LPG FOR HOT WATER & COOKING

This is considerably cheaper than purchasing the expensive cylinders (which, of course, run out at dinner time etc.Therefore can guarantee the hot water/ cooking gas at all times.we use this system although for heating we have "moved on" to using wood for our heating.As this place is very large even at E.0,61 X LITRE it's too expensive to heat with.but it makes sense for cooking/heating water.

We have it connected to mains gas and we find it reasonable for Italian standards. Before being connected to mains it was expensive and a nightmare.

61 cents  per litre! Sebastiano, how do you do it? Even 10 years ago we could never negotiate a price for lpg from a tank as low as that!

He said "no probs!, he'd popped next door, to another [empty] holiday home and swapped it with their gas canister!"  He did replace it on the Monday
