Frequently asked questions about meter replacements:
A Calor Area Technical Supervisor will call to your area to assess the works required.
As scheduled a Calor Approved Contractor will come to your area and your property to remove your existing meter and replace it with the new meter.
While our contractor is replacing your meter we will need to temporarily turn off your gas supply.
Before turning off your gas supply and removing your existing meter our contractor will carry out a safety check of the complete installation.
Before your gas supply can be reinstated, your installation/appliances must pass a safety check, therefore it is essential that there is someone at the premises to allow us gain access.
We will also be carrying out a safety inspection as per I.S. 813 Annex E. This is an additional safety check we are providing free of charge to our customers to ensure that the internal pipe work and LPG appliances are operating in a safe manner.
You will receive a notification letter early in the year and a more detailed letter approximately 2 weeks before work is to commence.
Frequently asked questions related to installation of a replacement meter:
Yes, your gas supply will be temporarily turn off while your meter is being exchanged.
Although every effort will be made to ensure that interruption to your supply is kept to a minimum it is important to note that, your gas supply may be left off if we are unable to access your property to carry out all safety checks or we do gain access to the property but your installation fails the safety check.
Should your installation require repairs, you should engage a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) (ROI) or a Gas Safe Registered Installer (NI) to carry out any necessary works, as this is the responsibility of the home owner. To find a Registered Gas Installer or a Gas Safe Registered, please visit www.rgii.ie rel="noopener noreferrer" or www.gassaferegister.co.uk.
Please note, it is an offence for any person to carry out domestic gas works on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) appliances/installations unless they are a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) with the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGII) or www.gassaferegister.co.uk.
You will be required to contact the Calor Approved Contractor (Contractor) to arrange a suitable time. If the Contractor is no longer on site you are required to contact our Meter Replacement Team on ROI 01 450 5000 or NI 028 9045 5588. Only Calor authorised personnel can re-admit the gas supply to your installation.
Calor will be carrying out a safety inspection on the internal gas pipe work and PLG appliances in your house in compliance with I.S. 813 Annex E.
Calor Contracted Personnel will carry photo ID badges identifying them as Contractors for Calor.
*Calor shall not be responsible for the cost associated with the relocation of a meter where it has been made non-compliant as a result of the customer’s actions.
Calor will have supplied a common padlock key to the customer to allow access to valves and gauges. Our drivers will have the same key. Float gauge dials on tanks are about the size of a watch face and have graduated indications of contents. The dial face is protected by either a white Perspex cover which needs to be removed or a metallic hinged cover which can be lifted to view the gauge. On dials with percentages the tank will be full at approximately 85% as space is always left above the liquid for vapour to be drawn off.
For more information on how to check your tank gauge, see the following video:
For ROI go to the RGII Registered (ROI) website. For NI go to Gas Safe Registered (NI) website.
As Calor is the owner of its gas tank only Calor can supply gas to the tank.
If you are a “Top-Up” Customer:
You do not need to order gas.
Using innovative technology we monitor your usage and automatically arrange a delivery of gas when needed. We monitor your usage so there is nothing for you to do.
If you are a “Order Only” Customer:
There is a contents gauge on the top of the tank. Calor recommends that you order when the gauge reads 25%. Please make sure to check the contents of the tank regularly and keep in mind that you need to allow up to 5 working days for the tank to be filled.
The minimum amount of gas that we can deliver is 400 litres of gas.
Please allow a minimum of 5 working days for delivery after ordering.
The current balance can always be accessed online by visiting www.mycalorgas.com, where you can view and manage your account. Additionally, your most recent bill or statement will reflect the balance as of the statement date. For further assistance, please contact Calor in the Republic of Ireland by calling 01 450 5000 or in Northern Ireland on 028 9045 5588. Please have your account number readily available when calling.

A Direct Debit is simply an instruction from you to your bank or building society that authorises Calor to collect varying amounts from your account – but only if you've been given advance notice of the amounts and dates of collection. Once you have agreed those, the money is deducted automatically. In a nutshell, Direct Debit is the simplest and most convenient way for you to pay your Calor bills.
For ROI Customers, we can set up your Direct Debit, over the phone, online or submit a paper form. Please call us on 01 450 5000 to arrange.
For our NI Customers, we have to post you a form to complete. Please call us on 028 9045 5588 or email us at CreditControlTeamNI@calorgas.ie to arrange.
In ROI, Calor provides the flexibility of selecting a specific date between the 1st and 28th of the month for the monthly payment to be deducted via Direct Debit.
In NI, Calor customers have the option to choose between the 10th or 28th of the month for the monthly payment to be deducted via Direct Debit.
The EasiPay Payment Plan is designed to assist Domestic Customers in managing the cost of their annual gas supply and standing charges. This plan allows customers to set up a fixed monthly direct debit payment. For example, a customer may choose to pay €120 or £100 per month towards their Calor Gas bills. These payments will accumulate on the customer's account and be applied to the outstanding balance.
For customers who have been with us for at least 12 months, the EasiPay plan amount will be calculated based on an average of their usage over the past 12 months. New customers will be set at a minimum of €120 or £100, which will be reviewed annually. If a customer's EasiPay plan does not align with their consumption, we will contact them to request an adjustment to the monthly amount. Alternatively, customers can make a one-time payment to their account.
As your energy usage may fluctuate, we recommend that you periodically review your monthly EasiPay amount. If you find that an adjustment is necessary, kindly contact us at the provided phone numbers to make the appropriate changes. This will ensure that your account remains in in-line with the Calor EasiPay terms.
The EasiPay option is available to domestic customers only and is subject to terms and conditions. To learn more or to sign up for the EasiPay plan, customers can log onto www.mycalorgas.com or contact one of our Payment agents directly at 01 450 5000 (Republic of Ireland) or at 028 9045 5588 (Northern Ireland).
Twice yearly, we carry out a review of your account to ensure you are paying the correct monthly amount to cover your energy costs.
Please note: if your account is in credit, you may be entitled to a refund subject to a review of your account.
You can now pay your bill through our 24-hour automated phone payment system, by credit or debit card. Please have your account number and the card you wish to use for payment readily available.

