Mains gas hasn't reached this village, either. Yet I have gas heating and
cooking. Not from bottles, either.

Nope. It's delivered in a truck, to a 1200l tank just inside the back
gate.

Bog standard bulk LPG.

We have a gas-fired cooking hob. But it doesn't need a smartmeter!

Denise, I have told you before that to consider everyone else is just
like you, is a possibly dangerous mistake.

Got to use this a few years ago in A&E as the doctor stitched up a large
cut in my right forefinger. Except I said the guitar. The nurse must have
heard it before, because she started to giggle before the punch-line, but
the doctor fell for it hook, line & sinker.

Mine was singing opera and a major throat operation! Perhaps they had
heard it before and were just humouring a paying patient?

Almost worth the six stitches.

Calor ?

Not at the moment, but it was until recently. Now ExtraFuel, but there's
a whole raft of suppliers, some of whom are just resellers of others.

Do they predictively top it up ?

They could do, if I had a GSM sensor on the tank. Which would be a bit
pointless, since there's no GSM signal here. There's a gauge on the top,
which I check every now and then.

No. It's bulk, delivered into a fixed tank.

I am happy with an oil fired boiler and an induction hob. Almost
certainly safer, and in the case of the hob, easier to use. A spill can
be easily wiped up, and the digital control gives a precise heat input
setting.

I'm not sure I'd call 90 litres "bulk", nor would I call a 47kg cylinder
particularly "fixed".

Although it has not gone that way, we have recently been considering
several houses with oil heating. One thing I have never liked is the
sound of most oil burners. Not unbearable, but I'd rather something less
like a jet engine.

My one, whatever it is, is only noticeable on fire-up. After that, it's
just a quiet background noise. It's quite old, so I doubt that you
could buy it now.

Gas is linear but the nannies have got at the minimum setting by
fitting a stop, Easy to ignore of course.

Ours isn't a jet engine, just a low fan noise with a bit of roar.
It's louder than a gas combi but then it's a bit bigger than combi.
Floor standing cast iron jobbie with 12 gallons of water inside...

The other thing is smell any leak a fuel (during maintenance say) and
the smell will hang about for a few days. Also if it's on a balanced
flue venting at low level the flue gasses are smelly.

Ok negatives but a small price if the property is what you want where
you want it.

Ours is external, next to the utility room - the sound is barely noticeable.

I'm sure that location of the boiler and the flue make a huge
difference. Some of the properties seemed OK - but was not convinced by
the one in the kitchen - which was open to the living room.
