Set up gas and heating in Pozuelo de Alarcón (natural gas, butane, safety inspections)
Homes in Pozuelo de Alarcón may use piped natural gas (supply contracted with a retailer, network run by a regulated distributor), bottled butane at a regulated maximum price, or electric heating; piped gas installations need a periodic safety inspection every five years.
- Why it matters
- Hot water, cooking and heating in many Spanish flats depend on gas, and the supply contract, the periodic inspection and the leak procedure work differently from electricity. Knowing who does what avoids safety problems and cut-offs.
- When
- You move into a home with a gas boiler, hob or radiator system, or you are told your flat uses butane bottles.
