Residential LPG cylinder exchange
This service provides customers with two gas bottles that are linked to a changeover valve; when one bottle runs out, the connection will automatically switch over to the second. You can then order a replacement bottle from ELGAS and a local driver will deliver a new cylinder and exchange it with your empty bottle.
ELGAS EasyGas
This is designed for off-grid or rural homes and offers bulk filling services for cylinders from 45kg to 210kg, or LPG tanks from 0.5 tonne up to 3 tonne. Your gas bottles are refilled without the need to change over the gas bottle.
ELGAS gas prices
ELGAS promises competitive rates for home LPG users. Prices will vary depending on how far an ELGAS truck must travel to deliver gas to your home. The further you live from an ELGAS depot, the more you’ll need to pay.
