You will need to periodically check the regulator on the top of the cylinder. When the regulator is red, this indicates one of your cylinders is empty. To avoid running out of gas, it’s important to order an LPG refill when you run out here.

How do I organise a new LPG connection?
If you’re adding bottled gas to your home for the first time, you will require a gasfitter to install and connect the system. Safety regulations require that once OnGas has delivered the cylinders, the gasfitter will need to return to the property to connect the installation to the gas supply (cylinders) and turn the gas on.
Apart from the gasfitter’s time and materials (e.g. pipework), there are some initial set up costs for your cylinder station which will also be incurred from your gasfitter. These are items such as the concrete pavers to place the cylinders on, chain set, regulator, regulator cover and hoses.

Can I get a meter reading for LPG?
No. Your LPG cylinders will be mounted on the side of your house and not linked to a meter.
-
Do I need to be at home when you replace my LPG cylinders?
No. However, we may be unable to install your LPG cylinder refill due to, no access, gate locked, safety or unable to locate install area. If this is the case, we will leave a card in your mailbox to advise you of this. Simply contact us to organise redelivery (please note, a fee may apply.)
