Domestic heating installers can give their business a boost in off-grid areas by taking advantage of Calor’s new homeowner offer.
Rural homeowners can now receive a free above ground LPG tank installation when they switch their energy supply to Calor LPG before 31st August 2014, and installers can benefit from this by offering new boiler installations or by servicing the new heating system.
Calor is encouraging installers to inform customers of the offer, and in doing so, benefit from the additional work that may need to be carried out alongside or following the installation.
What’s more, Calor will reward installers for every successful tank referral with either £250, or an equivalent value in reward points that can be used to purchase items including Calor products.
Homeowners with an old and inefficient oil boiler could be wasting £732 a year on fuel bills, so will no doubt wish to replace their boiler with something more energy efficient1.
Typically a new LPG boiler is cheaper than an oil one, so replacing an oil boiler with an energy efficient LPG boiler could save homeowners up to £1500 on the purchase price2.
Combine this with Calor’s free above ground tank installation – worth £10003 – and the savings gained by replacing an old oil heating system with Calor LPG really start to add up.
Alternatively, if homeowners prefer to have their LPG tank hidden from view, for an extra cost of £1000 Calor can bury it underground.
Installers are seen as a knowledgeable source of information by homeowners, so it will be an advantage for you to understand the large number of benefits that can be gained from selecting LPG as a fuel source for those in off-grid locations.
LPG provides homeowners with all the benefits of mains gas; instant heating and hot water, as well as a real, controllable flame for cooking and fires. Fuel theft is near impossible too, whether the LPG is stored above or underground.
It’s also a greener option, as LPG offers off-mains rural customers the lowest carbon emissions of all fossil fuels4. In addition, it doesn’t pose any ground or water pollution hazards and burns clean with virtually no soot.
Unlike oil tanks, which are the responsibility of the homeowner, Calor is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of its LPG tanks, and safety checks are done each time a delivery is made.
Calor has extensive gas storage facilities and the UK’s largest tanker fleet, offering a reliable service that gets gas to homeowners whenever they need it. Sophisticated ThinkTank® technology measures homeowners gas levels and automatically schedules a fuel delivery when required.
With Calor LPG, homeowners are also able to fix their fuel price for up to 12 months, ensuring they get the best value for money from their energy supply. If homeowners are already using LPG, switching to Calor means they will receive £150 free gas and benefit from the fixed price for 12 months too.
