Residential LPG in the Tablelands

Yes, LPG is safe when handled and used correctly. It’s important to follow proper storage, installation and usage guidelines to minimise risk. LPG appliances should always be installed and serviced by licensed gas fitters, and cylinders must be stored upright in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Safety valves and leak detection systems are built into many setups to enhance protection. Always check for the smell of gas and use soapy water on fittings if you suspect a leak. Routine maintenance, awareness and responsible handling are key to keeping LPG a safe and efficient energy solution.

Residential LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is commonly used in homes for cooking, heating, and hot water systems. It's a versatile fuel source suitable for gas stoves, ovens, room heaters, outdoor barbecues, and gas hot water systems. LPG burns cleanly and efficiently, making it a popular alternative where natural gas is unavailable. Homeowners often choose LPG for its reliability, quick heat-up times, and cost-effectiveness. Whether for indoor appliances or outdoor entertaining, LPG offers consistent performance year-round. Regular servicing of appliances and safe storage of cylinders ensures your household benefits from LPG’s full potential in a safe and sustainable way.

Residential LPG is usually delivered in refillable cylinders, commonly in sizes like 45kg for stationary use or smaller bottles for barbecues and portable heaters. These cylinders are exchanged or refilled on-site depending on your supplier’s service. Cylinders should be stored outdoors in an upright position, away from direct sunlight, ignition sources and enclosed spaces. Delivery frequency depends on usage levels and the number of appliances connected. Some households may opt for automatic delivery scheduling, while others call when levels run low. Keeping cylinders accessible and securing them properly ensures prompt, safe refills and a reliable gas supply.
