    I'd choose gas over oil. You can't steal gas. If your installing an a rates boiler I'd definitely go a little further and upgrade your heating controls as this gets the most out of your gas boiler due to its modulation capabilities. TRV's on the radiators would be a good idea also

    Do a search for Calor on this forum. There are some interesting threads although many are older posts. Cost seems to be a significant issue together with the contract and ongoing tank rental. Perhaps things have changed since then. It would be interesting to hear from any current users.

    Can anyone explain the standing charge of 199.78 on calor gas tank, I understood from calor gas that if I filled 600 Ltrs annually, I would not be charged this enormous charge, I only use gas as a standby, never c anybody from calor from one end of year to another, please advise should I change to oil, I can't afford to pay this huge figure

    600l or 3,060 kWh of gas with no tank rental is not a viable contract.
    Do you have any element of take or pay if u don't burn enough.

    We pay rental on our esb meters, gas meters, water meters, so why should lpg be different, especially with such low usage

    As a Calor user in more than one property since 1997, I can't see any issue over contract or tank rental. Tank rental is about €70/year, and they maintain it. Flogas is similar. Hardly going to break anyone.

    As for contract, outside any special offer you agree to on signing up, you can change at any time. There is no tie-in.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
