Calor Think Tank allows LPG tanks to re-order fuel automatically

(04/08/2006)

The Think Tank® is a new advanced wireless technology which allows Calor LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) tanks to think for themselves, so that Calor knows how much LPG remains in a tank and top-up deliveries can be arranged automatically.

A contents gauge is fitted to the top of the tank which regularly measures the level of gas within the tank. Also fitted to the tank is a fin-like transmitter unit that sends a signal to a dialer unit inside the home. This dialer unit automatically contacts Calor’s central computer to update Calor on the gas level in the tank. Basically, the system does all the work so you don’t ever have to worry about re-ordering your fuel.

Calor has designed the system to provide their customers who live in remote areas or who lead busy lives, with a time-saving, hassle-free service so they don’t get caught short.

If you’re thinking about switching your type of fuel, this technology is also great news as all new Calor Country Living LPG tank installations will have the system fitted as standard, subject to site survey.

The installation and telephone calls to Calor to relay the level of gas in the tank are free of charge. The existing standing charge paid by customers contributes towards the installation, maintenance and call costs of the system, as well as existing tank maintenance and the emergency services. The first 100 days of this standing charge are waived for all customers signing up to the system. The free installation of the equipment sets Calor’s offer apart from other alternative fuel providers.

Calor Country Living LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a clean and convenient fuel that can provide any home in a non-mains gas area with its own independent gas supply. The fuel can be used in the home to provide exactly the same level of comfort and versatility as mains gas for heating, real flame fires, hot water and cooking.
