Natural gas is one of the most profitable energy supplies today, but to be able to enjoy it in homes it is necessary to have the supply installed and to register the gas with the corresponding distributor. Next, we tell you how you can do it so that you have natural gas in your home.
Natural gas discharge
Before launching to register the gas, the user must check that his home or premises has the supply installation.
This is essential, since if the space does not have a natural gas installation, it will be impossible to process a gas registration.
In a home or premises there can be several situations related to the supply of this energy:
New homes that have never had natural gas:
It is common for some new homes to not have a gas installation.
In this case, before registering the gas, the user will have to request the installation of the gas from an authorized installer or speak directly with the distributor in their area.
Although more and more distribution companies are expanding their pipeline networks and bringing natural gas closer to all consumers, for this reason the number of newly occupied homes already have natural gas installations.
In these cases, it is not necessary to carry out the gas connection, but simply by requesting the gas discharge, the user can now enjoy this energy.
New homes had supply unemployment was decommissioned
It is possible that in many cases, the home that the consumer has bought or rented already had a supply previously and is not available at that time because the contract has been canceled.
In this case, as a new owner or tenant of that property, the user may contract the natural gas directly.
In the event that the gas is discharged due to a non-payment in the gas of the previous owner, the procedures to register gas may be spaced in time, so before choosing a home or premises it is advisable to check in what state the supply is found. You can check it on this phone: 910 766 635.
What steps do I have to follow to register natural gas?
Registering gas is a simple procedure, although before starting to register gas, it is advisable to take into account some basic steps to speed up the process so that you can have gas as soon as possible.
Steps to register gas
Check if there is gas installation in the home or premises
Check the state of the supply point
Confirm the Natural Gas distribution company of the Area
Request registration with the distributor or the marketing company of your choice
Verifying the status of the supply consists of consulting with the distributor in the area if there is a problem with the status of the supply such as non-payments by the previous owner.
Possible mistakes in the gas discharge.
A very common mistake among all consumers is to think that when entering a new home you always have to discharge the gas. Many times it is not necessary to discharge electricity or natural gas in the home because there is already a supply.
In this case, you do not have to register, you just have to change the owner of the gas contract in the name of the new tenant.
How much does it cost to register the gas?
Once the customer has identified that they have a gas installation, it is time to register the supply.
Before carrying out this procedure, the user must know that the price of the gas registration is regulated by certain rights:
Registration rights
Connection management rights.
The price of these rights will depend on the gas access toll that each customer has:
Rate 3.1: the most common in homes
Rate 3.2
Rate 3.3
Rate 3.4
Gas access rates regulate the consumption of kW of gas per year. The higher the kW consumption, the higher the access fee.
Gas registration price: registration rights and connection rights
The final price of registering the gas is made up of the connection rights and the registration rights.
The price of these rights is detailed below.
Registration rights
The registration fees will have to be paid whenever a user registers the gas.

Routing rights
Each time the gas is registered, the connection fees must be paid. These are paid for the procedures and operations that the distributor has to carry out when connecting a new supply point. The cost depends on the access rate that the contracted client has and is specified in the following table:
Price of natural gas connection rights
Access fee Gas consumption Connection rights
Access fee 3.1
<5,000 kWh / year of gas € 106.34
Access fee 3.2
5,000 - 15,000 kWh / year of gas € 106.34
15,000 - 50.00 kWh / year of gas € 244.40
Access fee 3.3 - 3.4 - 3.5
> 50,000 kWh / year of gas € 488.83
If it is a question of reactivating the natural gas supply and it has been less than 5 years since the supply was cut off, it will not be necessary to pay the gas connection fees.
How long does it take to register the gas?
The first question any consumer asks is how long it will take to get their gas supply up. The term to have gas supply consists of 5 to 7 business days from when the distributor accepts the registration.
Before the company accepts the gas discharge, another series of days (2 - 3) may pass that will depend on the speed of the marketer and distributor to carry out the procedure.
In the event of a non-payment associated with the supply point, the distributor may reject the registration, which will entail extra time for activation.
In these cases, the distributor will ask the user for extra documentation to confirm that the new registration does not correspond to the same owner who defaulted.
Before choosing a home or premises, the user should contact the distributor and find out if the supply point has any debt.
This way you will avoid surprises in the future.
Once the distributor accepts the gas registration, it will send the technician to the home to install the meter.
