    ........ I am in a remote part of West Cumbria so its likely that the suppliers will be more limited. ........................
    Welcome Carole!

    If you put your postcode in the box called "LPG Supplier Search" on the LPG trade website here most of your possible suppliers will come up - with links and contact details. You can also add Woldlink and any other local farmers' co-ops (you often don't need to be a farmer, and some you can join for free). Then I'd follow Adrian's suggestions about making a spreadsheet ...and then haggle! Also put some of the suppliers you are tempted by into the 'search this thread' box above this post ...and decide if you want to give them your business.

    Possible suppliers in your area could be LPG Homeheat, Avantigas, Flogas, Premier, Extra Fuel, Calor, BDS, J Gas..

    Please post the offers you get - just like Adrian did - to help others.

    Good luck!

  • I received a letter from Calor gas today basically trying to tempt me back by offering me a two year fixed rate at 28ppl and also £250 worth of credit for LPG. I'm currently with Cardiff Gas who have been a pleasure to deal with however thier rate is at 35 ppl so I dont know if I can refuse the offer from Calor !!
  • I've today reveived a letter from Calor saying that they are putting their bulk price up to 52p per litre. It's currently 49p per litre.

    Are you in contract with them and if you are, when did you sign it.

    I've also got a letter from Calor today saying they are changing it from 33ppl to 40ppl from the 23rd Nov. They only changed it from 30ppl to 33ppl in Sept. Dollar exchange being blamed. Signed up to a new contract in April which had a 3.5ppl cap in the first year. Looks like I'll be terminating and finding a deal with someone else.

    Not so much a pricing structure but more like what they can get away with it would appear.
  • No, not on contract.
  • that's what I was thinking

    TBH, you're fair game for their shotgun pricing, then.

    Shop around, and fast. Sign up with somebody else, almost anybody else. Get yourself shifted!

    Latest prices, for November 2016.

    OMG! I'm afraid life has got a bit complicated, but is it REALLY March since I updated these figures? Very remiss of me, especially given all the current uncertainties.

    Well, here they are, in all their glory :-)
