Central heating - oil to LPG
Discussion
Anyone have any recommendations of companies to come in and look at converting my central heating from oil to LPG?
I live in a rural area with no gas supply to even the nearest village and I hate the look of the oil tank in the garden along with the space it takes. I've had quotes for an underground oil tank but I don't much like the prices I've had and I need a new boiler anyway...
recommendations would be appreciated.

I seem to have missed a crucial point being that underground LPG tanks seem alot cheaper for install.
Its the space the oil tank takes up and the fact I literally have no-where else for it.
Im currently spending around £2100 on a 2 bed house a year and Im ok with that to be honest but I've a worchester boiler thats literally rotten and alone thats £3000 for a replacement...
Is LPG really that expensive? how did people find the size of the boiler in comparison and how it keeps up with central heating/shower demands?

I'm fine with my heating bill currently, I've maybe exaggerated the cost a little looking back, this past year I've paid £1800 for oil and working out for the boilers used for electric but we do run the house WARM mind and it takes a good bit because its a 110yr old school masters house thats can be draughty as hell in very high winds even with full loft insulation and all new windows.
Main reason to change is literally the oil tank above ground.
Calors quote has came in at £1800 for the tank, and all external civils but I have to stick with them at a fixed price for 2 years at £0.41/ltr
that seems very reasonable??
My own boiler man whose Calor re-sale accredited is getting back to me with a quote for the boiler.
the third quote thats put the nail in the coffin for an underground oil tank alone (bearing in mind I still need a new oil combi boiler regardless if i stick with oil) is £6,400 + vat installed...
