A practical starting point for choosing gas supply for an off-grid or partly off-grid home.
Work out which appliances will use gas: cooking alone, hot water, a fireplace or whole-home heating. This helps a supplier discuss the practical supply options for your location. Terminology varies by country; propane is common in North America, while LPG is widely used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Ask whether the supplier can serve your exact address with cylinders or a fixed tank. Compare the total cost of fuel, delivery, installation and any equipment rental, rather than fuel price alone. Find out who owns the tank or bottles and who handles maintenance and safety checks. If gas powers heating or hot water, ask how quickly the supplier can respond when levels run low.
Search HouseGas by supplier name or select a suggested place to see documented providers nearby. A listing is a lead, not a guarantee of delivery: contact the supplier with your address, appliance needs and access details. A qualified installer can advise on equipment and the rules that apply where you live.
