Advantages of Calor; compared to oil, electricity & natural gas
Compared to Oil
- More versatile, can be used catering as well as water and space heating.
- Burns cleanly without soot.
- Appliances require less maintenance.
- Instantly controllable flame temperature.
- Combustion is virtually odourless.
- Spillage does not pollute soil.
- Tank can be sited underground without the need for a pump.
- No need to construct containment for potential tank spill..
- Very low sulphur emissions and more environmentally desirable.
- LPG purity enables the use of direct firing systems with almost 100% efficiency.
Compared to Electricity
- Heat is instantly available and readily controlled.
- One price, for 24 hours, free from peak time penalty rates.
- Gas supply not liable to unplanned interruption in a power cut.
- More responsive for direct heating systems.
- Reduced carbon emissions means that LPG is environmentally cleaner for a given output.
- Equally as versatile, from portable heating and cooking to transport.
Compared to Natural Gas
- Easily transported and stored.
- Produces more than twice the output per volume.
- Ignites at lower temperatures.
- Uses smaller pipe sizes.
- Independent of the need to lay mains pipes.
- Equally suitable for all types of commercial or industrial installation, as well as in residential developments of all sizes.
