Choosing to renovate a property in the countryside has a number of benefits, such as a picturesque location, sense of community, and a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle of the city.<\/p>\n
However, restoring a rural home does come with a number of additional considerations in comparison to renovating in an urban area. For example, if the house is not connected to mains gas, there are a range of fuel options you can consider for heating and hot water if your existing system requires an upgrade or if you want a more reliable or easier fuel source.<\/p>\n
Rural fuels<\/strong><\/p>\n If your property is not connected to mains gas it\u2019s likely you will rely on oil, electricity, solid fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). There are pros and cons to each of these fuels, but one stands out as being the easiest in terms of on-going maintenance and reliability of supply \u2013 and that\u2019s LPG.<\/p>\n Most LPG suppliers such as Calor<\/a> own the LPG storage tank, and for a small monthly charge they\u2019ll insure and maintain it too. This means you don\u2019t need to worry about its upkeep or paying for a replacement when required.<\/p>\n
