Just got quotes to upgrade from 20lb to 2 x 100lb cylinders. Average cost for supply and installation is $2,600, assuming tanks and stove are at ground level and within about 6m of each other.

Includes all material and labour, along with two full LPG tanks and regulator.

hello

How much would it cost to relocate an existing tank setup to the other side of a house?

Hi, yes it can definitely be reused. Once installed, a gas pressure check would determine if the regulator is flowing properly.
This needs to be done with a water column gauge at the output end.

Hi, that cost can vary depending on the setback distances and the amount of gas tubing used. A site visit can be done to give you an estimate of the cost. You can whatsapp me and we can set up an appointment if you like (the visit is at no cost to you)

Pro kleen = lil more methane in the tank like nat gas. (Disadvantage they don’t say, it’s less dense and requires more flow so it does indeed finish faster for same heat production )


Top tip If you’re outfitted with big pro kleen tanks, you could also run the stoves and appliances all oem, rather than previously needed ‘conversion kits’ for.

Tried it a few times.

As per the claims of a cleaner burning (less sooty) fire and higher heat, I can't say it's really much different to the regular LPG. Maybe a little less soot, but to me the regular LPG really doesn't soot much if your burners are clean and properly mounted/adjusted.

Switched back to regular LPG because the difference, if any, wasn't worth it to me. But I won't talk anyone out of trying it, as they may see a benefit in their scenario. You can make your own judgement.

Agreed, a good working stove shouldnt soot up.

I'll try the prokleen soon and see if its really worth the extra cost

Switched to electric will never go back

1. Do not have to go buy tanks which often finish at the worst time

2. No big bomb in the kitchen or an even bigger bomb outside the house

3. Easy clean-up of stove top

4. No noticeable change in light bill

5. Faster cooking

6. Less Maintenance

7. No open flame in the house

8. Less indoor pollution

9. Better looking

Yes, you can use a wok on an electric stove, especially with a flat-bottomed wok.

For a round-bottomed wok, a wok ring is needed to help stabilize it on the burner.


But just buy a flat bottomed wok

Ah mean you can a average how you cook with the 20lb tanks and you can have an idea when the tank finishes. So mine usually last 3 mths per tank. One remains in a cabinet in the kitchen and i have another in the laundry stored for backup. Electric is nice. Never really considered it. What happens when current goes, which can happen anytime?
