Cost-effective
Although initial installation costs may vary, LPG can often be more economical in the long run compared to other heating fuels, especially in regions where LPG prices are competitive.
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas, a by-product from the processing of natural gas liquids and the refining of crude oil. LPG used to be burned off and wasted but is now valued globally as a versatile, clean, low carbon energy source.
LPG starts life as a gas but changes to a liquid when cooled. This property means it can be easily stored in bulk tanks or portable cylinders to provide energy wherever needed. As the cleanest fossil fuel, LPG is a safe, convenient energy source that can be used in over a thousand different ways.
LPG brings the benefits of gas to homes and businesses where mains gas isn’t an option. It’s better for the environment than coal and oil, convenient and cheaper to install than electricity, oil and air source heat pumps.
LPG has the lowest carbon emissions of all fossil fuels with 11.7% less CO2 per kWh than heating oil1. BioLPG – 100% renewable fuel – is even better for the environment, with emissions-savings of up to 38%. LPG emits virtually no soot or particulates that contribute to pollution and global warming.
What is LPG and how is it made?
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a clean-burning fuel created as a by-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Once wasted, it’s now recognised as a low-carbon, versatile energy source used across homes, farms, and businesses.
What is the advantage of switching from oil to LPG for heating and hot water?
Switching from oil to LPG gives you a cleaner, more efficient fuel that produces fewer emissions and less soot, meaning lower environmental impact and reduced maintenance. LPG systems can also save space, run more efficiently, and power other appliances like cookers in addition to heating and hot water.
How does LPG compare to heating oil in terms of performance and cost?
