I thought that the finale of Chongqing's gas problem was coming? Unexpectedly, more regions said that gas bills had risen significantly.
Now residents in many areas are saying that why has the cost of natural gas suddenly risen so much?
The gas company has always said that the gas meter is no problem and is qualified and shipped out. But everyone felt that something was wrong, and after replacing the new gas meter, even if there was no major change in usage habits, the cost increased significantly.
Now that the share price of Chongqing Gas has plummeted, the municipal government has to come forward, saying that there is indeed a problem with the charge and that the money can be refunded. Does this mean that there is really a problem with the gas? The gas company was so sure before, but now the official is so quick to slap the face. Is there a secret in that?
Starting from February 2024, some citizens continue to report on the Internet that after changing the smart gas meter, even if the usage is the same as before, the gas bill has increased a lot. The most reflected is that the new gas meter is "running fast". Most of those changes were made between the end of last year and around February this year.
Chongqing Gas Group also responded that there may be several reasons, such as the inaccuracy of the old meter after a long time, the misunderstanding caused by the slow transmission of data from the old meter, and the rise in gas prices. There may be a bit of air leakage in the air connection at home. Does this explanation also work?
An investigation team has been set up to investigate the matter.
The gas company has been saying that their meters are fine, but the citizens still feel that the problem is still not solved. Although some money was refunded this time, it seemed that the turmoil had calmed down, but who knows when something went wrong? Everyone is usually so busy, how can they have time to stare at the gas meter every day?
This matter is really getting bigger and bigger! Even those residents who have not yet changed their meters can't help but stand up and speak. Why is the cost of natural gas so much higher than before? So what's the problem?
People think that there is a problem with the gas itself!
Attentive netizens discovered that the flames used to burn natural gas, and the flames were blue and blue, but now the flames have turned yellow. Some people speculate that it may be adulterated with impurities. If the gas is mixed with air purity, the combustion efficiency is low, the cooking time becomes longer, and the gas consumption will naturally go up.
Chongqing Gas's financial data showed that its net profit soared in the fourth quarter of last year, but the increase in gas sales was negligible. The gas company did not refute the data. Although the money can be refunded now, everyone is more concerned about how to collect the fees in the future?
There are also gas masters who think that the problem may be in a newly added device. This device narrows the pipe of the gas port, and the gauge goes faster when the air pressure rises.
The main concern of the citizens now is to find out the problems behind the scenes and bring them to justice.
