Natural gas and LPG appliances also operate at different pressures, with natural gas pressure at 1.1 kPa and LPG at 2.75 kPa, respectively.
Finally, LPG has a higher energy content than natural gas, with 93.2MJ/m³ vs 38.7MJ/m³.

What Size LPG Gas Heaters Do I Need for My Home?
It is important to get the right size LPG gas heaters for your home. You want to select the ‘Goldilocks’ LPG gas heaters for sale that is just right for your needs.
What to Consider
If you buy too small a home LPG gas heater, it will not be able to adequately heat the intended area. Selecting an LPG gas heater for sale that is too large will cost you extra money and oversizing can be unsafe.
A number of things need to be considered when determining your home LPG gas heater sizing:
♦ The volume of the area to be heated including consideration of ceiling height.
♦ The climate zone that you live in.
♦ The physical features of your home including wall & ceiling insulation, window coverings and carpeting.
♦ The kW output of the LPG gas heater, not to be confused with the gas Mj input.
Heating Area Volume & Climate Zone
The required kW output required is primarily dependent upon the area to be heated and the climate zone in which you live. It is important that you pick the LPG gas heater for sale that has the required output.
(Please see climate zone map at bottom of page)
The following rough guide assumes your ceilings are no higher than 2.4M:
Very Cold Zone: 1kW output required for each 8.5m²
Cold Zone: 1 kW output required for each 10m²
Cool Zone: 1kW output required for each 13 m²
Mild Zone: 1kW output required for each 16m²
Adjustment Factors
The indicated heating areas would be adjusted down by 5% for each of the following conditions: house built on pillars (non-slab), no carpets on floors, no drapes on windows or a ceiling height exceeding 2.4m. You must select a LPG gas heater for sale that has the required adjusted output.
Deduct an additional 10% if the area does not have ceiling insulation.
Please note that this is only a guide and individual home designs and situations may vary.
Home LPG Gas Heater Sizing Example #1:
You live in the Cold Zone and you want to heat an area 5m X 10m, which equals 50m².
Because 1kW will heat 10m², you should need a LPG gas heater with a 5kW output.
Home LPG Gas Heater Sizing Example #2:
Same as the previous example but in this case your ceilings are over 2.4m and you have wood flooring instead of carpeting.
You would need to deduct 5% for each of these two items.
So, instead of 1 kW heating 10m², it would heat 9m² (10% total reduction).
This means you would need a LPG gas heater with 5.6 kW of output (50 ÷ 9).
Use kW not MJ
Megajoules per Hour (MJ/hr) ratings on appliances actually indicate the gas consumption of the appliance, not the LPG gas heaters output. Many LPG gas heaters for sale are advertised using MJ ratings. You need to enquire as to the kW heat output rating.
It is often expressed as just MJ.
Kilowatt (kW) is how LPG gas heaters output is measured.
Energy Efficiency Matters – Star Ratings
So, remember to use kW as a comparison and not MJ. The efficiency of a LPG gas heaters for sale, in converting gas energy to heat, is a key factor.
For example, 25MJ LPG gas heaters with a 5.8 Star rating have an output of 6.2kW.
25MJ LPG gas heaters with a 2.8 Star rating only has an output of 5.0kW.
As a result, in a Cold Zone climate, they would heat 62m² and 50m², respectively.
This means that the 5.8 Star LPG gas heaters will heat an area 24% larger while using the same amount of gas.
Please refer to the manufacturers’ specifications to determine the exact kW output for each LPG gas heater you are considering.
Minimum Room Sizing for LPG Gas Heaters
Some States specifiy the minimum room sizing (volume of room in M³) and minimum ventilation requirements for unflued gas heaters. Minimum room sizing also varies for LPG gas heaters for sale between thermostatically controlled and manually controlled heaters.
Portable gas heaters should not be used in bedrooms, bathrooms or hallways.
All installations must comply with Australian Standard AS5601 – Gas Installations.
Your gas fitter will be able to guide you on many of these points.
Manufacturer Sizing Charts
To make it even easier, most manufacturers have sizing charts, for their LPG gas heaters, based on climate zone maps.
Take the time to measure the area you wish to heat and use these charts and maps to get the correctly sized LPG gas heater.
It is always wise to follow the manufacturers’ advice.

How long will a gas bottle last using a home LPG gas heater?
That depends on the gas consumption rating of the LPG gas heater being used and the size of your home. Heater gas consumption is expressed in mega joules or MJ of energy.
One litre of LPG has approximately 25MJ of energy content. A 45kg gas bottle contains just a bit more than 88 litres or approximately 2200MJ of energy.
