Running gas bottles is Oh.. So... Cheap, when compared with electricity or mains gas. In fact, our mains gas standing charge, without using any gas at all, was more than out total gas bill is now - lol.
I guess you need to be a more serious user, to reap the benefit of mains gas

Be surprised just how many consumers have absolutely no idea what their electricity bill even means let alone able to interpret what they are paying for!Running gas bottles is Oh.. So...

Just fuck off you bigoted old twit.
Back on topic.
Passed by m10 and diverted away from the kids to see what they had. Robinhood was keenly priced. Do we know anything about their gas stuff?
I bought one of their waste disposals after an Insinkerator failed again. It was 1\2 the price and so far has lived as long as the proper one.

You don't know very much about anything do you - good that you seek help you will need a lot of it!

Priceless! - It's Christmas so I will just depart and leave you to your narrow little world.

Don't just consider that Daves advice is only applicable to this thread. You should consider it relevent to the whole of KB.

I'm single occupier of 3 bedroom house with gas for hot water. Now winter is gone and im not running the heat pump or cooking roasts as often my power bill is around the $100 mark per month as opposed to 200ish.If you have electricity connected you pay copper connection and carriage fees whether you use any power or not.
Every unit of electricity that you use then becomes more efficient from the point of view of carriage and connection cost.
When you instal and use other forms of energy (such as gas etc) the total process price increases - you have to take that in to account.
Better to instal further electrical appliances because the price of flexibility and independence might be more than you bargained for!
My line charges are more than the power I use now. I have 2 x 9kg gas bottles and fill one up about every 2 and half to three weeks at an average cost of under $30 as local Caltex has great loyalty scheme with Rockgas.
Will be cheaper even once I go to twin big bottles but need to sort outdoor entertainment area construction first and minor issues related to people installing shit in 70's and 80's when there were less rules and checks....
Had gas cooktop in Uk when on OE and loved it so that's coming at some stage. Mean to investigate UPS options to as just about everything needs electric to run the pilot light/start up.....
With contact so also get about $20 month off my petrol on car too

Your electrical connection "does work both ways" and you can dabble in generation to influence the cost but you have to weigh up the cost against all $ investment options.
NZ power companies are generally committed to one way traffic and resistance to grid connected alternative generation is still very high.

For what it's worth, and purely anecdotally (as it seems to go against everything else mentioned in here!), I put in a Parmco Gas Hob, Oven, Microwave, Rangehood and Dishwasher when I did the Kitchen just over 4 years ago, all have been great. Haven't had any issues.
YMMV

Hopefully soon as prices keep dropping on panels and control gear it will get to the point where you will go off grid and just generate your own power.Your electrical connection "does work both ways" and you can dabble in generation to influence the cost but you have to weigh up the cost against all $ investment options.

I think selling back to the grid is a false economy, youll still be paying a line charge to be connected to their grid and don't think youll get enough return to cover wear and tear on your own infrastructure. That's an extra discharge cycle and recharge everytime you feed back into the grid.
It remains to be seen if this will be mandatory as life support for the electric cars once they go mainstream as there is not enough generation at moment to meet the forecast demand....
