Do apartments in Batumi have gas supply, and does it matter when renting?

Not every building in Batumi has gas: in summer 2026 residents described one housing complex with two buildings, one with gas and one without. Residents disagree on which is more reliable: during a power cut gas still lets you cook and have hot water, but it adds another thing that can break and sometimes requires a gas technician. According to participants, gas heating costs roughly 100–200 GEL a month versus 200 GEL and up for electric heating, and a promise that gas is about to be connected almost always means it will not be.
