Using LPG at home

If you use LPG at home in Cyprus, you have two options for how your gas is supplied: steel cylinders or a bulk tank. For many households, cylinders are the default. They are familiar, straightforward to use and require no installation. But for homes with central heating, hot water systems or higher gas consumption, a bulk tank is usually the more practical and cost-effective choice.

This guide explains the difference between the two options and helps you decide which is right for your property.

What are LPG steel cylinders?

Intergaz steel cylinders are portable gas bottles available in 10kg, 15kg, 35kg and 50kg sizes, distributed through our authorised network across Cyprus. They are swapped when empty and require no fixed installation.

What is an LPG bulk tank?

An LPG bulk tank is a pressurised vessel installed on your property, above or below ground, and refilled by scheduled tanker deliveries. Intergaz manages the full process from installation through to ongoing supply, so you do not need to monitor stock or arrange collections. Bulk tanks are the most cost-effective solution for properties with higher consumption.

When cylinders are the right choice

• Lower consumption, cooking or occasional use only

• Smaller properties or apartments

• Rental properties where installation is not practical

• Properties where access for a tanker delivery is limited

When a bulk tank makes more sense

• Central heating or hot water systems with regular gas use

• Higher consumption across multiple appliances

• Larger homes where managing cylinder stock is inconvenient

• Homeowners who want easy delivery and refill options 

What switching to a bulk tank involves

Intergaz handles the complete process: site visit, tank sizing consultation, installation and ongoing scheduled deliveries. A standard above-ground residential installation is typically completed within a day. Our team manages all compliance and safety requirements as part of the service.
