How do LPG Boilers work?

LPG boilers use liquid petroleum gas which is stored in an external storage tank to heat water in the central heating system. Thanks to this, LPG boilers can produce hot water which can be used to provide heating or hot water for your taps. If you have a property which is situated in a rural area, LPG boilers can be a very practical choice as properties that are located in rural areas may have limited or no direct access to the mains supply. Due to being a dense liquid, substantial quantities can be stored in a relatively small space. To suit a bespoke range of requirements, LPG boilers are also available in different systems to make sure that they meet your specific needs.

How often should I get my boiler serviced?

It is highly recommended by many engineers that your LPG boiler should be serviced at least once a year to keep it in tip-top condition, saving you time, money, and effort in the future. Failing to do this may void their guarantee, and more seriously can put you at risk. For example, carbon monoxide poisoning can and does occur as a result of faulty boilers. Regular LPG Boiler Maintenance in Waterloo can massively reduce this danger. We also recommend the installation of Carbon Monoxide alarms with all installations.

What are the benefits of LPG Boilers?

If you’re starting to get issues with your old oil boiler, it may be time to consider switching to LPG – a cleaner, greener alternative to oil. Just like oil, LPG is a convenient source of gas that’s ideal if you live in a remote or rural area without access to a mains gas connection. It’s a lower carbon, more environmentally friendly way to heat your home than oil. Although they are still a fossil fuel, it is cleaner than oil and produces around 15-20% less carbon. On average, modern LPG condensing boilers achieve efficiencies of 90%, are smaller than oil in their carbon footprint and have a lower noise output. Another benefit of LPG is that they are cheaper than electricity.
