What is LPG?

LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas which describes propane and butane gases. When stored under pressure, they become a liquid and take up much less space, making LPG easy to transport.

• LP Gas is a cost-effective alternative.
• LP Gas is a versatile gas that can be used for various applications in and around the home.
