Single person, 2 bed bungalow - size of LPG tank? 11 February 2021 at 1:45PM in LPG, heating oil, solid & other fuels 5 replies 63 views

Hello,
Is there anyone out there who could give me an idea as to what LPG tank capacity would be recommended for a person living alone in an off-grid 2 bed bungalow? Or could point me in the direction of relevant websites?

I'm used to mains gas so this is all new to me. According to my last dual fuel statement, I used 7,260 kWh of gas and 722 kWh of electricity over the year.

Thank you for any advice/help.

You will find that most suppliers will install a standard 1200 litre tank.  This will mean that that they can do a 1000 litre fill.

Thank you very much for your help.

Just a comment.  Given that you're asking about the installation of an LPG tank, does that imply there's no heating system in place at the moment?  If that's the case, I'd recommend going for oil in preference to LPG - much more flexible in terms of suppliers, and usually cheaper.  Of course, if you've already got an LPG boiler and are just replacing the tank, then it's a moot point.

Thanks, JB, that's so useful
