Tired of High Eskom Bills in Pretoria? Here's How Gas Can Save You Money

June 28, 2025 — Your geyser and stove are the biggest culprits. Gas heats on demand, cooks precisely and shrugs off load shedding.

← Back to Blog

Open any painful Eskom bill and two culprits dominate: the geyser and the stove. Both heat things — and both are jobs LP Gas does brilliantly, often for less over time.

The biggest electricity users

An electric geyser cycles all day to keep a tank hot, and electric plates stay on long after the pot boils. Switching these two loads to gas makes the biggest dent in most Pretoria households' bills.

Gas geysers: hot water on demand

  • On-demand heating — burns only when a tap opens, no standby losses.
  • Endless hot water — back-to-back showers without the tank running cold.
  • Load-shedding proof — hot showers even when the grid is down.

Gas cooking: instant and controllable

  • Instant heat — flame on, cook now; off means off.
  • Precise control — simmer to sear without electric lag.
  • Works in cuts — dinner stays on schedule through load shedding.

Switching is easy

Start with cooking on a 9kg or 19kg exchange cylinder — no rewiring, just a compliant hose, regulator and placement. Add a gas geyser via a certified installer (with COC) when ready. Shevic delivers the cylinders; you enjoy the savings.
