    With such a question you should go to the gasworks.

    Do you use a lot of this gas a year (in m3)?

    In accordance with applicable law, any change to the gas installation requires a project, building permit and site manager :)
    The building manager's consent (community, cooperative etc.) should also be obtained and the location of the gas meter should be agreed with the gas plant. All in all, as Wnoto suggests, not worth the skin ...
    With low consumption and high fixed charges, electricity can be cheaper. Charges for increasing power also fell. It's just that the installation may not withstand :)

    For example, for me, the increase in power is about PLN 70 for each additional kW of power by cable (house). I don't know how it is in the apartments.

    It probably doesn't matter if it's a house or a flat, but the price list of the Power Plant serving the given region. For me, if I associate it correctly, it is approx. PLN 80 gross for each additional 1kW contracted capacity.

    Zakład Energetyczny will give you as much power as their local forward line and your cable supplying electricity to your apartment allows. Then the installation in the apartment must be adapted to the appropriate demand, which usually involves renovation.
