If your Wiltshire home isn’t connected to the mains gas network, an LPG boiler installation is one of the most reliable ways to get efficient heating and hot water without switching to oil. LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, boilers can improve efficiency to over 90%, and we can install the full onsite supply, tank and all, as part of the job.
Why Choose LPG for a Wiltshire Home Off the Gas Grid?
A lot of the villages and rural properties we work on across Wiltshire simply don’t have access to mains gas. LPG gives you a similar experience to a mains gas boiler, efficient, responsive heating and hot water, without needing a gas main to reach your property.
How Does an LPG Boiler Installation Work?
If you don’t already have an LPG supply, we install everything needed on site, including a concrete base, storage tank and fuel line running to your appliance. All work is carried out by our Gas Safe registered engineers, and the whole process is designed to be as straightforward as a standard boiler installation.
Do You Need a Storage Tank for LPG?
Yes, unless you’re using replaceable cylinders instead. Storage tanks can be sited above or below ground, depending on your property and preferences, and give you a larger reserve of gas than cylinders alone.
Cylinders or Bulk Tank Delivery, Which Is Better?
It depends on how much gas your home uses and how much space you have. Replaceable cylinders suit lower usage or properties with limited space, while a permanent storage tank with bulk delivery tends to suit homes with higher heating demand, since it means fewer deliveries and less manual cylinder changing.
What Does a Telemetry Unit Do?
A telemetry unit monitors your gas usage and lets your supplier know when a delivery is needed, whether you’re using cylinders or a storage tank. It takes the guesswork out of managing your supply, so you’re less likely to run low unexpectedly.
Is LPG More Efficient Than Oil for Off-Grid Homes?
Both modern LPG and oil condensing boilers can reach similar efficiency levels, over 90% in many cases, so the right choice usually comes down to your property, existing setup and personal preference rather than one fuel being clearly better than the other.
Getting LPG Installed in a Rural Wiltshire Property
Every off-grid property is a little different, which is why we start with a home visit to assess your heating needs, the best location for a tank or cylinders, and which boiler size suits your household. We’ll talk you through cylinders versus a storage tank so you can choose what fits your home and your budget.
Common Questions About LPG Boiler Installation
Can I switch from oil to LPG in my Wiltshire home?
Yes, we can assess your existing setup and advise whether switching to LPG makes sense, including what’s involved in installing a new tank and supply.
Do you install both the boiler and the LPG supply?
Yes, we handle the full installation, including the concrete base, tank or cylinder setup, fuel line and boiler itself.
Is LPG safe for domestic use?
Yes, when installed and maintained by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Only ever use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit, fix or service any gas appliance, including LPG systems.
