How much does it cost to install electricity in a private home?

Obtaining technical conditions for connecting electricity from 15 kW is real!

Having purchased a plot of land in the Tver region for development, you are faced with a problem - lack of electricity. Yes, earlier, when you were bargaining with its previous owner, the presence of light was unimportant, since the price suited you quite well, however, time sets priorities in its own way. Construction without electricity is difficult.

In which direction to move and where to start, read on.

Electricity registration

Connecting electricity to a private home begins first of all with drawing up the appropriate technical conditions. This documentation is managed by the local power grid organization, and in particular by its department such as the CSC (public service center).

Documents required to obtain technical documentation for a land plot in the Tver region as a whole:

  1. — passport and its copy with the registration page;
  2. - certificate of land;
  3. - certificate for the house or a copy thereof;
  4. — site plan (or a copy thereof);
  5. — an application to the CSC for connecting electricity to a country house (in two copies - for yourself and for the organization).

Electricity networks do not have the right to refuse to complete the relevant documentation. By law, the electric network must consider your application for no more than 30 days; after this period, an agreement must already be concluded between you and this organization with the issuance of technical specifications.

Among these documents there is a document confirming that the individual’s house is already connected to the electrical network within the CIS and that the electrical network and the electricity meter are in working order.

Owned plot. I want to connect electricity. SNT refuses to connect.

I bought a plot of land in SNT, I want to install electricity to the plot, the chairman says,

I purchased a plot of land in SNT. No buildings. The question arose about connecting to electricity.

I am a member of SNT, the house on the site is designed as residential and is intended for year-round use.

We bought a plot in St. Electricity is not supplied to the site, although there is electricity in the building and the pole is located directly opposite the site.

We submitted an application for connection to the land plot on which the house is being built.

Our SNT has dacha electricity, but it is turned off in the winter. In 2020

I am a member of SNT. I use electricity from a substation that is on the balance sheet of SNT.

A private house. There are 2 electricity inputs, 2 personal accounts. When connecting to a 3-phase network, when checking the seals on old metering devices, a broken seal was discovered.

The situation is this: our mother has a plot of land with a house and she paid the chairman of the SNT for its connection to electricity and for the pole,

Energosbyt rejects the application to conclude an electricity contract for a site in SNT.

Direct connection to electrical networks

When you receive the documentation, please read it carefully. The power grid organization may include so-called excess requirements in the contract.

The most common violations of the rights of individuals occur on such items as connecting electricity up to 15 kW to the house. Individuals are required to complete a power supply project. This is an excessive requirement, according to the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation (clause 3 of Article 48).

After signing the contract, you should begin to fulfill the technical conditions specified in the documentation.

As a rule, this is the following set of standard actions:

  1. — installation of a metering unit (outer wall of the house/ overhead line support);
  2. — installation of wires from the metering station to the border of the land plot;
  3. — installation of networks inside the house (if it is fully built).

Work plan

The approximate sequence of stages of electrical installation work in a private house will be as follows:

  1. The type of input is determined (330 V - three-phase or 220 V single-phase).
  2. A plan is drawn up: it is necessary to collect documents and draw up a project.
  3. Materials are being purchased.
  4. The input is carried out (it can be done either underground or by air), the meter and machine are installed in the place specified in the project.
  5. The shield is installed.
  6. The cable is laid, sockets and switches are installed, then they are connected.
  7. Grounding is created.
  8. Testing is carried out and preparation for operation of the system is completed.

In each specific case, the work plan will have its own characteristics. They start by obtaining technical specifications and drawing up a project. Be sure to set the power and input type. Preparing documentation will take a lot of time, so it is recommended to start doing it along with the start of construction.

Three-phase input will be necessary if powerful equipment is used in the house: electric stoves, oven, boiler. In terms of complexity, three-phase input is superior to single-phase, which means that if there is no need, it is better to give preference to the second.

The electrification plan shows where the equipment will be located, and where the sockets will need to be installed. The location of the switches is also marked on it.
