Soon the outside temperatures will drop and the heating season will begin. The energy source liquefied petroleum gas offers a good alternative to heating with fuel oil. Modern liquid gas heating systems can provide comfortable temperatures throughout the house and at the same time contribute to environmental protection. This is because, compared to heating with oil, less CO2 and particulate matter is produced when liquid gas is burned. Especially in rural areas, where there is no connection for natural gas or district heating, the use of a liquid gas heating system is particularly suitable.
In addition, just like natural gas, liquefied gas can operate a gas stove and be used for cooking. In this case, it is only necessary to ensure that the gas stove contains combustion nozzles for liquid gas. For some stoves, the pressure reducer must also be replaced. In the case of households that were previously operated with oil heating, it is worth replacing the outdated heater with a liquid gas heater. Another feature is that the heating system can also be combined with solar thermal systems, heat pumps or block-type thermal power stations to create an energy-friendly system.
Unlike oil heating, the use of liquid gas tanks does not require a boiler room. The tanks can either be installed directly in the garden or, if desired, buried underground. This requires an appropriately large plot of land. The cost of liquid gas is usually slightly higher than the price of natural gas, but cheaper than the price of fuel oil. A major advantage is that the connection for liquid gas is not linked to a gas network and the supplier can be freely chosen.
