Autonomous heating of an apartment is easy! Features of disconnection from central heating in an apartment building
More and more often, residents of multi-storey buildings want to disconnect from central heating in favor of autonomous heating of the apartment.
The reason for this is excessive cost of utilities, although the quality does not correspond to this. For this reason, it is important to consider legal methods for switching to autonomous heating for residents of apartment buildings.

Disconnection from central heating in an apartment building: how to refuse?
The current legislative framework does not impose any prohibition on the transition of residents of multi-storey buildings to individual heating.
Before disconnecting the apartment from central heating The owner of the apartment goes through a number of legal hurdles.
Installation of autonomous heating cannot do without taking into account the peculiarities of improvement And residential building communication systems. The heating of a house is a single whole, where all components are important. When one apartment is disconnected from the network, the operation of the technical complex is disrupted, which leads to the disconnection of heating in the house. Therefore, to disconnect an apartment, the heating network of the building is redesigned.
The heating network of multi-storey buildings is the common property of the residents of the building. Before installing autonomous heating The issue of redesigning the building's heating network is being resolved. For this purpose, a meeting of all residents is convened. This condition is expressly stated in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.
According to Article 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, by disconnecting one room of the house from the common heating network, the volume of joint house property will decrease. Here, you can't do without voting with the residents.
The law prohibits independent disconnection from heating systems. The process of dismantling and subsequent installation of heating is carried out by professionals based on the general decision of the residents of the house.
When is permission from residents to refuse central heating not required?
If parts of the common house heating system have not been defined as the common property of the residents of the building, obtaining permission from the residents to disconnect the apartment from the heating network is not required.
But even in such a situation the law prohibits unauthorized installation of autonomous heating, for this it is necessary to obtain permission from state regulatory authorities.
Any intervention in such a complex engineering network are produced strictly according to the design. The third section of the technical passport of an apartment building contains data on the heating network. Changes affecting these communications are entered into the technical passport, since, from the point of view of current legislation, this will be considered a re-equipment.
It is easier to disconnect from central communications if all residents are ready to take this step. In this case General work is being carried out to reconstruct the heating circuit. To perform these works, design and technical documentation is prepared that meets the requirements of the law. In addition, one should not forget about obtaining permission from the residents of the house.
Required documents
Article 26 of the RF Housing Code states, that every owner of an apartment in an apartment complex has the right to disconnect from central communications. For this purpose, the regulatory authorities The following list of documents is submitted:
- a free-form statement;
- registration certificate for the apartment;
Photo 1. Sample technical passport for an apartment. The layout of the premises and its characteristics are indicated.
- documents confirming ownership of real estate;
- written consent of all people living in the apartment;
- expert opinion on the technical feasibility of re-equipment.
Attached to this list of papers is also design documentation for reconstruction. The project is developed by experts and agreed upon with regulatory authorities.
Project for reorganization of heating system in apartment
Design documentation for the reconstruction - These are technical documents that you cannot create on your own. You can't do without the help of specialists here. The technical project is based on calculations demonstrating the influence of the components of the heating system located inside the detachable living space on the overall operation of the entire heating structure.
The following are also performed:
- calculations on thermal hydraulics;
- calculations of residual heating from the riser and sunbeds.
If the calculation results indicate that it is possible to disconnect, The finished project is sent to government agencies for approval.
Reference. If changes in communications will negatively affect the quality of heating in other apartments, then the project will not pass the approval procedure.
Possible complications
The legal procedure for disconnecting a residential building from the central heating system is a simple process, which cannot be said about disconnecting an individual apartment. People face a number of problems.
Such difficulties are directly related to Federal Law 190., regulating the heat supply of residential buildings.
The law prohibits the transition to an individual heating system for an apartment. This is the main reason for the refusal to citizens.
It is still possible to obtain permission, since this The legal provision does not prohibit the installation of an individual boiler for heating. The document authorizing the conversion of an apartment includes information about the type and model of the boiler.
Regulatory authorities will not interfere with the installation of the boiler, if it fully complies with the requirements of the law.
Attention! There is no point in counting on the documents being processed quickly; the process may take a long time. for many months. This is due to existing technical and legislative barriers. Starting since 2011 It has become difficult to legally disconnect an apartment from heating utilities.
How to cut yourself off from the system: technical aspects. Is it possible to turn everything off yourself
After all the permitting documentation has been received, the transition to the implementation of the plan takes place. Dismantling of elements of the general heating system in the apartment produced by experienced craftsmen. In this case, it is better not to save money, which will help to minimize various risks. As soon as the old system is removed, the installation of autonomous heating begins.
This technical task does not cause any problems, but at the same time Remember some of the features associated with installing a boiler and radiators in apartments:
- In apartments of multi-apartment residential complexes, the heating system is based on wall-mounted gas boiler. The boiler is placed above the heating radiators.

- Water circulation in the system is provided by a pump, which is already installed in the boiler.
- A boiler that complies with legal requirements is equipped with a separate combustion chamber and safety systems. The pressure in such a system does not exceed 1 MPa, and the water temperature does not exceed the limit 95 °C.
- Recommended to use heating radiators made of aluminum. Such batteries are characterized by high reliability, as well as heat output. The entire pipeline system is made of plastic, which guarantees high reliability and durability of the entire network.
- The piping is being done based on the characteristics of a particular apartment. A rational technical solution is a single-pipe layout with parallel-connected heating radiators. Although the radial layout method is optimal from an operational point of view, its implementation is limited by the height of the ceilings in apartments, since the implementation of this method will require raising the floor level.
Important! Appeal to experienced craftsmen will eliminate the occurrence of technical problems.

Results
Despite the technical and legal difficulties, connecting an autonomous heating system to an apartment is a feasible task. Remember that this will require effort and money.
In addition, do not forget that unauthorized disconnection from the general building heating system will result in legal liability and fines.
As soon as the regulatory authorities discover that the apartment has been disconnected from the general utilities, the property owner will be forced to return everything.
Of course, technical implementation and obtaining permits will take time and money, but This will pay for itself in just two or three heating seasons.
