Greetings from a warm but wet GA.
Can anyone tell me how to go about getting mains gas to our house. I know it's been installed down the street. Also any ideas on the cost and monthly standing charges. We have central heating and a gas fire, and would be so much easier.

If you speak to your administrator they will give you the contact number for the agent covering your area.
When I did this they told me that they were coming down our street in April. I'm so glad I didn't have any work done re installing central heating......the gas still isn't down our street
The guy who visited me from the gas company was very helpful and gave me full details of the tariffs.
His quote to supply and instal central heating was also the cheapest of three quotes I got, his name was Raul from gasNatural.
Regards all

As John says - you need to know if its installed down your street.
I'll be a bit controversial here - check and watch how they would plan to put it into your house. There has been LOTS of issues with Gas Natural disrupting pavements, digging up roads with poor repair and worst of all for many people, running ugly gas pipes over neighbours property to get to your house.
Check all that out first !

Hi
We live on the outside or our Urb, front onto/ pool urb, back on main public road, our Urb would not allow gas on site we got no info from admin!
it was ALL down to those on the outside road, but I must say best thing we have done heating on, water hot, cooker fine, and our friends who are still paying for Iberdrola and carrying bottles of gas but most wish that we could vote that our neighbors would forget the old curses of gas and progress, cost is better than Electric but not a lot
PM me for more info we are so happy with it!!!!!

Also not forgetting the damage done to a neighbouring property on Monte Y Mar (bursting water pipe) and denying all knowledge! To be honest, would prefer gas central heating to electric heating but feel that the property would benefit from cavity insulation etc first.

That would be tricky as, as far as I am aware, none of the properties on GA have that type of construction. Just double thickness honeycomb brick.

Hi, We have cavity Insulation here in Gran Alacant.......... Urb. Izarro
-
The masa flats and houses have insulation in the middle pre formed concrete structures so they are insulated although not to the uk standard
-
We (like many) have a Masa house and when we watched the build of neighbouring properties it appeared to be concrete on concrete frame followed by outer walls and spray concrete or stoned press. I honestly thought that they were not insulatated but stand corrected. Also we hear the neighbours so clear that at times it sounds like they are in our house, therefore, no evidence of insulation.

In the middle of the concrete panels i a thin layer of insulation it's no where near enough but it is there
-
Whats the thin layer of insulation made from.
-
It looks like extruded foam.

Freezing inside today, so I think fresh air :)

Yeah it's some sort of polystyrene or extruded foam don't think it's very effective and certainly not like they build in U.K. Now

Many thanks for all the replies.

We stopped coming over during the winter months because you could have weeks of cold days,nothing like real freezing temp but we found the house just didnt get warm and as soon as the heating was turned off it returned quickly to tomb status.Some days it was even warmer outside than in, we now go to tenerife where the temp is nice.
