Natural Gas Application

Heating is an important consideration for anyone moving to Turkey, especially during the colder months. Most homes in Turkey use central heating systems, which can be either natural gas or fuel oil-based. Natural gas is the more popular option, as it is more efficient and less expensive than fuel oil.

To connect your home to the central heating system, you will need to apply to the natural gas company in your area. The application process is similar to that of applying for electricity or water, and will require providing the necessary documentation and paying the connection fee.

Once your home is connected to the central heating system, you will need to pay regular bills for the gas consumption. These bills can be paid online or at the local office of the natural gas company.

It’s important to note that in some areas, particularly in rural areas or small towns, central heating may not be available. In these cases, homeowners will need to rely on alternative heating methods, such as electric or wood-burning heaters.

When purchasing a property in Turkey, it’s important to consider the heating options available in the area and the associated costs. A reputable real estate agent like Estates Istanbul can provide guidance and advice on heating options and associated costs to help you make an informed decision.

Sure, here are the steps for obtaining heating in Turkey:

• Determine which type of heating system is appropriate for your property (central heating, natural gas, electric heating, etc.)
• Contact the relevant provider for the chosen heating system (such as the natural gas provider or electricity company).
• Provide the necessary documentation, which may include your Tapu (title deed), passport or ID card, and residence permit.
• Pay any required fees or deposits.

• Prepare your property for installation by ensuring that the necessary infrastructure (such as pipes or wiring) is in place.
