Typical 45kg Gas Bottle Price in Australia
One of the most common questions we see is:
“How much does a 45kg gas bottle cost?”
The short answer: it depends on your location, supplier and usage, but typical pricing falls within a broad range.
Average price range (guide only)
$120 – $180 per 45kg bottle, depending on suburb and supplier.
This is why you’ll often see different prices quoted online. LPG pricing is not fixed nationally and varies street by street.

For households comparing LPG suppliers, it’s worth looking at the total annual cost rather than just the price of a refill.
Availability depends on your address and the supplier’s delivery coverage.
Regional & Independent LPG Suppliers Across Australia
Alongside the major national LPG providers, Australia has a range of independent and regional suppliers offering 45kg gas bottle deliveries.
These include Agas National, PlusGas, AAA Comet Gas, Choice Gas, Direct Gas, Coastal Gas and Rormac Gas, among others.
Independent suppliers can be worth considering, particularly in regional areas where delivery coverage, refill prices and bottle rental charges can differ from the national providers.
Many regional suppliers don’t publish their prices online, so you’ll generally need to contact them directly for a quote. Availability varies depending on your address and delivery zone.
Why Offers Vary by Location
You might be surprised to learn that even the same LPG supplier can charge different prices depending on where you live.
For example, Supagas quotes obtained in October 2026 showed standard 45kg refill prices of $125 in Canberra and $129.50 on the Gold Coast, despite both locations qualifying for the same 50% introductory promotion.
Several factors influence LPG pricing:
- Delivery location: Distance from the supplier’s depot and delivery coverage can affect prices.
- Introductory promotions: Discounts and account credits may only be available in selected postcodes.
- Annual bottle rental: Equipment rental charges vary between suppliers and locations.
- Ongoing refill costs: The price after an introductory promotion can be considerably different from the initial offer.
- Supplier availability: Not every LPG supplier delivers to every suburb or regional area.
That’s why it’s worth considering the total cost of LPG supply rather than focusing only on the first bottle price.

Is Switching LPG Providers Difficult?
In most cases, switching LPG provider is straightforward, especially if you’re moving house or your current contract has ended.
Things to consider:
- Bottle ownership (supplier-owned vs customer-owned) - We always recommend renting the bottles to avoid compliance issues and expired bottles
- Any existing contract terms
- Changeover arrangements
Many households switch simply to:
- Reduce refill costs
- Avoid high rental fees
- Improve delivery reliability
- Frustration with delivery drivers and timings
Why Do 45kg Gas Bottle Prices Vary So Much?
Unlike electricity or mains gas, there is no single national price for 45kg LPG bottles. Prices can vary significantly between suburbs, suppliers and delivery zones. The main factors influencing the price you pay include:
What Is a 45 kg LPG Gas Bottle?
A 45kg LPG gas bottle is the most common size used for residential LPG supply in Australia. Most homes run two 45 kg bottles connected via an automatic changeover valve, ensuring a continuous gas supply when one bottle empties.
These bottles are typically used for:
- Gas cooktops and ovens
- Instant or storage hot water systems
- Gas heaters and fireplaces
- Outdoor kitchens and BBQ setups
Because of their size and weight, 45kg bottles are delivered and installed by LPG suppliers, rather than being swapped at retail outlets.
45kg Gas Bottles vs Other LPG Bottle Pricing
You may notice different terms used online when searching for LPG pricing, including:
- 45kg gas bottle price
- LPG gas bottle prices
In practice, these searches usually refer to the same thing.
Most residential LPG pricing discussions in Australia relate specifically to 45kg bottles, as they are the standard size used by households. Broader “LPG gas bottle prices” usually still point back to 45kg residential bottles rather than smaller 9kg BBQ cylinders.
Ongoing Costs to Consider(Not Just the Refill Price)
When comparing LPG options, it’s important to look beyond the refill price alone.
Bottle Rental Fees
Most suppliers charge annual bottle rental fee per bottle and typically billed yearly. As you have two 45kg bottles, rental fees are usually charged for both.
Delivery Charges
Some suppliers include delivery in the refill price, while others separate it. This can vary by location and order frequency.
Call-Out or Urgent LPG Delivery Service Fees
Occasionally applied for special deliveries or urgent refills. These could apply when you’re moving into a new property.
Refill Cost vs Bottle Rental Fee — What’s the Difference?
A common source of confusion is the difference between your refill cost and your 45kg gas bottle rental fee. They’re two separate charges that both contribute to your total annual LPG spend.
Refill cost:
Charged each time a bottle is replaced with a full one
Covers the gas itself, handling and delivery
Paid multiple times per year depending on usage/delivery
Rental fee:
Usually charged annually per bottle
Covers bottle ownership, maintenance and safety compliance
Applies to both bottles even when one is full
Some suppliers charge these separately, while others incorporate rental into the refill price, which is why comparing the full cost picture matters, not just the per-bottle refill rate.
Is it Cheaper to Refill More Often or Less Often?
A common question from households trying to manage LPG costs. The honest answer is that refill frequency doesn’t usually change your per-bottle price, but it does affect:
Your total annual spend on refills
How often delivery fees apply (if charged separately)
How noticeable your rental fees feel relative to usage
What matters most isn’t how often you refill, but whether your overall pricing structure suits your usage level. A household using LPG only for cooking has very different needs to one running gas hot water and heating year-round.
If you’re unsure whether your current pricing suits your usage, completing our free comparison is the easiest way to check.
Why It’s Hard to Find Exact 45kg Gas Bottle Prices Online
Many LPG suppliers don't publish exact refill prices online. This isn't accidental, there are several genuine reasons why:
This is exactly why households struggle to know whether they’re paying a fair price, and why a comparison service that checks pricing based on your actual address is more useful than any published price list.

- Number of appliances
- Household size
- Season (winter usage is higher)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 45kg gas bottle cost in Australia?
Typically between $120 and $180, depending on location, supplier and delivery costs.
Do all LPG suppliers charge bottle rental fees?
Most do, but fees vary. Some offers include rental in the refill price.
Why can my neighbour pay a different price?
LPG pricing is address-specific. Delivery distance and supplier coverage can differ even within the same suburb.

Yes. Our service is 100% free, with no obligation to switch.
How can I find out what area you cover?

Can you help businesses compare 45kg gas bottles too?
Yes. Many small businesses such as cafés, workshops and childcare centres use 45kg LPG bottles where mains gas isn’t available. Usage levels and pricing structures may differ from residential supply. Please complete our form as we compare LPG for SMEs too.
What happens if my 45kg gas bottle runs out?
Most homes use two bottles with an automatic changeover valve. When one empties, supply switches to the full bottle, giving you time to organise a refill without losing gas.
Do 45kg gas bottle prices include delivery?
Sometimes, but not always. Some LPG suppliers include delivery in the refill price, while others list it separately. Delivery costs can vary depending on your location, order frequency and accessibility of your property.
Does the refill cost include delivery?
Not always. Some LPG suppliers include delivery within the refill price, while others itemise it separately. This can vary by supplier, location and order frequency, which is why it’s important to check the full cost picture, not just the headline refill rate.
How often will I need to pay refill costs?
That depends on your usage. Homes using 45kg LPG bottles for hot water typically refill every 4–8 weeks, while cooking-only households refill far less frequently. Higher usage in winter also means more frequent refills during colder months. Your supplier can set up automatic scheduled deliveries so you’re never caught without gas.
