Elgas foresees continuing demand for LPG as it has now become the fuel of choice in heating, cooking and other applications in homes and business establishments. LPG is also being preferred increasingly in farming, driving and for outdoor use.
Particularly in Australian homes, LPG finds applications in heating, cooking, spa and pool heating, LPG clothes driers, refrigeration and air conditioning. Users’ preference for LPG systems for ensuring a continuous flow of hot water with economy and convenience spells sound business prospects for Elgas.
Elgas’ hot water energy systems are compact, thereby leaving space for storage and laundry. The hot water systems provided by Elgas are installed to allow pay per use. The system also has the option of being fitted with temperature controllers and functionalities such as auto bath fill.
As reverse cycle air-conditioners installed in homes for the purpose of heating during winters do not result in effective heating due to the placement of the units high on walls, LPG heaters are said to be preferred for room heating. Elgas provides central heating using LPG, which functions through radiation by natural convection or fan-assisted. Elgas even provides the option of a ‘log effect’ heater for people addicted to log fires.
Elgas installs its heating systems at strategic locations on the walls or ceilings of homes. Some of its heating systems include a evaporative cooling or refrigerated unit, which are designed to provide climate control throughout the year.
