Off Grid Heating in Rural County Durham

Plenty of homes in rural County Durham and Northumberland are not connected to the mains gas grid. If that is you, the good news is you still have solid choices. Here is a straight talking guide to off grid heating and how to pick the right system.

Your main off grid heating options

• LPG, liquefied petroleum gas, which works much like mains gas and runs a familiar boiler from a tank on your property
• Oil, a long established choice in rural homes, again fed from a tank
• Electric, simple to install but usually more expensive to run
• Heat pumps, efficient but a bigger upfront job that needs the right property and proper assessment

Why many rural homes choose LPG

For a lot of off grid heating setups in the North East, LPG hits the sweet spot. It runs a modern condensing boiler that feels just like mains gas, the boilers are compact, and servicing is straightforward for a registered engineer.

Choosing the right system

The best off grid heating choice depends on your tank space, how the property is built, and how you use heat through the day.
