Holiday home- cut main gas and run off bottle?

justintime999

Hi

I have a holiday home and I am thinking of cutting the mains gas and using a gas bottle. We rarely use the heating. We only use the hot water.

Is it better to leave on the mains or switch to gas bottle?

Thanks

you can't just swop gas appliances from NG to LPG

You need a registered gas engineer to convert your appliances to lpg. The injectors will require changing, pressures will need to be reset and combustion tests completed . You cannot do this yourself.

Running bottles will cost a fortune (when in use) just leave it alone.

Might work out better to switch to supplier with a lower standing charge but higher gas fees. Bottled gas is more expensive than mains.

Other wise as above say you need a proper gas engineer in.

A switch to Ebico is the obvious move here. Otherwise to avoid SC's you will need to pay for capping and meter removal. It sounds like most of your bill is the SC's?

Not only that if you ever come to sell it not having mains gas might really work against you
