Your Bulk LPG Propane Gas Switch Questions Answered
Oil to LPG (LP Gas)
Whilst the range of heating alternatives has grown in recent years for many ‘off-grid’ energy consumers Oil and LPG are still the preferred energy choice, both being delivered by road tanker and stored in tanks normally to be consumed for heating and hot water.
LPG (LP Gas) v’s Oil
Price and versatility
In recent times LPG has remained cheaper per litre than Oil. Whilst prices do fluctuate based upon local and global demand for energy, LPG continues to be a highly attractive ‘off-grid’ energy option for both home and business
- LPG is a highly versatile fuel for instant heat, hot water and cooking
- LPG has lower CO2 emissions (LPG emits 11.7% less CO2 per kWh than heating oil)
- LPG produces significantly fewer NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) and sulphur particulates than heating oil so virtually no soot is formed.
- LPG boilers are quieter than heating oil boilers & odour free.
Strict Environmental regulations are in place for the storage of oil and failure to comply is a criminal offence with a fine of up to £5,000. These regulations do not apply to LPG storage.
LPG can’t be stolen in the same was as Oil (thieves can drill into plastic/steel Oil tanks). In recent times thefts have been on the increase with many thousands of reported thefts each year.
24/7 Technical & Emergency Support
LPG suppliers will provide you with 24/7 Technical and Emergency Support.
With Oil you are responsible for the maintenance & upkeep of your own storage tank.
Cheaper Setup Costs & Total Peace of Mind
The set up costs for a new install with LPG are generally less than Oil (cost of an Oil boiler plus having to buy your own storage vessels).
With LPG there is no storage tank purchase cost, the tank install for a domestic above ground LPG tank normally being carried out ‘free of charge’. A 2000 litre Oil tank will cost approx £1,000
Also, LPG boilers generally have a longer life and require less maintenance.
LPG ‘Telemetry’ and ‘Top-Up’
Your LPG provider will normally take control of your LPG deliveries, ensuring that readings are either sent via a smart metering unit (often referred to as Telemetry) or your LPG usage will be predicted based upon your historical consumption, outside temperature and long range weather forecasting.

Really helpful agents in getting a great price of my LPG contract renewal. I’ll be back to then come next renewal.

I have been renewing my gas contracts through lpg-save for 6 years now, and I am absolutely delighted with their service. If you telephone, it's answered at once by an actual person who knows what they're talking about, with no endless waits, labyrinthine options, or messages telling you how much your custom is valued. If you email, you receive a very swift reply. Either way, I have always unfailingly had professional, knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant and efficient service. Best of all of course is that I have saved considerable amounts of money, without the headache of bargaining endlessly with assorted gas companies. Definitely and unhesitatingly recommend this company.

Excellent service! Rapid and clear and were able to get me ten pence off(almost 20%!) per litre of lpg fixed for two years versus my existing provider’s initial year offer for a two year contract with the second year floating! Later turned out to be the same provideri have re contracted with so happy days and two fingers up to those robbers!

This is the second time I have used LPG save and as I always review the market I am comfortable at having got a good deal. It’s certainly a strange business whereby new customers win out over customer loyalty and often forces a change of supplier every 2 years. Makes no sense to me but thanks to LPG save for sorting me a deal with Flogas again.

Absolutely seamless process. They even coped when the process was slightly interrupted by me braking my ankle:) Price was better than I could have found as an individual, staff, especially a shout out to Robert, were polite, courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend them if you decide to switch suppliers.
