How longs a piece of string?

If you dont turn it on it will last forever. What sort of usage you looking at? 2 hours a night, two hours on the morning?, how many people I.e. hot water usage?

Have a look on the calor site, they are doing free tank install and upto 12m of pipework for swapping fuels.

Personally wouldnt touch with a barge pole. Cheaper alternatives out there. Even oils cheaper than lpg.

It will be alot. I think my bottles cost me £70ish including deposit for the bottle which is about £25 they wont last that long you either running so many rads. Really you want to go bulk storage or another fuel.

Easy 47kg bottle is 90 ltrs of gas this = 90 x 8 kw/ltr = 720 kws

if your 14 rad system has a 15 kw boiler the bottle will last 720/15 = 48 hrs, if the boiler only runs 15 mins out of every
hour then the bottle will last 48 x 4 = 192 hrs, if you take a lot of gas off the bottle on warm up it might freeze up better use 4 bottles
on a manifold.

Good luck

A 1000 litre tank is FOC just a small rent, but the gas will be much cheaper in bulk I don't see the point, but what do I know

I would go oil

You forgot to factor in the boiler efficiency :smart::smart::!blank:
