L5 for me, have been using it for about 6 years. Thinking of fitting an immersion (2 kw) this year though.

immersion heaters all the way

so many grey areas with gas ( insurance wise ) and also the boilers as many dont have the correct CE certs thewy say they do

I was looking at hot water regulations that concern trades that need to transport gas in a vehicle. What I read, I think it was from the Calor Gas website, that the same regulations apply to trades such as ourselves and plumbers as do for those who transport gas for pleasure purposes, such as caravan owners.

Its once you get above a certain amount of gas transported that stricter regulations com win to force. And of course more dangerous gases.

This is what i found if you ask the insurance company direct questions they will not give a definative yes or no and would not commit anything to paper - so erring on the side of caution i id rather not use gas esp. as i employ

I don't know the ins and outs but things like turning the gas off when driving, isolating the cylinder, gas safe fitting, co2 possibilities, warning stickers, proper ventilation etc etc means I can't be arsed with it any more.
