With the rising costs of energy, switching to an LPG boiler can help you reduce heating costs while still enjoying high-efficiency performance. Learn more about LPG boilers, how they work, and what to expect during the installation process.
An LPG boiler is a heating system that uses Liquefied Petroleum Gas as its fuel source to heat your home and provide hot water. LPG is a clean-burning, highly efficient fuel, making it an ideal alternative for homes not connected to the mains gas network. LPG boilers offer the same level of performance as traditional gas boilers but are powered by LPG, which is stored in external tanks and delivered to your home as needed.
LPG is a versatile fuel that burns cleaner than oil, reducing carbon emissions and promoting better air quality. It’s a great option for homes in rural areas or locations where access to natural gas is limited. Plus, with an LPG boiler, you have greater control over your energy supply, as the fuel is stored on-site and replenished as required.
Typical installation of an LPG Boiler takes around 1 – 3 Days
At Smart Energy Homes, we take care of the entire LPG boiler installation process, ensuring that everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect.
We’ll start by conducting a free site survey to assess your home’s heating needs and determine the ideal location for the LPG tank and boiler. This ensures the system is tailored to your property’s layout for optimal performance.
If you don’t already have an LPG tank, we will arrange for the installation of a secure, externally located tank, which is connected to your home’s heating system. The size of the tank will depend on your energy consumption and property size.
Our Gas Safe-registered engineers will install the LPG boiler in a convenient and safe location within your home. The boiler will be connected to the LPG tank, and the system will be integrated with your existing heating system (radiators, underfloor heating, or both).
Once installed, we will test the entire system to ensure it is working efficiently and safely. We’ll also demonstrate how to operate the system and provide advice on maintenance.
The installation of an LPG boiler typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the system and whether a new tank needs to be installed. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the highest standard of work.

Here are some commonly asked questions about LPG Boilers, if you can’t find the answer to your question here please done hesitate to get in contact with us.
An LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) boiler is a heating system that uses LPG stored in an external tank to heat your home and provide hot water. It’s an efficient option for properties not connected to the mains gas network.
LPG is piped from a storage tank into the boiler, where it is burned to generate heat. This heat is used to warm water, which is then circulated through radiators or underfloor heating to heat your home, and also provides hot water for domestic use.
LPG tends to be more expensive than mains gas but cheaper than electricity and oil for home heating. Costs vary depending on your supplier, location, and usage, but LPG is generally considered an efficient fuel option for homes not on the gas grid.
The installation process usually takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the system and whether an external storage tank needs to be installed. Our engineers work efficiently to minimise disruption.
Yes, like all boilers, LPG boilers require regular maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation. An annual service by a Gas Safe-registered engineer is recommended to check for any issues and optimise performance.
Yes, LPG boilers come in a range of sizes and capacities, making them suitable for both small and large properties. The boiler size and tank capacity will be selected based on your home’s heating and hot water needs.
LPG burns cleaner than oil and coal, producing lower carbon emissions and less air pollution. Switching to an LPG boiler can help reduce your home’s carbon footprint compared to older, less efficient heating systems.
You’ll need to refill your LPG tank when it’s low, either manually or through an automatic top-up system offered by some suppliers. Keeping an eye on your tank levels ensures you won’t run out of fuel unexpectedly.
Yes, LPG is a safe fuel when used and stored properly. Modern LPG boilers and tanks are designed with safety features, and regular maintenance will help ensure your system operates safely. Always use a Gas Safe-registered engineer for installation and servicing.
Yes, many homeowners switch from oil to LPG boilers due to the cleaner burn and improved efficiency. The process involves installing an LPG boiler and a storage tank, and in many cases, your existing heating system can be used.
