Converting LPG to Natural Gas
Changing from LPG Bottles to Natural Gas can also be a saving if you use a lot of gas e.g. for cooking, hot water and heating and have 2+ residents in the property. This is cheaper as LPG generally costs more than Natural Gas supply and these savings outweigh the difference between the daily fixed charge (natural) and LPG Bottle hire. See more comparisons below.
Whats Involved in Converting from LPG to Natural Gas?
When you convert from LPG to Natural Gas it is best to do this before you purchase any appliances as it is an extra cost to convert each appliance from Natural to LPG Gas.
If you already have appliances in place, bear in mind that every appliance will need a gas conversion kit. This can be quite a costly process but the savings from the change can be worth it.
Converting Natural Gas to LPG Bottles
Changing from a Natural Gas Supply to LPG bottles can be a wise move. If you don't use a lot of gas e.g. you have 1-2 residents and only hot water, or just your cooking on gas supply, changing to LPG bottles can save you money as the daily fixed charge (Natural) is usually than the LPG bottles hire charge. See more comparisons below.
Whats Involved in Converting from Natural to LPG Bottles?
When changing from LPG to Natural Gas, it is much the same as the other way around, except the conversion kit is for Natural. For a Natural Gas Supply, a gas meter may need to be installed. This can be arranged with a Gas Supplier. If you have any difficult questions, give us a call or email.
