Calor Propane Price (1 Viewer)

[shawn&emma]

I must be getting a bit out of touch with things, went to change an empty 13Kg propane bottle yesterday to be asked for £37.99 in return. Well after having a bit of a paddy and then being convinced by Emma that my life wouldn't be worth living if she couldn't have hot water for a shower I went back in and paid.

Normally pay around £11 in Spain and even in Portugal where its dearer at around £22.

We've got an onboard tank but not always suitable to just drive of and fill up so use the bottle as a back up.

I remember when !!!! lol.

I agree Calor is expensive - just paid £25 for a lightweight bottle! I might have to consider refillables.

 

[Sheddy]

Currently €12.75 for a repsol propano here in Beni, it has gone up since last year when it was €11.80.
Cheers

Calor have put their prices up. I just bought two 19kg bottles they were £26 each last year £30 each this.

 

[shawn&emma]

What is confusing me is the Calor website says the price is £29.75 for the 13Kg propane, I paid £37.99

Didn’t know you could still get the lightweight ones, they were always more expensive than the standard ones.

@Pausim - I’m also surprised re the availability of the lightweight bottles as I understood they were being withdrawn. However in the last 3 months I have managed to get 2 bottles from my local Calor depot and a friend exchanged one at a C&CC site also.

Information taken from the caller website.
The 6kg CalorLite® gas bottle is no longer available to purchase online with limited stock available through our network of stockists. Use our online stockist finder, or call Calor Gas direct 0800 662 663 to find your local stockist. Alternatively the 6kg CalorLite can be freely exchanged for the standard 6kg cylinder which is widely available and may be purchased online.

 

[Pausim]

@Cal54 interesting, I have already converted to a single 13kg Alugas refillable rather than going back to the heavy ones.

It will be cheeky of them if they've overcharged you by 8-quid.

Good job you didn't want a Camping Gaz refill - the 907 (2.7Kg) is £34.99 . Calor and Camping Gaz should be tried for highway robbery

Cheers

[vwalan]

these days its better to use flogas . but can be cheaper still if ordered through gas deals direct. try a google . https://gasdeal.co.uk/product-category/gas-cylinders/
more handy if at home . but worth a try.

Yes went to exchange one of the 904s the other day. before I fell to the floor I'm sure she said £27.99, put it back in the van and we'll exchange it when we get back to Portugal, only 9.99 there.

It would take a really, really powerful, number crunching computer to calculate exactly how many hundreds and hundreds of euros I have saved myself by investing in my Gaslow system all those years ago.

(Not to mention the bottle filling adapter I use if I want to fill my Calor lite bottle).

How I hate the Calor Gas company and all those who sail in her...

[Dorwyn]

Do they do a smaller gas bottle like the small Calor in Spain? Larger than the Campinggaz 907, about the size of the French Le Cube?

What do you expect they are refilled Calor in the UK.

 

[Gaston aires]

We just paid £28 for a 13 kg. Expensive but lasts ages.

Did your heads swell with the heat over there?

 

[WillH]

Just swapped a 6kg bottle today, £21.99, same price I paid in June. Only use perhaps three bottles a year so price doesn't matter too much.

No but Emmas feet did.

 

[shawn&emma]

I emailed Calor about the price difference this morning and this is the reply I've just had back. Ive learnt my lesson for next time and will go to a depot instead of an agent.

Good Afternoon
Thank you for your email.
Our stockists can charge a different figure to what our standard price is as they purchase the products directly from Calor.
Kind regards

Just checked Go Outdoors, 13 kg £25.19.

I bought one elsewhere a year ago , £29 , need to put it down to experience I'm afraid.
Go back with a mask on and tell them you're going to do a Dick Turpin and rob them.
