  • Running costs are higher than mains gas so it's more important to get an efficient boiler and good insulation.

    In most cases you can change supplier without disruption as the new supplier will buy your bulk tank from the old supplier. Most suppliers now use telemetry readings so they keep your tank topped up automatically.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    LPG is really no different to mains gas in the way it operates, boilers are identical (the only differences are the set up internally), so they are as controllable as mains gas.

    As mentioned, the cost of LPG is higher than mains gas, there is a full comparison on the Nottingham Energy Partnership website http://www.nottenergy.com/energy_cost_comparison/
    It is worth reading the Bulk LPG thread at the top of this forum to get a feel for how changing suppliers works.

    If you do not have the choice of mains gas, then LPG is one of the limited number of choices for heating.
