Why Moving House is the Perfect Time to Review Your LPG Setup
When you move, it’s an ideal chance to check:
- Whether your new home has LPG gas cylinders installed
- If you need new 45kg gas bottles delivered
- Which local suppliers service your suburb
- Whether your current pricing is competitive (well, the supplier that is already there)
- If you require a gas compliance certificate (common when reconnecting appliances or renting a property)
- If your regulator, pigtails, and changeover valve are up to date
- If it’s worth switching suppliers for better refill rates, rental fees, or delivery reliability
Most households simply accept whatever the previous owner used. We help you avoid getting stuck with higher costs than necessary.

What to review when you move into a house with LPG gas bottles
When you move into your new home, here’s a checklist to ensure the LPG setup is safe, efficient and cost-effective:
Helpful LPG Pages
1. Confirm LPG bottle installation
Check whether the previous owner installed the standard two-bottle 45 kg setup (common in Australian homes). A dual-bottle system means when one bottle empties you switch to the other via the automatic change-over valve and then reorder the empty one.
If you find only one bottle, or a smaller size, you may only be using 9kg sized bottles.
2. Inspect safety clearances and condition
The bottles must be correctly installed: upright, restrained, away from ignition sources, and the regulator and pigtails must be compliant. According to ELGAS, key clearances include 1 m from doors/windows, 0.5 m above, and for tanker-refill operations up to 3.5 m clearance from ignition sources. If the bottles look corroded, unlabeled, too close to the property, or lack a licensed gas fitter tag, have a professional inspect them before using.
3. Understand the total cost (bottle price + rental fee)
When comparing LPG gas suppliers, you need to look at both the price per bottle and the annual bottle rental fee.
When you’re comparing LPG suppliers, it’s not only the per-bottle cost that matters, there’s often a rental fee on each bottle. Promotional pricing may be available for new customers in some areas, while standard pricing can be higher depending on location and supplier.
In other words, when you’re moving house, you may be inheriting the previous owner’s supplier, and you should check whether you’re paying competitive rates.
4. Delivery / supply reliability matters
Price is one thing, however, if your new supplier cannot deliver quickly when you run low, or schedule times are inconvenient, you could end up switching out of convenience anyway.
When you’re moving, feel free to ask us: how often are deliveries made in your suburb? What happens if there’s a storm or access issue? What’s the expected wait time?
5. Consider your switching options
If the previous owner’s supplier is locked in or you’re unsure about pricing, remember that you can switch. Some LPG suppliers offer move-in or new-customer promotions, which may include discounted first refills or reduced rental fees. Availability varies by suburb.
We always check whether such promotions apply in your suburb, they can give you some extra savings just when you move in.
Make sure you check: will you need to return the existing bottles? Is there a termination fee? Are there specific move-in promotions (e.g., free rental for first year)?
Quick Cost Snapshot: What Does a 45kg Bottle Really Offer?
Why the Moving House Phase is ideal for Review
- You’re starting with a blank slate (or near blank), so you can choose your supplier rather than inherit one.
- You can inspect what’s already installed and decide whether upgrades or service changes are needed.
- You often have a little extra time (pre-move or immediately post-move) to coordinate delivery and installation because the home is still empty or in transition.
- Promotions are often available for new customers (ELGAS highlights first-time deals, Origin flags streamlined move-in processes).
If you're looking for more LPG Supplier information, feel free to ask us:
- What will my total cost be (bottle + rental) under standard and promotional pricing?
- Is the contract locked-in, or can I cancel/switch without penalty?
- Are the bottles provided brand new or existing? Are they inspected regularly?
- What’s your delivery schedule in my suburb and what happens if I run out?
- Will you inspect the installation/setup when you start service?
- How do you handle move-out if I leave the property in future

What is the average 45kg LPG bottle price?
Prices vary by state, city, region and supplier, but we’ll confirm the best available offer for your postcode.
You can read more on the average 45kg gas bottle price in Aussie here.
How long does it take to get new bottles delivered?
Most suppliers offer delivery within 1–5 business days, depending on run schedules. Many also offer a same-day delivery service
Do I need a gas compliance certificate when moving?
Sometimes, especially if appliances are being reconnected, upgraded, or if you’re renting the property. If you’re moving into a new property, there may already be one available. If not, we can point you to local gas-fitting services.
Can I switch LPG suppliers when I move house?
Yes. You don’t need to stay with the previous owner’s provider. There may be some gas left over, but don’t take too long to get an account sorted. The current gas provider will likely come over and grab their gas bottles. We recommend sorting it before you move in.
