We have just taken over a tank, it has calor written on it and the contract is with calor. Do we have to stay with calor? or can anyone help a newbie with a tank please

Welcome to the wacky world of lpg!
- you don't have to stay with Calor (and probably shouldn't)
- sit down and read the last dozen or so pages of this topic thread. There is a lot of good advice in there
- tell us whereabouts you live, someone nearby might have a recommendation
- there will be a metal plate somewhere on your tank, photograph it and find out the size and age of the tank. Also check the tank contents, 25% or less means you need to take action. 50% or more needed ideally, to go through the ordering and supply period without time pressure
- read your contract carefully before you sign it to make sure it is what you agreed to. and above all:
- don't trust any lpg salesperson. The industry is full of sharks

Good luck, and tell us how you get on!

Use the UKLPG website to find your local suppliers:

https://www.uklpg.org/advice/supplier-search

and don’t use Flogas - see previous posts about their practices.

Also try Woldlink -

Good luck!

The previous owner might have had a contract with Calor - but you don't. You can get quotes from everybody that supplies your area, and can sign up with whoever you please.

Thanks all, the paperwork here is contracted with calor till 31st March think it is, we are in Northants.
We have used bottles previously so this is a cheaper way than them!

I've been very happy with Calor, tbh - just entering the second year of my second contract with 'em, with two years of ExtraFuel in the middle.
