In Moscow tested more than 1.4 million gas stoves since the beginning of 2026

Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the government of Moscow Petr Biryukov said that since the beginning of 2026, more than 1.4 million gas stoves have been tested in the Russian capital.

“In January-October checked the operability and compliance with safety requirements of more than 1.4 million gas stoves, which are installed in the apartments”, – said the Deputy mayor. He pointed out that the identified minor problems gas workers eliminate on the spot.

According to the deputy mayor of the capital, in case of detection of serious violations, a security threat is first necessarily excluded, and then experts give recommendations for further operation and repair.

As the representatives of the Municipal Economy Complex noted, the issues of gas security in Moscow are under special control. It is noted that scheduled maintenance of the entire gasified housing stock is carried out annually. Responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of gas equipment is assigned to the owner or tenant of the premises.

The City Complex emphasizes that the average service life of a gas stove is from 10 to 12 years, after which the gas cranes wear out, the burner dissectors are deformed, the thermal insulation of the oven is broken. Maintaining the safe operation of such devices is not possible and must be replaced. It is specified that the gas stove must necessarily be equipped with a gas control system that suspends the gas supply if the flame in the burner has gone out.
