Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?

Try extra fuels they seem ok.

I've been ripped off for years. Burn 8000+ a year so it hurts. But push hard and they do move. 33ppl 13ppd Tank In Bucks Flogas. Did have me at 53 ppl. Jeez!

Good question LPG-Info
whats the answer, were user too and sick of the price Increase.

I've been following this thread since February when I moved into a small new-build g/f apartment. It's a 1 bedroom retirement box, with 'low outgoings'. The development is serviced by Calor with a very large shared LPG tank.

When I moved in the service was already connected, but calls to Calor about prices got me nowhere, I was told to talk to my 'rep'. What rep? After five months of getting nowhere Calor wrote to me offering me LPG at 38.5p a litre, plus 5% vat, and a daily charge of 16.5p, plus vat.

I phoned around other suppliers and got the price down to 33p a litre ( Hampshire) but Calor wouldn't budge, after all - there are 25 other houses on the development sharing the same tank - I'd never get an agreement to switch from most of them.

I phoned Calor and told them I'd be happy to pay the going rate of 33p. They said they'd look into it and let me know.

A week later I had a letter saying that their previous offer of LPG at 38.5p 'was a mistake' and the price was now 44.5p + vat = 47p a litre. The daily standing charge was correct. They also said they wanted £90.00 a month direct debit to pay for the gas. It's a 1 bedroom 48 sq metre new build apartment. Calor's response feels like punitive extortion for daring to challenge their pricing

I've told Calor to disconnect their meter. Fortunately I didn't sign a contract with them when I moved in. I've had a wet electric boiler installed for £400, and put the flat on Economy Ten.

Not having the Calor standing charge will itself save £68 per year, I calculated the heating losses for the flat, and figured at 0C I'll need about 2.8 Kw for each room in winter - if I heat every room. But I live in Hampshire - where it's rarely that cold for long and the flat is very well insulated.

I'll also save on the annual service and inspection charge for the gas boiler of £160.00, plus the eventual replacement of it in 10 years. (£1000-£1500 = about £100 per year) The electric boiler or pump could go wrong, though.

Dealing with Calor is awful. Their customer service number was answered twice, by the rudest person I've spoken to in a long time. I've decided I can get by without them even if, with Economy 10, my bills are a little higher.

I don't think they will be. I have an Owl energy monitor and for the last two months I've used £35.00 worth of juice a month, a little over a pound per day. I'm not abstemious; I use a dishwasher daily, and the washing machine twice a week. I shower or bathe every day. I have put timers on everything to use cheap-rate juice.

The electric bill may double in winter, but we'll see. It won't be the £90.00 a month that Calor wanted, in addition to my electricity and water bills.:p

absolute rip off sheisters, get rid of LPG and replace with an Air Source Heat Pump boiler......
