Understanding LPG
Get all the answers to your questions about liquid petroleum gas
If your property cannot accommodate a storage tank (or if you plan to use gas for cooking or gas fires only), neat propane cylinders provide an ideal solution. They come in many handy shapes and sizes to suit a variety of uses, from indoor gas cookers and portable gas heaters, to outdoor patio gas heaters, camping gas stoves, and barbeques.

That very much depends on how much you need to use. If you only need to cook or light a gas fire with LPG, bottled gas might be sufficient. If you plan to use LPG to heat your home, you might be better off with a bulk tank.
Our guide to bulk tanks and bottled gas should help you make an informed decision. But if in doubt, simply call our customer support team today and they can help you with any questions.

On most rural sites, a connection to the mains is often not an option. The alternative for many people is an LPG bulk tank where LPG is stored neatly adjacent to your home in a special tank — creating your very own personal supply.
An LPG bulk tank is just like a regular oil tank, but cleaner, easier to fill, and much more secure than oil. Flogas has helped many families install an economical, safe gas central heating system, wherever they are in Ireland.

At home, LPG is a reliable and safe energy source used for central heating, mobile heating, water heating, cooking, drying, and outdoor uses such as barbeques and patio heaters.
LPG provides a portable and reliable energy to power many different types of businesses, from instant water heating for dairy farms, to grain drying for large cereal processing plants. It’s found everywhere in Ireland from top restaurants and hotels to schools and public facilities.
LPG is the short name for liquid petroleum gas, a clean-burning, controllable, and sustainable fuel. Obtained directly from the North Sea or during the processing of crude oil, it’s a versatile and flexible source of energy, free from both lead and sulphur.
One of the big benefits of LPG is that it’s very portable — it can be transported, stored, and used virtually anywhere as an energy source. It’s supplied in bulk tanks, butane, or propane cylinders (bottled gas) and is a reliable energy source both at home and in industry.
LPG also creates lower greenhouse gas emissions than petrol, diesel, and electricity, on an energy-equivalent basis. Plus, there are enough reserves to last for many decades.
