We are so pleased to have found this company. I phoned one day, got an appointment for the next day, and had everything on our list of problems repaired in the one visit. Greg, the plumber, was very efficient and I could have hugged him , with gratitude, as some of the problems had been going on for months. I hadn't realised that they do so much more than plumbing and heating and we'll definitely continue to use them in the future.

The company rang me back promptly, visited swiftly to provide a transparent price and fitted us in within a few days. Danny was incredibly friendly and helpful. This high quality of service is all too rare.

Used Dale Saunders a few times since moving to Bexhill - always absolutely fantastic. Easy to get someone in, work always to a high quality and feels a good value for the service you get. It’s the little things too, such as payment made so easy online and everything being made clear to someone who is not in the know when it comes to plumbing. Big thanks to the guys and girls at Dale Saunders.

Choosing Between Oil, LPG, and Gas Boilers for Your Home

When it comes to heating your home, choosing the right boiler system isn’t just about keeping warm — it’s about long-term efficiency, running costs, and suitability for your location. At Dale Saunders Limited, we install and maintain oil, LPG, and gas boilers across Hastings, Bexhill, Eastbourne and surrounding areas of East Sussex, helping homeowners make the right choice for their property. Choosing boilers is essential for ensuring comfort and efficiency.

Understanding the importance of Choosing boilers for your home can greatly affect your heating efficiency and comfort.

Here’s a practical guide to understanding the differences — and the pros and cons — of each system.


Gas Boilers: The Popular Choice

Gas boilers remain the most common choice for UK homes, especially in urban and suburban areas connected to the mains gas supply.

Pros:

  • Generally cheaper to run than oil or LPG

  • Lower carbon emissions compared to oil

  • Reliable and widely supported

  • Compatible with combi or system setups

Cons:

  • Not available in off-grid areas

  • Subject to fluctuations in national gas pricing

Best for: Homes connected to the gas grid wanting a reliable, cost-effective heating system.


Oil Boilers: Ideal for Rural Properties

If your property is in a rural location without access to mains gas, an oil-fired boiler is a dependable and powerful solution.

Pros:

  • Excellent heat output for larger homes

  • More control over fuel supplier and pricing

  • Modern oil boilers are highly efficient

Cons:

  • Higher COâ‚‚ emissions than gas or LPG

  • Requires an external storage tank

  • Prices can be volatile depending on global oil markets

Best for: Off-grid homes needing a high-capacity heating solution.


LPG Boilers: Flexible & Efficient

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) boilers offer many of the benefits of gas systems but use bottled or tanked gas instead of a mains connection.

Pros:

  • Cleaner burning than oil

  • Can be used in off-grid areas

  • Compact and space-saving boilers available

  • Less COâ‚‚ emissions than oil

Cons:

  • Requires regular tank refills

  • Typically more expensive than natural gas

  • Infrastructure (tank installation) can be a barrier

Best for: Rural or semi-rural homes seeking a balance between convenience and efficiency.
