Is LPG being phased out for home heating?

No – LPG is not being banned or phased out in the UK. You can still install, replace and repair LPG boilers, particularly in off-grid rural homes.

However, the government is encouraging lower-carbon alternatives. So homeowners are advised to consider future options like hybrid systems or heat pumps where posssible.

Are LPG central heating systems worth it in [year]?

LPG central heating systems are a good option if:

Your property is off the mains gas network
You want instant heating and hot water
A heat pump isn’t suitable for your home or budget

That said, LPG is usually more expensive to run than mains gas, so it’s best suited to homes with good insulation and efficient controls.

Do you need a special boiler for LPG gas?

Yes. You’ll need an LPG-specific boiler or a compatible boiler converted for LPG use. Standard gas boilers cannot run safely on LPG without modification.

A Gas Safe registered heating engineer qualified for LPG must carry out the work.
