The New Zealand LPGA is a useful source of information about Home LPG installations. You can find their site at www.gasnz.org.nz
We have taken a few important documents from their site for easy reference:
- LPGA – Consumer guide to Home LPG in 45kg bottles
- LPGA – Cylinder Installation Guide – Home LPG in 45kg Bottles
- LPGA – FAQ’s for Home LPG in 45kg cylinders
Once you have your bottled LPG installation in place, or if you have just moved into a house with bottled LPG, one of the great mystery’s will be when to order and how long your bottles will last. How long your bottles will last is a very good question, without an exact answer. The LPGA info above gives the math so you can work it out for your situation, but as a very rough guide, two people, hot water and cooking only might get 8-12 weeks from a bottle in summer and 6-8 weeks in winter. The length of your showers and the size of your califont will impact this very rough guide.
