If you rely on LPG to keep your home warm, your kitchen cooking, or your business running smoothly, then you already know how important it is to have a supplier you can trust. But being an LPG gas suppliers is about a lot more than just dropping off a cylinder and driving off.

Behind every delivery is a whole lot of responsibility—and if your supplier’s not on the ball, it’s your home, business, or safety that could be put at risk.

So, what should an LPG gas supplier do? And why does it matter who you choose? Let’s break it down in plain terms.


👷‍♂️ It’s Not Just About Delivering Gas

Yes, delivery is a big part of the job—but a good LPG supplier does a lot more than that. Here's what they should be doing every time:

  • Making sure your gas setup is safe

  • Checking your cylinders for leaks or damage

  • Helping you choose the right size and type of bottle

  • Giving you clear info when something changes

  • Showing up when they say they will

This stuff might seem small—but it adds up to something big: peace of mind.


🔐 Safety First—Always

Gas is safe when it’s handled properly—but things can go wrong if corners are cut. That’s why safety isn’t something we treat lightly.

A responsible supplier will:

  • Check for leaks every time they deliver

  • Make sure cylinders are upright, secure, and in the right spot

  • Replace bottles that are out of date or damaged

  • Follow all the rules (and yes, there are quite a few of them)

We’ve heard the horror stories—like customers being left with leaky valves or bottles placed too close to a hot water system. That’s not just poor service—it’s dangerous.


🚛 Reliable Delivery Really Does Matter

Running out of gas in the middle of cooking dinner, or halfway through a busy lunch service? That’s the kind of headache no one needs.

When your supplier is reliable, you don’t have to worry about that. You should expect:

  • Regular delivery runs

  • Friendly reminders when your bottle’s due

  • Quick turnaround when you need a top-up

  • A local team who actually knows where your property is (and doesn’t need a GPS to find your gate)

At HotGas, we deliver to most areas on the Sunshine Coast 2–3 times a week. That means we can usually get to you quickly if you’re running low or have an urgent need.


🧯 Maintenance Isn’t Optional

This part’s easy to forget—but super important.

LPG cylinders need to be tested and restamped every 10 years. If your supplier’s not checking those dates (or worse, giving you out-of-date bottles), they’re putting you at risk.

A good supplier takes care of:

  • Routine testing and valve checks

  • Swapping out old or damaged cylinders

  • Making sure everything on your property stays up to code

You shouldn’t have to think about this stuff—and with the right supplier, you don’t have to.


👋 Real Support from Real People

Ever tried to call a gas company and ended up stuck in a phone queue for 45 minutes? We hear that complaint a lot from new customers.

Here’s the thing: you deserve to speak to someone who knows who you are, where you live, and what kind of setup you’ve got.

You shouldn’t need an account number just to get help. You should be able to call, get a friendly voice on the line, and have your issue sorted—fast.

That’s what we aim for, every time.


🏡 For Homeowners and Business Owners Alike

Whether you’re running a household or a commercial kitchen, the basics are the same: you need gas you can count on, delivered safely, with no runaround.

The right supplier will:

  • Get your deliveries right

  • Make sure your equipment is safe

  • Be easy to reach when you need help

  • Treat you like a person, not a number

And really, that’s what it comes down to—service. Good old-fashioned, reliable service that puts people first.


✅ Final Thoughts

When you’re using gas regularly, your supplier becomes part of your routine. And choosing the right one means fewer headaches, fewer safety concerns, and a lot more peace of mind.
