metering device, however, he was offered to pay a receipt with a recalculation for the last six months of consumption.

In this case, only a won lawsuit can correct the situation, and this practice already exists. However, litigation is not the most pleasant scenario. What can be done to protect yourself from unfair demands? Here are some recommendations.

1. If a malfunction of the meter is found, the gas supply company must be immediately informed. Her details, including phone number and address, must be indicated on the receipt, which is used to pay for the consumed gas.

The counter does not work correctly or is broken?

Most often, if it is noticed that the meter readings do not correspond to reality, consumers are in a hurry to give gas metering devices for verification. As a result, most often it turns out that the counters are working.

Since this procedure is paid, do not rush. First of all, if you find that the gas consumption meter is not working correctly (winds too fast / slow, the numbers do not change when the gas is on), you should notify the gas service.

The main reasons on the basis of which the gas meter winds unreasonably much:

• problem with gas equipment;
• a leak;
• nearby electrical appliances.

In the first case, you need to calculate how many cubic meters of gas you use per month. If a single-circuit gas boiler is installed in the house, in which only one heat exchanger is involved, while the consumption of blue fuel is 10-20 cubic meters, then the reasons for such a huge consumption should be analyzed.

First, it is recommended to check the energy efficiency in terms of heat retention. Warming the house can solve this problem and gas consumption will be significantly reduced.

Membrane gas meters are used in private houses and apartments, which provide accurate data. These devices are easy to use

One of the most common reasons for winding extra cubes is a leak. Therefore, it is worth checking the system even if there is no smell. After all, with a leak, the smell of gas may not be felt.

You can check for leaks yourself. To do this, coat all connections and the gas valve with soapy water. The presence of a leak is indicated by emerging bubbles. In this case, urgently need to call the emergency gas service.

If you find a leak, turn off the gas. It is forbidden to use the stove

The operation of the gas meter can also be affected by electrical appliances located nearby. To eliminate this option, simply try turning off the device or moving it to another place. Many users note the incorrect operation of gas metering equipment if there is a microwave nearby.

What to do if you find that the gas meter winds a lot:

• it is strictly forbidden to open the counter, interfere with its work and break the seal;
• after arrival, the repair team is obliged to attest to the safety of the seal;
• depending on the result of the inspection, the device can be dismantled and taken away for testing;
• if there is no leakage of blue fuel, before the arrival of the gas service, you can safely use gas appliances.

If the meter is beyond repair, then you are required to issue a document according to which you are shown the replacement of the meter.

Carefully monitor the representatives of the gas service so that during the inspection they themselves do not damage the seal, and the blame for this is not shifted to you. This happens quite often. The foremen then extort money from the tenants to "fix" the issue.

For the period during which you do not take readings from the gas flow meter, the payment for gas is carried out in accordance with the generally accepted agreement for the supply of blue fuel. Most often, this is the average gas consumption rate, which is calculated from the day you contact the gas service.

If a malfunction of the gas meter during the check was discovered by gas workers, then the monthly fee is recalculated for the previous six months. In both cases, consumption standards are overstated.

To avoid such a situation, the consumer should carefully monitor the operation of the gas meter and equipment. Responsibility for the serviceability of all appliances in a residential area lies with its owners.

Why does the new gas meter wind more?

People who have individual gas meters installed often complain that they take inflated readings every month. The data obtained is strikingly different from those recorded by the old device.

Employees of the gas service explain this by the fact that the old device did not work correctly due to the wear of the mechanisms. As a result, it showed that the blue fuel consumption per month was lower than the actual consumption. After installing new devices, the readings are true.

A gas meter is a mechanism whose design is as simple as possible. The speed of rotation of the "propeller" depends only on the amount of gas passing through it, so it can no longer wind. On the contrary, the rotation speed may slow down if the mechanism sticks, which is often observed in older metering devices.

Very often the problem lies not in the meter itself, but in the gas equipment. For example, if a powerful outdoor gas boiler is installed in a dwelling, its gas burner consumes 0.5 cubic meters per day. In a month, a decent overspending is obtained. In this case, the readings change, even when the gas equipment is turned off.

