And far much more convenient. We also made the switch and it is great. My best advice: Do it as quickly as you can.

Sorry, I should have said it is actually LPG which will be fed from 2 tanks on our development. Has anyone had experience of using this ?

as a by product of installing gas free heating systems - wood - solar - heat pump - I find that a couple of bottles is enough for cooking. So you are potentially already there and can avoid the hassles and costs of a shared system. Bombolas are old hat things where the gas companies charge you enough to recover their cost. Our geometra installed one when the house was restored but it goes for 6 years between fill ups and is mainly used for cooking....

Look into a Air Source Heat

Look into a Air Source Heat Pump. You can get special electricity rates to run it. Much lower than the normal charges.

Thanks for your comments everyone. Unfortunately as we're not residents we're not entitled to cheaper electricity rates. Although the flat is very small, we're currently dependent on gas for cooking and hot water and electricity for heating. We will have the choice next year to switch to LPG, and although more convenient, if anyone knows anying about running costs against bottled gas I'd be pleased to hear your views, particularly as we only spend approximately 6 months of the year there and don't let it.
