While the majority of UK properties are connected to mains gas, there are approximately four million homes that remain unconnected to the network. If you live in one of these properties, running your boiler on LPG gas could be the ideal central heating solution.
An LPG boiler runs on Liquid Petroleum Gas and operates in much the same way as a standard gas boiler. The key difference here is that instead of sourcing gas directly from the mains, an LPG boiler is connected to a storage tank.
Rather than paying your monthly gas bills directly to a supplier, LPG gas must be bought in advance and stored outside your property. A qualified gas engineer will be able to advise you on the process, from the size of the tank required and its location, to ensuring there’s adequate spacing and airflow.
Additionally, it’s possible to convert a standard gas boiler to LPG. Here at Ideal, we have LPG conversion kits available for all outputs, including some of our most popular Logic and Vogue models. To find out more, speak to a Max Accredited Installer.
