What troubles threatens to transfer heating to the balcony

Turning a loggia or a glazed balcony into an extra room is a great idea. To do this, you just need to organize heating there. And one of the simplest, it would seem, ways to do this is to hold a heating battery on the balcony. It is much more convenient and easier than installing a warm floor and installing electric heaters. There is only one problem - categorically forbidden to do this without permission. And this is the main trouble that threatens when moving the battery to the balcony.

To transfer heating to the balcony, you must obtain a permit from the housing inspection. In fact, such manipulations make the balcony officially an additional living room. If before that you had a one-room apartment, it will turn into a two-room apartment, a two-room apartment - into a three-room apartment and so on. The fact that the new room is very small. He does not play roles.

You can try to move the heating bypassing the rules. Many supporters of this method suggest that no one will ever know about the presence of a battery on the loggia or balcony, so it makes no sense to spend time and effort on getting some kind of permission. In fact, of course, it exists and lies in the fact that the fitter is unlikely to agree to carry out the battery transfer without the presence of permits.

To lengthen the pipe and put the central heating battery in a new place, you will need to drain the water from the system, so calling a private master will hardly help you. And the locksmith, who can be called to conduct work in the management company, will most likely not do such work.

If you still manage to carry out the transfer without proper approval, you will face an administrative penalty, namely a fine. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the owner of the house where the heating was illegally taken out onto the balcony must pay a fine in the amount of two to two and a half thousand rubles. At the same time, it will not work out with one fine payment - in addition to this, you will be obliged to transfer the battery to the place where it should be located, or simply remove it. In case of refusal to pay a fine or even in case of payment - refusal to remove the battery from the balcony, the sanctions are repeated.

If you are firmly convinced that you need heating on the balcony, it is better to spend time and collect all the necessary paper. This will save you a lot of time and effort in the future.
