Why Domestic LPG?
For homes not connected to the mains natural gas network, LPG offers a similar experience – the same responsive, convenient gas flame for central heating, cooking and hot water, delivered to a tank on your property rather than through a pipeline.
LPG burns cleanly and efficiently, making it one of the more environmentally preferable fossil fuels available for off-grid heating.
Meet Our Specialists
Focused on safe, reliable off-grid gas supply, our LPG specialists provide the tank sizing advice, installation expertise and automatic monitoring needed to ensure your home never runs short of gas for heating, cooking and hot water.
A Complete Service
BATA supplies domestic LPG by bulk tanker to a storage tank at your property. Once installed, your boiler, hob, oven or fire works just like a mains gas system. Instead of paying a gas bill based on grid consumption, you order LPG – or have your tank automatically topped up – as needed. We can assess your usage and recommend the right tank size and delivery schedule.
Our automatic top-up service is popular with domestic customers. We monitor your tank level remotely and arrange deliveries before you run low, helping ensure you’re never left without gas. Our mini-tankers can also reach remote properties across the dales, moors and wolds of North Yorkshire.
Why Choose BATA?
With free tank installation, automatic monitoring that takes the worry off your hands, and reliable delivery to even the most remote Yorkshire properties, BATA makes off-grid LPG as convenient as mains gas.
Payment Choice
Choose how you pay - on delivery, direct debit, or a budget payment plan that spreads your annual gas cost across monthly payments.
Testimonials
BATA Customer
"We converted from oil to LPG three years ago and it was the best decision we made. The new boiler is far more efficient, the gas supply has been completely reliable, and BATA's auto-top-up service means we genuinely never think about fuel anymore. Brilliant from start to finish."
BATA Customer
"Our cottage isn't on the mains gas network and LPG through BATA has given us the same convenience as a normal gas supply. The tank was installed free of charge, the engineer was thorough and explained everything, and the automatic monitoring means I've never had to think about ordering gas since. Couldn't recommend them more."
BATA Customer
"We live in a fairly remote part of the Wolds and were told by one supplier that our access was too difficult for LPG delivery. BATA's mini-tanker had no such problem. Three years on, supply has been faultless and the automatic top-up takes all the worry out of it."
FAQs
How does domestic LPG work - how is the gas stored and delivered?
How does domestic LPG work - how is the gas stored and delivered?
LPG is stored as a liquid under pressure in a steel tank installed at your property - either above-ground or underground. As gas is drawn off at the top, the liquid vaporises and travels through a regulator that reduces the pressure to safe operating levels before entering your property's gas pipework. Your boiler, hob, fire and other appliances then operate exactly as they would on mains gas. BATA refills your tank by connecting a tanker to the fill point and pumping in fresh LPG under pressure.
What size LPG tank do I need for a domestic property?
What size LPG tank do I need for a domestic property?
Tank size depends on your property size, insulation level, number of occupants, and the appliances connected to LPG. For a typical detached house using LPG for heating, hot water and cooking, a 1,000-litre (47kg equivalent) bulk tank is often the starting point, while larger properties with higher consumption may need a 1,700–2,700 litre tank. BATA will assess your requirements during a free site visit and recommend the appropriate tank size and location before any installation.
Is LPG safe to have at home?
Is LPG safe to have at home?
Yes - LPG has an excellent safety record when properly installed and maintained. It is stored in tanks designed and tested to rigorous international standards. LPG is heavier than air, so in the event of a leak it disperses at low level rather than accumulating overhead. Tanks installed by BATA conform to all UKLPG Codes of Practice, are installed at required safety distances from buildings and boundaries, and are fitted with safety relief valves. Our Gas Safe registered engineers ensure all pipework and appliances are correctly installed and leak-tested.
Can I switch from oil heating to LPG?
Can I switch from oil heating to LPG?
Yes - many homeowners switch from oil to LPG for a variety of reasons including appliance preference, reliability, or the availability of modern condensing LPG boilers. A fuel conversion involves replacing your boiler with an LPG-compatible unit, installing an LPG storage tank, and converting or replacing your burner. Our heating engineers can survey your existing system and advise on the most cost-effective conversion approach. Contact us to discuss whether a fuel switch makes sense for your property and lifestyle.
What happens if I want to change gas supplier?
What happens if I want to change gas supplier?
If you have a tank installed by BATA and wish to change supplier, contact our fuel team to discuss your options. Supply agreements typically have a minimum term and notice provisions. If you decide to change, the outgoing supplier's tank will need to be removed and a new tank installed by your new supplier - this involves some inconvenience and potentially some cost depending on the terms of your agreement. Many customers find that the combination of BATA's local service, competitive pricing and reliable delivery removes the need to change.