Fault reporting procedure

Having decided to check how much a personal gas meter winds, and suspecting something was wrong, most users contact the gas service. There are a number of nuances in this procedure, knowing which you can save your money and nerves.

An analysis of judicial practice shows that court cases do not always end in favor of the consumer. The reason for this is the inability to prove the fact of contacting the gas service

Consider the situation

The owner of the apartment noticed that the new gas meter winds much more than the old one, does not work correctly or is faulty and turned to the gas workers. Calls to the gas service are ignored

The experts don't come.

A week or even a month later, the inspector comes with a check and discovers a malfunction.An act is drawn up and soon an invoice arrives for paying for gas for the past six months at an average tariff with inflated norms. Having no desire to contact the courts, most consumers pay the receipt, because they understand that the balance of rights is shifted towards the gas workers, and not the consumers.

And here is another example. You found a problem and called 04. The check came to you, identified and fixed the problem. Later, you will receive an invoice for gas payment at average rates for the past six months. In any situation, consumers are advised to be vigilant and take a number of preventive measures.

Algorithm of actions to avoid unnecessary financial expenses:

• report a malfunction to the organization that sends you payments (contact details are indicated on the receipts);
• during communication with a representative of the gas service, find out if your appeal is recorded and in what form;
• the best solution is to report the malfunction of the meter in writing;
• when the gas workers come to you with a check, find out if their visit is a reaction to your application or is it a scheduled check (if you don’t get a clear answer, call the gas service).

Try to protect yourself from trouble in advance.

You will learn how to install a gas flow meter from the following article, which details all nuances of installation and connection.

Why you shouldn't try to fix the problem yourself

When ordering a device, companies in most cases carry out installation with a seal. In such a situation, if the device breaks down, it is not recommended to touch it at all, otherwise there may be serious consequences of working with the counter. Experts do not recommend even trying to change the battery yourself if it is sealed.The essence of the seal is that it protects the device from illegal actions of the owner. Violation of its integrity is regarded by the gas company as an attempt to independently stop the installation in order to steal gas. Finally, elementary safety rules cannot be ignored - any unprofessional work near a gas pipe is fraught with an accident.

The counter does not work correctly or is broken?

You can independently check whether the counter really winds a lot.

To make sure that the account device does not deceive you, you need to:

• turn off all gas appliances in the house and check if the meter is winding (if so, then there is a gas leak or your meter was illegally connected);
• run the gas appliance at full power for 15 minutes, and compare the readings obtained with the passport data of the device;
• if the gas meter is equipped with an electronic display, and even when the gas valve is closed, the readings continue to change, then the reason is most likely stray currents.

It is forbidden to perform other manipulations to find the cause.

Most often, stray currents appear due to improper connection of stoves equipped with electric ignition from neighbors. Another reason is the use of special gas outlets.

No matter how carefully the “craftsmen” try to hide the traces of interference in the operation of the accounting device, experts experienced in the field of verification will be able to detect them. If the fact of violation of the body and design of the device is detected, the device will be recognized as faulty, and its owner will receive a considerable fine.

Most often, if it is noticed that the meter readings do not correspond to reality, consumers are in a hurry to give gas metering devices for verification.As a result, most often it turns out that the counters are working.

What to do

To do this, you need to completely de-energize the apartment, take meter readings, then turn on one 100 W lamp, leave it for an hour and take readings again.

If the difference is more than 100 W, the meter is faulty and winds up more electricity. You can also take readings at the same time every evening and monitor changes in the data.If suddenly, instead of the usual 10-15 kW, you “spent” 110 kW, although nothing special happened, you need to fix this and urgently take action.

To find out if someone has connected to your device, you need to completely turn off the power to your home and check if energy is being wasted.

Unfortunately, the counter cannot be reprogrammed, only replaced. This can be done in two ways:

1. Invite an electrician and buy the device yourself. At the same time, it must be remembered that the meter needs to be unsealed and sealed, which must be carried out by a representative of the electricity supplier.
2. Contact the organization responsible for the operation and maintenance of the meter with a request to replace it. Additionally, you can order a full examination of the device and devices connected in the apartment in order to dispel all suspicions.

