LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is the closest alternative to mains gas for homes off the mains gas network. It offers warm, efficient central heating and can also be used for highly controllable cooking, hot water and living flame fires.
Benefits
- On an environmental note, LPG is a cleaner burning fuel, producing fewer carbon emissions than other fossil fuels available in non mains gas areas. It emits 11.7% less CO2 per kWh than heating oil.
- LPG is cheaper to install than heating oil too. On average, LPG installations are £2,500 cheaper (based on a 3 bedroom house).
- LPG can also be used in conjunction with renewable products, such as Potterton Solar, and has become a popular choice among rural homeowners.
- Leading UK supplier, Calor, offers automatic fuel top-ups - so you don't ever need to worry about re-ordering your LPG.
- There are a large number of LPG qualified installers across the country and Calor also have their own dedicated workforce of LPG installers, CalorForce.
- Flexible storage options designed to suit you and your property. View our information on LPG supply to find out about bulk and cylinder supply.
