7 things you don't need to worry about with LPG. (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

There are many things that keep business owners awake at night; staff, suppliers, the taxman.....however being located off the mains gas grid does not need to be one of them.

There are a number of headaches commonly associated with some off-grid fuels, but not with LPG. Here are just a few of the things you don't need to worry about when using LPG to fuel your business.

1. Running out

Not only is LPG widely available across the UK, many LPG suppliers offer tanks fitted with technology that monitors your gas level for you. So no need to put re-ordering in the company calender, this can all be taken care of by your supplier.

2. Performance

LPG can be up to 5 times more efficient than traditional fuels as a high proportion of its energy content is converted into heat. In addition, LPG offers a stable temperature control. All of this means it is perfect for heating, drying and cooking processes.

Many warehouses and manufacturing facilities use LPG to fuel their forklift fleet as it is more powerful than its electric counterparts and can be used both indoor and outdoor, unlike the diesel alternative that is too polluting to be used in an indoor environment.

3. Delays

LPG provides instant heat and is used by many businesses to deliver instant hot water, providing savings by eliminating storage and unnecessary heating costs.

With LPG forklifts, the vehicles can be refueled in minutes, delivering 24/7 operational capabilities with virtually no downtime in contrast to electric trucks.

4.Maintenance costs

Particularly when taking whole life costs into account, a switch from oil to LPG can lead to significant savings. A cleaner fuel than oil, and with lower carbon content, LPG means chimneys and flues require less cleaning and that pipework and filters are under less strain. By opting for LPG, businesses can reduce the overall maintenance costs associated with their heating systems.

5. Compliance

With regulatory obligations driving demand for cleaner energy sources. LPG is fast gaining ground as a low-carbon, future-friendly solution. Legislation such as the Energy related Products directive can make alternative, more polluting fuel sources either obsolete or too expensive, whilst LPG as a cleaner fuel means it is more likely to comply with future legislative requirements.

6. Versatility

A highly adaptable fuel, LPG can be used for a wide variety of applications, as well as heating and cooking, therefore there is no need to worry about needing multiple energy sources.

7. Future low carbon requirements

There are a large range of renewable energies available such as solar, biomass and wind. However, relying solely on a renewable energy source can be problematic. A flexible gas, LPG can be used alongside the latest low carbon technologies to meet the needs of businesses looking to boost their green credentials.

The arguments above were first published by Rob Shuttleworth Chief Executive UKLPG but we felt it needed a wider audience.

Variety is the spice of life!

Recently I made a study of the Towler & Staines website and was amazed to discover that we offer over 600 hundred lines to our customers.

Of course the primary business of the Bradford and Keighley based Calor Gas Principal Dealer is bottled gas: butane, propane, cartridges, industrial gases from Air Products and drinks dispense gases from Air Liquide. However, we offer a whole lot more, believing that variety is the spice of life.

There are the products you would expect such as patio heaters, cabinet heaters, industrial heaters, and gas barbecues. Also the "Tool Box" items such as regulators, hoses, hose connectors, weed burners, torch kits and accessories are to be expected.

However, the Camping and Caravan section is full of surprises with 197 useful products on offer at bargain prices, most of them nothing to do with gas!

The Clever Ideas section has 15 lines including: Doggy Bags, Pizza Ovens, the Nutribullet,
Dessert Bullet, X-Hose and Table Clips.

Visit our website today, out of over 600 items you may find something you cannot live without!!!

The retail experience.

Recently I experienced a bad retail experience with a national electrical outlet when I purchased a Smart TV set. It took 5 visits over a two week period to have things working correctly. My daughter had a bad experience when purchasing furniture from a national children's products retailer. This led me to review the service we give at my own company: Towler & Staines the LPG Specialists and Principal Calor Gas Dealer in Keighley and Bradford. Fortunately, I was most encouraged by what I found.

The main thing is that our staff know a great deal about LPG (Calor Gas), LPG Appliances and Industrial Gases (Air Products) because of their many years of experience. The average service for our staff is an amazing 20 years. Two members of staff have been at Towler & Staines for over 30 years and they have shared their knowledge and experience with all the other staff.

The Towler & Staines journey has involved a rapid change in technology, product development and legislation.To ensure maximum benefit to our customers our managers attend all relevant industry exhibitions and seminars often finding new and improved products to offer.

All our delivery drivers have certification in manual handling, fork lift truck operation, ADR (licence for carriage of hazardous goods), CPC (driver training and hours limitation) as well as product safety courses from Calor Gas and Air Products.We really do have the experience to help you in this complicated industry.

We have also received a number of emails and letters of thanks for our friendly and efficient service.
