Fast-growing towns outside the city: Rolleston and Lincoln in Selwyn, and Rangiora, Kaiapoi and the planned town of Pegasus in Waimakariri, with a high share of homes built in the last two decades. From a single cooktop swap to a whole house run for hot water, heating and an outdoor bayonet, we size the LPG supply in Selwyn and Waimakariri so every appliance gets the pressure it needs, even with everything on at once.
LPG across Selwyn and Waimakariri: Rolleston to Pegasus
Outside the city, gas means LPG in every town. In Selwyn, Rolleston and Lincoln are growing fast with new homes, and in Waimakariri, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Pegasus add a mix of new and older housing. With no piped network in these towns, everything we install runs from 45 kg bottles or a bulk tank sized to the appliances on site.
The towns differ in what they need. Rolleston and Lincoln builds often include gas from the start, so our work there is pre line pipe and appliance connections. Kaiapoi has many repaired and rebuilt homes after the 2010 earthquake, where we use flexible connections to cope with ground movement. Pegasus, built from 2006 around its lake, has newer homes where owners often add an outdoor point for entertaining.
Lifestyle blocks around these towns may use a bulk tank with a long pipe run to the house, and we size the pipe so pressure holds for every appliance. Canterbury winters are cold and gas use rises with heating and hot water demand, so automatic changeover regulators are standard on our bottle installs. Every job is leak tested and certified before we leave.
We also check that bottles at newer homes are not boxed in by later landscaping, because fences, hedges and decks often go in after the gas does and can end up too close to the bottles or block the delivery path. Moving bottles a few metres is usually a small job.
Local tip: For lifestyle blocks near Rolleston or Rangiora, ask about a bulk LPG tank if you run several gas appliances.
