Can I place orders manually?
-
A
Yes. AvantiGas give customers the option to manage their account and place orders manually. This may be a better option for those who don't live at their address permanently or those who have never used LPG previously. However with this option you will have to check your vessel gauge on a regular basis and ensure you place your orders when the gauge reaches 25% to ensure enough time for delivery.

Q
If I choose LPG for heating will I need to invest in another fuel for cooking?
-
A
No. Unlike other fossil fuels such as oil, LPG can be used for heating, hot water, gas fires and cooking, so you only need to invest in 1 fuel for your home or business. LPG is the closest alternative fuel to natural gas, which makes it ideal for all your energy needs.

Q
I'm planning on moving home, what do I need to do about my/an LPG supply?
-
A
If you're currently an AvantiGas customer and are looking to move home then please fill out our 'Moving home' form here or contact us on 0808 208 0000 quoting your account number. We will then assist you in either transferring your supply to your new property, or if you're moving to a new home with a mains gas supply, please let us know so we can terminate your account.
If you're not currently an AvantiGas customer, but are moving to a new home that doesn't have a mains gas supply, AvantiGas can help. Whether your home is a new build, is currently on oil/another form of fossil fuel, or is currently using LPG with another supplier, AvantiGas can assist with a reliable supply of LPG with high customer service levels.
If your new home doesn't currently use LPG, you'll need a bulk gas tank installation. For information and advice on choosing the right tank for you please visit our page on storage and supply by clicking here. You can also see our information on planning permission for a bulk LPG tank by clicking here.
If your new home currently uses oil or another form of fossil fuel (i.e. coal) and you're undecided about whether to switch to LPG, you can see the benefits of switching by clicking here and our rural fuel comparison with electricity, oil and solid fuel by clicking here.
