We heat our house in England with Calor LPG gas. This also provides hot water and fuel for a gas hob. This costs what we consider to be a king's ransom! As a matter of interest, how much is it in Corfu?
(Our system uses 2 x 47kg bottles together, total price £90.00.)

Hi Viv,
There's some info here.
Bottled Gas
I rang Rados in Sidari and he quoted me 70Euros for a 47kg bottle but that included the "metal" which was the hire of the bottle so you could ring direct and check the gas price.
ie
SIDARI-CORFU ( ÓÉÄÁÑÉ-ÊÅÑÊÕÑÁ )

I bought 2 x 10kg bottles last week, 17.50€ each in Acharavi.
Not taking into account the 'less per kg for larger quantities' factor, Viv's LPG costs 95p per kg, whilst mine is 1.75€ per kg, which on todays exchange rate works out at £1.55 per kg - ouch!
... oh, and I already had the bottles, so I wasn't paying for those...

Sounds like a wood burning stove with LPG back up would be cheaper maybe ? Logs are 100E per pick up truck load, don't know how long that would last but just the heat from the stove can be sufficient to warm a small house through.

Steve - a friend of mine with a little 45sqm house has a small somber (log burner). She likes to keep warm so the fire is lit normally from early afternoon onwards in winter. She uses just over a tonne of wood a year - cost around 90-100€. Added benefit that she can also boil her kettle or heat soup on the top

Is "soup on the top" a new flavour then Belinda ?

Hi Rocky,Bill and steve
We to have a Somber it heats the house really well (and we can cook or boil the kettle on top of it), we also designed the pipe to go through the bedroom and attached a Heat Exchanger onto it, so we also have a warm bedroom  . (free central heating)
Our cooker is completely Gas, this was quite hard to find in Corfu, most are Gas top and Electric oven.
So to "heat and cook" we pay as you go

I've found a brilliant way to keep warm - bought the kids a Wii fit for Christmas, but have discovered the delights of it myself! Brilliant as long as we don't have a power cut
I do agree Tully, a somber is an excellent way of keeping the house nice and warm, and routing the flue/pipe through other rooms distributes the heat very well, especially with a heat exchanger. We're waiting for a roof to be replaced before fitting a somber ourselves.
There are some wonderful crosses between a log fire and somber available these days that are specially designed to feed heat throughout the house, and they burn about half the amount of wood that a standard log fire will get through. The marble shop at Platonas stocks them.
Steve - yes mate, it goes well with "bread underneath" and "veg on the side".

We have three gas bottles ,one for a Calor Gas heater one for a gas BBQ both brought over from the UK,and the third one we use for a Delonghi cooker purchased at the DIY shop no problem at the Sidari Cross roads next to Diellas,we had the choice of all gas or gas hob and electric oven,we opted for the gas oven.
We buy our gas from the supermarket facing Diellas,hand in your gas bottle to the man outside who will give you a ticket,then pay for it at the till.
I think last year we paid 15 euros for the gas with our own bottle, the first time 21 euros that included the gas and the bottle .
