Hi oloofa,

you will find all the information you need at :

Distribution points,prices and deposit. Make sure you get a receipt!

Also, every street is served by a delivery man. Ask your neighbours about the day he delivers.

Some stores also sell gas bottles.

It is getting cold now ! I always keep a spare full gas bottle to avoid being out of heat or cooking when one runs empty.

Cheers
Ricky

Cracks me up this. And so typical of what I've found here so far.

This is probably one of the most important services for a resident here, yet one of the companies doesn't even have a website (do they really think we want to look at photos of their lorries on facebook聽

) and the other displays delivery schedules that are over a year out of date.

Ho hum.

Part of the problem is that "everyone " knows when gas is delivered in their area

George. As far as I can work out (and as suggested in an earlier post) people just leave their empty cylinders outside their house on delivery day. My problem is that I live in apartment only accessible via an entryphone system. When I find out which day is delivery day, if I stick my apartment number on the cylinder, is the guy likely to call me to come down and pay him?

Ask your neighbours - what do they do?

Really mate. You gotta give me more credit than to assume I'm asking questions on the forum that I can get a quicker answer to by knocking next door. I have no neighbours. I'm first in聽

Okay. A little asking around and it seems that the lorry passes my place at 7.30am on Mondays. Everything happens so early in this country

The RRP for the 25 litre cylinder is shown on the Liquigas website as 聙36.60. However, I can't help thinking that nobody except the newbies (me

) pays this price. Can I ask how much some of you guys are paying.

fixed price - [edit well used to be fixed, now the authority sets a maximum each month - in reality the price is that or marginally lower, but everyone pays the same]

Gotcha. Must be the 12 Kilo Cylinder for 聙20.60 that I need then.

Roll on Monday. I've rarely been as cold as I've been in the last week

Yep, there used to be a big subsidy on gas and kerosene. Now its electricity that's subsidised.聽 Funny how things change.

If gas bottles are not supplied by landlords upon moving in to accommodation, does one have to pay a deposit on a 'new' cylinder to get started?
If so, how much?
Thanks.

there is usually a gas bottle supplied for the cooker - not sure about heaters - sometimes heaters are included and have the gas bottle - but there is a 25euro deposit on top of the bottled gas at 20.60e...make sure you get a receipt..they are legally obliged to give you one so that if and /or when you leave you can get the money back - but most people just sell them on.

I needed to find when gas bottles were delivered here and I emailed info@liquigasmalta.com who replied, probably within the hour, with the tel number of the local delivery man.

Their website also has prices, last updated April 2013 (聙17.90 recommended 12kg)

am sure if you ask nicely and your not far away they could and would probably deliver for you too.

i also thing frank and vicky shop on nahal also keep a few too

if its a real emergency the delivery man has astock in his lockup inthe village so if you get his number you can call him there to just take the money knock on the door.....

good luck
