What we do
Specialists in LPG boiler installations and servicing
LPG, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is a versatile, lower-carbon fuel supplied in bottles or delivered by tanker, principally propane and butane. It gives you a genuine alternative to mains gas or oil wherever your property is off the grid. It flows under greater pressure than mains gas, so the jets inside your boiler can be smaller, keeping efficiency high and running costs down.
Because gas burns more completely than oil and other fuels, there is far less residue to clog your system or pollute the environment. LPG produces around 20% less carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour than heating oil, the lowest carbon footprint of any fossil fuel available to rural households, and gives you a far wider choice of boiler, since many mains gas models can be converted to run on it.

What Is An LPG Boiler System?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is a gaseous fuel supply sold in bottles or delivered by tanker. Sometimes you will see it called GPL, this is just a European version of the same name (“Gas de Petróleo Licuado”). It principally contains propane and butane. LPG gas flows under greater pressure than mains gas, so the jets inside the boiler can be smaller. This helps efficiency and keeps down the running costs. Because gas burns more completely than oil and other types of fuel, there are fewer side products to slowly clog the system or pollute the environment. LPG produces about 20% less carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour than heating oil and has the lowest carbon emissions of any fossil fuel available to rural households. LPG also gives you a far wider choice of boilers, because many ordinary mains gas boilers can be converted to burn LPG. They also tend to be smaller in size, giving you more flexibility as to where to install them. For those who own a property that is off the grid, or perhaps considering a boiler for a caravan home or boat, LPG could be your best solution. Tanker delivered LPG can be stored in tanks that hold between one and two thousand litres. They can be sunk underground if you prefer them completely out of sight. Whereas theft of heating oil and other fuel supplies is not unknown in some rural areas, theft from a tank of LPG is very unlikely. If you want to buy in smaller quantities or require something more portable, you can also choose to have gas delivered in exchangeable bottles. Even if you already use LPG, Invictus Mechanical can help you make the switch to a modern condenser type boiler, which can give you considerable improvements in fuel efficiency and reliability.
Planning Your LPG Installation
At Invictus Mechanical, we have years of experience providing comprehensive LPG solutions for homeowners, business owners, agents and landlords. We can advise you about all your LPG requirements before any development work commences. There are several important safety rules that will inform the installation, and LPG cylinders have to be located outside when they are part of a permanent installation. Your boiler must be at least 2 metres from any untrapped gullies, cellar openings or storm drains. It must also be a minimum of a metre from any other combustible material and from all doors, air vents and windows, if they can be opened.