We have designed our EasiPay Plan to help you to spread the cost of your peak fuel bills throughout the year. If you have already been a customer for 12 months, your EasiPay plan will be calculated based on an average of your usage over the 12 months. New customers are set at a minimum of €120 (for customers living in ROI) or £100 (for customers living in NI) and reviewed during the year. If your EasiPay payment plan is not in line with your consumption we will be in touch with you to request an increase in the monthly amount, or alternatively, you can make a payment to your account.
The EasiPay Payment option allows you to pay us for your full year’s supply of gas and standing charges in 12 equal monthly planned payments. We will continue to supply your gas on a regular basis. A fixed amount is processed by Direct Debit with flexible direct debit dates from the 1st to 28th day of each month for ROI customers, and on the 10th or 28th day of each month for NI customers.
All small butane and propane cylinders up to 13.15 Kg can be returned 1 for 1 without incurring a further Calor cylinder service charge except for Patio Gas cylinders. If you do not have an empty patio gas cylinder you will need to buy a service charge. Large cylinders (19 – 47 Kg) can be similarly returned. If you wish to return a small cylinder for a large one there is an additional cylinder service charge.
Yes. Provided that you can comply with the following:
1. Register the Cylinder Service Charge with Calor;
2. Return the cylinder to your local Calor retailer;
3. Complete and return the Cylinder Service Return Form to Calor.
We will refund you partially based on the cost of the service charge, which is worked out on a sliding scale. For a refund to be processed proof of purchase must be provided.
Within 1 year of purchase= 70% refund
Within 2 years of purchase = 60% refund
Within 3 years of purchase = 50% refund
Within 4 years of purchase = 40% refund
Within 5 years of purchase = 30% refund
Within 6 years of purchase = 20% refund

Yes. You must purchase a patio gas cylinder service charge if you do not have an empty patio gas cylinder available.
Please remember to retain proof of purchase should you wish to apply for a cylinder service charge refund in the future. Calor will refund customers partially based on the cost of the service charge, which is worked out on a sliding scale. Please register your cylinder here.
Yes you can. You will need to purchase an LPG appliance – this appliance will need to be installed by an RGII / Gas Safe installer.
For Republic of Ireland go to the Registered Gas Installers of Ireland website. For Northern Ireland go to Gas Safe Register website.
Calor owns the cylinder, you are buying a fill of gas. You will need to pay a cylinder service charge for the use of the Calor cylinder which covers the cost and maintenance of the Calor cylinder.
Calor request that you register this charge with Calor. You need to complete the Cylinder Service charge registration form with the receipt from the retailer and return them to Calor. Please register your cylinder here.
Assuming a cylinder passes the above tests, it is then sealed/clipped to indicate that it has been filled safely and has passed our safety and quality checks.
If a cylinder fails inspection at any point, it is set aside for further inspection. It is then either sent to our refurbishment plant or degassed and destroyed.
All Calor cylinders (old or otherwise) are visually inspected when they arrive to the plant. Damaged cylinders (gouges, dents, cuts, bent shrouds/bases) are selected for destruction and put to one side. These are inspected again by a trained operative. If they are deemed unusable then they are degassed and put beyond use (crushed). The waste metal is then sent to a recycling plant.
The size of your gas appliance and the level of heat will influence the length of time you will get. We have included some examples below to help give you an idea.
A 11kg patio gas cylinder will power a 13kw patio gas heater on full power for up to 11 hours. If the heater is on a reduced power you may get longer from your 11kg patio gas cylinder.
A 11kg patio gas cylinder will give you up to 16 hours of cooking on a standard 3 burner barbecue (10kW) on full power. On a reduced heat setting or using a small one burner BBQ (7Kw) the 11kg patio gas cylinder can give you up to 22 hours cooking time.
Depending on the appliance in question the regulator will be set for either Propane or Butane LPG. If there is no regulator fitted to your appliance, please refer to the manufacturer’s guide. This should include which type of gas is to be used with the appliance.
A full range of available regulators is available in the Toolbox section of the SHOP menu