Please note: to save money, when connecting an electronic device, you can immediately store several tariffs in memory so that the meter changes them and saves.

Watch the video in which the user shows the capabilities of the wattmeter, which allows you to determine why the electricity meter winds a lot:

Basic requirements for devices

All electrical appliances, regardless of where they are installed, are subject to the same requirements:

1. The device must be certified, otherwise it cannot be used.
2. After performing the replacement procedure, the new device is registered. In this case, the owner of the product and a representative of the energy company must be present.
3. You can start using the meter only after it is sealed by a representative of Energosbyt, who issues a written permit for this. At the same time, there should already be one state inspection seal on the seal.
4. The owner is returned one copy of the acceptance certificate indicating the device number. In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is better to immediately check whether the number in the act matches the one on the meter.
5. Regardless of which meter was chosen, its installation is carried out at a height of 1.7 meters in a dry place accessible for maintenance. The device can be hung on the wall or hidden inside an electrical cabinet. It is best if the ambient temperature is not lower than 0 degrees.
6. The meter is connected only with a solid wire, without any connections. In the case when during the replacement it is necessary to move the wire to another place, it is allowed to cut the wires for their extension. Connection sections are connected through the machine. It is closed in the box and also sealed together with the counter.

These are the basic rules that every consumer of electricity must comply with.

In what cases the electricity meter overestimates

Approximate power diagram of various electrical appliances

The main feature of electronic metering devices is their sensitivity. Unlike induction counterparts, they record the operation of all indicators installed in household appliances. Since it is not disconnected from the network, up to 50 kW can run up per month, even if no one lives in the apartment.

Another factor influencing the increase in readings is the parameters of the supplied energy. Calibration of devices is carried out according to the level of electricity, which is indicated in the product passport.

The electric meter winds more when one of the following indicators changes:

1. Voltage. The electrical circuit of the device is designed for 230 V. This is an ideal that is rarely observed. In most cases, the signal varies between 180-210 V.Because of this, active load consumers (elements of boilers and stoves) heat up much worse, it takes more time. The difference in energy expended can be fivefold.
2. Frequency. Everything here is similar to voltage - the higher the frequency, the lower the readings. However, not always - with strong deviations, the software may fail, which leads to errors in the calculations upwards.
3. Power. The apartments use devices that produce reactive power during operation, as a result of which part of the metered electricity flows back into the network.

1 What to do if the gas meter breaks down?

In case of detection of violations in the operation of the meter, you should immediately contact the emergency gas service. Sometimes it happens that the device winds too fast, which can be caused by a breakdown of the device itself or a gust in the line behind it. What to do if the gas meter quickly counts the resources used?

1.1 Algorithm of actions

• First of all, you need to check the system for leaks. If there is no corresponding smell in the room where the meter is installed, you can continue to use it. You do not have the right to take any measures on your own, as they may be dangerous.
• While waiting for the arrival of the master, you should not try to fix the situation yourself. Gas is a combustible and flammable substance, which is why interference in the system by an inhabitant can lead to negative consequences. You can also break the seals, which will cause you to pay fines and send the device for verification.
• When specialists come to you, their actions also need to be kept under constant control. They can accidentally damage the seal, and shift the blame for everything that happened to you.Such situations are quite common. Many users of urban gas communications have repeatedly complained that unscrupulous workers may even demand money for applying a new seal without completing the relevant documents.
• Upon arrival, the safety of the seals must be immediately certified by specialists.

After on-site diagnostics, emergency gas service workers can dismantle the device for examination. In the event of a malfunction, the specialist is obliged to give you a document on the need to replace the meter.

The cost of services for the replacement and repair of meters directly depends on the company that serves you.

You will most likely be charged for the average gas consumption while the appliance is away. More detailed information about this should be provided to you by a specialist.

If you find a leak, immediately turn off the gas at the entrance to the house or apartment. Also, you can not use the stove and other devices of this type, connected after the meter.

