Hiya.
I recently moved into an old cottage that runs a solid wood burner attached to a back boiler which heats my radiators and water.
I rent this property. The landlord wants to put in 4 x 47kg LPG gas cylinders but I am worried that it is going to cost me more than buying wood. A load of wood lasts me 3 weeks and costs me £50. I have heard that an LPG cylinder can last between a few days and a couple of months, at £45 a throw. If it's months, that's fine, but if it's days, then I'm stuffed as I cannot afford that. My house is a large three bedroom middle terrace, with single glazed windows and no loft insulation. My landlord will not put in oil, and I have asked him if they would consider replacing my log burner as it's outdated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I seem to be going around in circles.
Thanks. Soapy

If your LL has offered LPG cylinders, has he offered to fit a LPG boiler?0
