LPG vs Electric Heating
LPG (LP Gas) vs Electric Heating
Strengths of LPG
LOWER UNIT COST – LPG has a lower unit cost than electricity.
CO2 EMISSION CONTROL
With LPG you know what your CO2 emissions are and can control them. With electricity from a mains supply you generally have no idea how the electricity was generated and therefore how big your carbon footprint is.
vs. RADIANT HEATERS
Radiant heaters can ignite nearby furnishings or objects due to the intensity of their output and lack of overheat protection.
vs. FAN HEATERS
Fan heaters are generally quite noisy.
vs. STORAGE HEATING
Storage heaters release their heat at a predefined rate, so if you set a heater to release its heat too fast you can ‘run out’ of heat before the end of the day.
vs. ELECTRICAL UNDERFLOOR HEATING
Requires the entire floor to be lifted and can create maintenance issues if there are future faults.
Strengths of Electric Heating
No storage tank required.
Not tied to an LPG supplier
Electric underfloor heating can free up walls, ceilings etc compared to some LPG alternatives (i.e. radiators or space heaters), but ‘wet’ under floor heating is also available as an LPG option.

This is the second time I have used LPG save and as I always review the market I am comfortable at having got a good deal. It’s certainly a strange business whereby new customers win out over customer loyalty and often forces a change of supplier every 2 years. Makes no sense to me but thanks to LPG save for sorting me a deal with Flogas again.

When l contacted Robert Flaxman they got back to me with a very good deal on the same day. The transition from my old supplier to new one was easy and went smoothly. I spoke to the staff on several occasions and each time they were very helpful. Highly recommended.

Second time we have used switch LPG having received the price from our present supplier I did a comparison of what other companies were offering. LPG switch service gave me a very competitive price which strangely was from our present supplier. I rang the present supplier for a reason as to why LPG switch are able to offer a better price with the same company and was told that the market works by becoming a new customer and being able to qualify for a new better deal, obviously companies are not able to offer loyal existing customers better deals. This is total madness to me but thank goodness LPG switch was able to give me a better deal. So I will be paying 10p a LTR less by having done a comparison search and letting LPG take out all the stress of having to contact individual companies. The service was simple and 1st class I can highly recommend the team at LPG switch and save.