What will the master do?

If the gas meter breaks down, the owner should be patient. Since the master can have many applications. And there will be several specialist visits.

At the first visit, he will inspect the device, make sure that all seals are intact and perform diagnostics. If repair is possible on the spot, he will do it. However, this happens very rarely..

The master dismantles the faulty device. If the gas meter is guaranteed, and the service organization was involved in the sale and installation, then the specialist has the right to replace the meter with a new one.

More often, the owner purchases a gas meter on his own in the distribution network.In this case, the Gorgaz specialist dismantles the device and draws up a report on the malfunction of the device.

The owner purchases a new device and makes an application for the installation of a serviceable device. Upon a second visit, the specialist installs a new meter and draws up an act. It is made up of two copies. Simultaneously with the act, a commissioning document is drawn up. In some cases, only the act is enough. But the owner should ask the master about the need to draw up an act of commissioning.

After installing a new meter, the owner contacts the sales organization to seal the meter, and an application is made. Where is the data specified:

• Last name, first name and patronymic of the applicant;
• Serial number and brand of the gas meter;
• Meter readings at the time of installation;
• A photocopy of the factory passport, acts of installation and commissioning of the device.

May be required to indicate the date of the next verification. If the installation of the meter was carried out by employees of another organization, then a copy of the license for the right to carry out activities is attached to the application.

An employee of the subscriber department seals the device and draws up an act. These documents must be kept by the owner along with the passport. They are presented to the inspector at each inspection. Specialists perform such an algorithm of action both in a multi-storey building and in a private cottage.

Equipment with an electronic display (for example, Elster BK-G4 ETe) costs from 30,000 rubles. It is possible to modernize industrial gas meters (not used in private houses and apartments), designed to measure a large amount of fuel, the cost of such equipment reaches 40,000 rubles. and more.
• If the owner wants, for example, to stop the Elster BK-G6T or BK-G6 gas meter using a wireless remote control, then he will need to purchase an upgraded device worth 17,000 rubles. Other models of converted meters cost from 14,000 rubles.
• To deceive Elster BK-G4T and VK-G4 gas meters with a film, you will have to pay from 9,000 rubles. In the same way, without a magnet, you can stop the gas meter NPM-G4 (NPM-G4) manufactured by CJSC Gazdevays.
• Equipment with underestimation will cost the buyer 12,000-15,000 rubles.

Our store presents popular gas meters that are mass-produced. It is also possible to customize the devices to order:

• SGBET G4 electronic type;

• Vector T G6 and many others.

Diagnostics

Units of this type are conditionally divided into two groups: "wet" and "dry". The latter are equipped with a fan, which is noisy even in normal mode, as manufacturers and sellers warn about.If backlash appears during operation, the noise increases. Such a device should be mounted in a separate room with good sound insulation. But sometimes experts install it in the living room or in the kitchen, arguing that it is highly efficient.

If a “wet” unit is noisy, you will need to diagnose the entire heating system. In the course of this work, it may turn out that it is not the water device that is to blame - the creak is heard for another reason. It will need to be removed. If you follow the rules for installing, starting and operating the heating system, there will be fewer problems.

The main reasons that can lead to a malfunction of a standard gas meter

A number of different conditions and circumstances can lead to these reasons. Some of them are well described and known to those skilled in the art. For example, some people often have a gas meter creaking. These problems may occur due to the following:

• if the meter has a scoreboard that is powered by a mechanical drive, then when it is installed in an unheated room and without an inlet filter, it may turn out that when too humid gas is supplied, the mechanism of the device may begin to make creaking sounds;
• sometimes a creak also appears due to the fact that the small plastic wheels that are in the mechanism of the device come out of their working grooves and begin to squeak and rattle;
• if the gas meter is of a new generation and has a digital display, then in this case another reason may occur, namely, oxidation of the wires and loss of reliable contact, which can also lead to extraneous noises and sounds.

Only a qualified specialist can accurately determine why the gas meter is noisy.Trying to do this yourself is not recommended, since the meter has a special seal, which is strictly forbidden to open.
