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.

I have had LPG for many years and have had contracts with most suppliers, and had issues with many. I have used LPGSave now for the last 3 successive contract renewals. They are always responsive, are very knowledgeable and provide exceptional savings. They are very efficient and it saves a lot of research work using their expertise. I have dealt with nearly all the team and they are all excellent. I would recommend them to anyone that uses LPG and wants to get the best contract and save money.

used them twice now to renegotiate my elderly FIL's LPG account and both times much better price than originally offered. No cost to us so no brainer to use them and will again in 2 years time

This is at least the third time we have used this company to negotiate our gas supply renewal. Each time they have got us a better deal from our existing supplier than the deal we can negotiate directly from that supplier.

As a large (12,000L pa) bulk domestic consumer of LPG, I am always keen to get the best possible price. LPG-save have twice now got me a better price from my existing supplier than I was offered directly. Insurance companies are now prevented from discriminating against loyal customers over new business in this way; but not it seems gas suppliers. Importantly too, LPG-save explained how additional charges can make a market-leading headline quote potentially uncompetitive. With the the rise of direct marketing by providers, brokers are no longer so prominent as they used to be, but LPG-save show how valuable is the service they provide in markets such as LPG where there is a clear asymmetry of information between providers and consumers.
