LPG GAS

Macedon Gas supplies 210kg LPG cylinders and bulk LPG to larger homes, farms, commercial kitchens, hospitality venues and businesses across the Macedon Ranges, Sunbury, Melton and Melbourne's north-west. If your property uses more gas than a single 45kg bottle can keep up with, bulk supply is the practical next step.

Who Needs Bulk LPG?

A standard 45kg cylinder works well for most households running hot water and a cooktop. But some properties burn through gas faster — and swapping bottles every few weeks stops making sense. Bulk LPG and 210kg cylinders suit:

• Larger homes — properties running ducted heating, multiple bathrooms and gas cooking through a Macedon Ranges winter can use a 45kg bottle in under three weeks. A 210kg cylinder lasts considerably longer and reduces the number of deliveries you need.
• Farms and rural properties — acreage properties around Woodend, Romsey, Lancefield and Kyneton often have multiple buildings, workshops and hot water systems drawing from the same supply. Bulk LPG keeps everything running without constant bottle swaps.
• Commercial kitchens — restaurants, cafes and catering businesses across the Macedon Ranges and Melton that cook on gas all day need a larger, more reliable supply than 45kg cylinders can provide.
• Hospitality venues — pubs, function centres, wineries and accommodation providers with outdoor heating, cooking and hot water across multiple areas.
• Workshops and business premises — any site that uses LPG for heating, processes or equipment and needs consistent supply without downtime.
• Multi-appliance households — even a standard family home can benefit from bulk supply if you are running gas hot water, gas heating, a gas cooktop and a gas fireplace simultaneously.

210kg LPG Cylinders vs 45kg Bottles

The 210kg LPG cylinder holds roughly four-and-a-half times the gas of a 45kg bottle. For a property in the Macedon Ranges using LPG for hot water, heating and cooking, here is how the two compare in practical terms:

A 45kg bottle typically lasts 3 to 6 weeks when running hot water, heating and cooking. During a cold Macedon Ranges winter, some households go through a bottle every 2 to 3 weeks. That means frequent deliveries and the risk of running out between swaps.

A 210kg cylinder can last 3 to 5 months under the same usage pattern — sometimes longer in the warmer months. Fewer deliveries, less hassle, and a much bigger buffer before you run empty.

If you are currently going through a 45kg bottle every few weeks, or running two bottles on a changeover valve and still cutting it close, a 210kg setup is worth considering. Contact Macedon Gas and we will help you work out which option suits your property.

Common Bulk LPG Uses

Most of our bulk LPG customers across the Macedon Ranges use gas for more than one purpose. The most common setups include:

• Whole-of-home heating — ducted gas heating is one of the biggest gas consumers. Homes in Woodend, Macedon, Trentham and the higher parts of the ranges can run heating for six months of the year.
• Hot water for large households — families with two or more bathrooms, or properties with guest accommodation, draw heavily on gas hot water systems.
• Commercial cooking — restaurants and cafes in Kyneton, Gisborne, Melton and Sunbury that use gas ovens, grills and cooktops all day long.
• Outdoor and event heating — hospitality venues, wineries and function centres across the Macedon Ranges that run outdoor gas heaters through the cooler months.
• Farm operations — gas-powered equipment, workshop heating and hot water across multiple buildings on rural properties.
• Pool and spa heating — gas pool heaters on larger properties draw significant volumes of LPG, especially in spring and autumn.

How Bulk LPG Supply Works

Getting set up with bulk LPG from Macedon Gas is straightforward:

1. Get in touch — call us on 0477 807 297 or send us a message. Tell us about your property, what appliances you are running, and roughly how much gas you go through.
2. We assess and recommend — based on your usage and property layout, we will recommend the right cylinder size and setup. For most bulk customers, that means one or two 210kg cylinders with a changeover system.
3. Delivery and setup — we deliver the cylinders to your property and make sure everything is positioned correctly. You will need a licensed gasfitter to connect the supply to your appliances.
4. Ongoing refills — when your cylinder is getting low, call or message us and we schedule a refill on our next run through your area. Many of our bulk customers settle into a regular refill pattern so they never have to think about it.
