Can I switch to another LPG supplier?
A domestic customer of Bulk LPG (Propane) with a bulk LPG tank (Above Ground or Below Ground) can, from 13th April 2009 switch to another LPG supplier without the need to exchange or uplift your Bulk LPG Tank. The ownership of the tank will simply transfer to the new Bulk LPG supplier, which makes the switch process easy and quicker for both you and the new Bulk LPG Tank supplier. When can my Bulk LPG supplier be switched? A Home Bulk Tank LPG Supply Agreement is for 2 years only. If you are outside of your 2-year Supply Agreement or you are within 14 days of the end of the agreement, you can start the switch process.
What is the cost to switch to another Bulk LPG supplier? There is no cost to switch to a new Bulk LPG supplier, it is completely FREE. Will my LPG supply be interrupted? During the switch process your Bulk LPG supply will not be interrupted. As your tank is not being exchanged you will have continuity of your supply. Your existing supplier is obligated to provide you with fuel right up until the tank ownership and switch process has completed and your new supplier takes over. What does Telemetry do? Telemetry: This device can be fitted to your Bulk LPG tank a switch is completed. Telemetry allows you and your LPG provider to see ‘remotely’ how much gas is in the Tank. This helps determine when a delivery is needed. Automatic Top-up? If you wish to do so, you can select to be on ‘Top-up’. This means that when your tank reaches an agreed safety level, normally 25-30%, a delivery will be dispatched to you automatically, ensuring that you don't run out of LPG! |

Budget DD; where you spread the cost of your gas over 12 months or Variable DD where the full amount owed is taken by DD, Credit or Debit Card, Cheque or BACS. Tank Rental / Standing Charges?
