LPG Boilers - Flexible and Cost Efficient
Did you know that the cost of providing heating and hot water accounts for around 60% of your annual energy bills?
On average LPG boilers are, on average, £900 cheaper than buying a new or replacement oil boiler. They're smaller in size in comparison to oil boilers, giving you more flexibility on where the LPG boiler can be installed. Modern LPG boilers are highly efficient, using condensing models significant fuel efficiencies.
LPG boilers enable you to control your heating with just the press of a button and are compatible with many thermostatic controls, helping you save money.
The Main Benefits Of LPG Boilers Are:
More and more people are adapting their traditional boilers to become LPG systems, also useful for the increasing number of households who install renewable energy sources such as solar panels or solar thermal. Additionally,
storage tanks are much smaller and fuel efficient than other heating systems and can be placed in different areas of the home
LPG boilers operate very quietly with compatible heating controls
choosing to switch from oil to an LPG boiler can reduce your CO2 emissions by up to 20%
there are less risks involved as LPG is non-toxic, and has mess odour than oil - meaning it’s much better for the environment
LPG Servicing, Maintenance and Repairs
You should get your LPG boiler and other gas appliances serviced regularly to make sure they’re working properly. Our servicing costs start from as little as £55.
A faulty LPG boiler wastes money on energy and could start leaking poisonous carbon monoxide. Because it’s colourless and scentless, it’s hard to tell if one of your appliances starts leaking carbon monoxide – so you should get them serviced by one of our fully qualified Gas Safe Registered engineers, once a year.
Annual LPG Boiler Service
Your annual LPG boiler service also preserves any manufacturer’s warranty that comes with your newly installed or existing boiler. Your warranty will be invalidated without it, leading to costly and unnecessary repair bills during your warranty period.
LPG Cylinders for Commercial Premises And Caravans
LPG cylinders are suitable for use in many commercial premises, including restaurants, hotels, cafe’s and mobile catering units. They’re also popular as gas canister applications for vans, static caravans, motorhomes and mobile catering units.
It’s important that all LPG appliances are checked at least once a year. It’s the responsibility of the owner to obtain a Gas Safety Certificate (GSC) and for it to be renewed annually.

What is LPG Gas?
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been used as an alternative to mains gas for well over 60 years. It’s popular in hundreds of thousands of UK homes, due to its convenience, safety, flexibility and the fact that it’s environmentally friendly.
Designed as a safe and more cost effective alternative to regular gas central heating or oil-burning boilers, LPG is safely delivered through pipes, straight into your home’s heating systems. LPG traditionally works under a ‘wet’ heating system, meaning your LPG boiler heats water then transfers the heat to your central heating and taps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of installing an LPG Boiler?
Aside from reducing your home’s emissions and carbon footprint, installing an LPG boiler can also slash the cost of your energy bills over time. Most contemporary LPG boilers are also compatible with widely-used thermostatic controls, so you can manage precisely how much heat is used in each individual room.
Who can install an LPG Boiler?
Whilst all heating engineers and boiler installers must be Gas Safe-registered, this basic accreditation alone doesn’t qualify them to deal with LPG units. You’ll need to identify an engineer whose Gas Safe-registration has been extended to cover LPG work, whilst ideally they’ll have completed a number of installations within this field.
How does an LPG boiler work?
An LPG boiler works in a very similar way to both natural gas and oil boilers i.e. the boiler burns the fuel to produce the energy needed to heat water from the mains supply. This hot water can then be used to heat your radiators and supply your taps. To introduce an LPG heating system into your home you’ll need a boiler a storage tank and a supplier.
How do I know when my boiler needs replaced?
One of the most obvious signs is frequent breakdowns meaning that you’re constantly having the boiler repaired. Other common indicators include you’re finding it difficult to keep your house warm or your water is not hot enough.
How often should I get my boiler replaced?
Having an annual service should help you avoid unforeseen problems with your boiler, and keep it running efficiently.
