We design and implement bulk and cylinder energy solutions for residential, industrial and commercial customers who want to enjoy everything that this exceptional energy source has to offer, but aren’t on the natural gas pipeline. With more than 70 years’ experience in the gas business, we pride ourselves on our unmatched expertise in the safe supply of butane and propane to our customers.
As the leading distributor of LPG on the island of Ireland, Calor can also offer the reassuring security of a fuel supply which doesn’t have to rely on Middle Eastern or Russian imports; 25% of our LPG is sourced from the Whitegate Refinery in Co. Cork, with the remainder sourced within Europe.
As befits a company who supplies one of the cleanest fossil fuels available to rural Ireland, Calor are fully committed to supporting best practice and sustainable development with regard to all environmental matters. We are constantly striving to offer a cleaner, more sustainable energy source for now and in the future.
