Advantages of LPG Heating

Ben Winrow • June 1, 2016

Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as propane, is a fuel that’s extracted when petroleum or natural gas streams emerge from the ground. Primarily used for heating, cooking and powering vehicles, LPG forms a liquid when it is pressurised, so it can be stored and transported easily.

Here’s a look at some of the uses of LPG and the main advantages of using this popular energy source.

Uses

In homes where mains gas supply is not available, LPG can be delivered to the home and then transferred to a pressurised tank that can be hidden underground to save space.
Gas BBQs are popular and are powered with smaller bottles of LPG.
LPG-powered cars have less carbon emissions, lower fuel costs and longer lasting engines.
LPG is also used in agricultural and industrial sectors.

Advantages

It produces a great deal of heat quickly, so less gas is needed for efficient heating. It also has more usable energy than natural gas.
It’s a virtually sulphur-free, cleaner gas with less carbon emissions than other fossil fuels.
It’s portable and convenient.
It’s ideal for remote areas where mains gas isn’t available.

In The Workplace

LPG is commonly used for heating and power generation in industrial workplaces. It is also effective and reliable at heating large areas such as warehouses and factories.

It can help businesses to reduce their carbon footprint. It also meets workplace air quality regulations and, if spilled, it won’t contaminate the environment.

LPG can be used to run a variety of heating systems such as ducted, suspended, floor-standing and cabinet heaters. As larger spaces can be heated up more quickly and efficiently, energy costs are reduced and workers can enjoy a more comfortable working environment.

Maintaining Your Commercial Heating System: Best Practices

By Winrow • February 16, 2026

Purchasing and installing a commercial heating system is only the beginning of utilising a new system. The maintenance of heating systems is arguably one of the most crucial elements in ensuring optimal performance, the lifespan of the equipment, and reducing operational costs in the running of a commercial heating system. Importance of Regular Maintenance of Heating Systems To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that a maintenance program be adhered to based on the facility in which it has been installed and the equipment in place. The idea of preventive maintenance also plays a role in this, making sure that the commercial heating system is routinely inspected and maintained, allowing any small issues to be identified before they potentially become more costly issues down the track. While you may be thinking that sticking to a routine maintenance schedule may not be important, there are certainly downsides to not maintaining your commercial heating system in place. Some challenges that can be experienced include increased wear and tear, more energy can be consumed with outdated and non-maintained systems, poor insulation can lead to wasted energy, and unbalanced heating across areas of the commercial space.
