Calor Gas (Calor) has launched a new LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) price promise for specifiers and installers, which guarantees that Calor LPG will be cheaper than their commercial clients’ current oil price.
Research indicates that most specifiers and installers of off-grid fuel solutions believe that oil is a much cheaper alternative to LPG and, as a result, there is limited awareness of the many benefits of the fuel source.
As well as the fact that LPG is frequently cheaper than oil in real pence per kilowatt terms, the fuel also comes with a wide range of inherent user benefits including higher efficiencies, reduced carbon emissions, lower total cost of ownership and reduced risk.
Calor’s ‘LPG – lower price guarantee’ therefore is aimed at M&E engineers, heating and energy consultants, architects and installers specifying off-grid fuel solutions for commercial installations only, to challenge this common misconception and to create awareness of the cost and efficiency benefits that can be realised through a Calor LPG installation.
Keith Higginson, commercial marketing manager from Calor adds: “There are many reasons why LPG is the ideal fuel source for off-grid commercial installations and, while our price guarantee offers a tangible reason to make the switch from oil, we also want to educate the market that price is not the only benefit on offer.
“As well as offering more fixed and stable pricing, as LPG supply typically exceeds demand, LPG also offers a host of benefits that oil installations simply cannot deliver. These range from large carbon savings and improved environmental performance, to lower risk, to improved boiler performance and efficiency to compatibility with renewables.
“For example, while heating oil theft is increasing, LPG theft is almost unheard of as it is technically very difficult to steal from an LPG tank. In addition, the financial and reputational damage of an oil spillage can be extensive; whereas LPG leaks and spills don’t pose ground or water pollution hazards.
“LPG is also the cleanest burning fossil fuel for CO2, sulphur oxides, nitrous oxides and particulates, resulting in healthier air quality and, is a logical, low carbon backup fuel to renewable technologies.”
