5 Best Propane Suppliers in Sydney (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Running out of gas mid-cook, or worse, mid-winter with a gas heater, is the moment most people in Sydney first go looking for a propane supplier. The names below have logged more than 500 Google reviews combined, and the gap between them is stark: the top two sit at 4.8 and 4.9 stars, while one long-running national supplier limps in at 3.3 with a wall of delivery complaints. That spread matters more here than almost anywhere else on this site.

Short answer: Local Gas Heater Services Sydney leads with 4.9 stars across 134 Google reviews, closely followed by the independent LPG specialist Gas Shed at 4.8 stars and 119 reviews. Both are praised for fast, reliable delivery and no lock-in fees. Elgas, one of the biggest names in Australian LPG, has the most reviews on this page at 191 but the lowest rating by a wide margin, at 3.3 stars, driven largely by delivery and billing complaints. Ask each supplier directly for current bottle-exchange and delivery pricing.

4.8119 Google reviews

Gas Shed is an independent LPG bottle supplier based in Homebush, delivering and exchanging gas bottles across Sydney and parts of the Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and Central Coast.

What people praise

  • No annual rental or delivery fees, repeatedly called out by reviewers as a reason to switch
  • Fast turnaround, with several reviewers reporting delivery within a couple of hours
  • Will deliver to properties with stairs, where some competitors reportedly wouldn't
  • Returns old cylinders as part of the service

Worth knowing

  • Independent operator with limited hours, mostly early morning windows on weekdays
  • Smaller footprint than the national chains, so confirm it covers your specific suburb

Our take: The biggest name and the widest coverage on this list, but its own reviewers report real problems with missed deliveries and account communication. If reliability matters more to you than brand size, the smaller independents above rate considerably higher.

4.340 Google reviews

BOC Gas & Gear in St Peters is part of the BOC and SPW Group, backed by Linde, and supplies industrial gases, welding gases and equipment, refrigeration gases, medical and hospitality gases, dry ice and LPG, alongside safety equipment and work clothing.

What people praise

  • Staff described as knowledgeable across a wide range of gas and equipment products
  • Helpful with specialty needs like dry ice and welding gas, not just LPG
  • Part of a large, established global group with consistent supply

Our take: A solid choice if you need industrial or specialty gas alongside LPG, such as welding or medical gas, but a residential-only customer will likely find a simpler fit with a dedicated LPG delivery service.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Sydney LPG and gas suppliers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from over a hundred reviewers carries more weight than a rating built on a smaller sample. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does LPG gas cost in Sydney? (2026)

LPG pricing in Sydney depends on bottle size, whether you’re on an exchange or refill model, and whether the supplier charges rental, delivery or emergency call-out fees on top of the gas itself. None of the suppliers on this page publish a fixed per-kilogram price, so ask directly and specifically confirm whether rental or delivery fees apply, since that’s the single biggest cost difference reviewers report between suppliers here.

Serving all of Sydney

These suppliers cover greater Sydney, from Homebush and St Peters to Blacktown, Camperdown and beyond, with some also reaching the Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and Central Coast. Searching for a propane or LPG supplier near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you choose a gas supplier

  • Are there annual rental, delivery, or emergency call-out fees on top of the gas price?
  • Is it a bottle exchange model, a refill model, or automatic tanker delivery?
  • What’s the typical delivery turnaround, and is same-day or next-day delivery available?
  • Will they deliver to properties with stairs or difficult access?
  • Is there a lock-in contract, and what does switching suppliers involve?
  • Do they handle both residential bottles and larger commercial or industrial supply if you need both?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these gas suppliers?

We started from every propane, LPG and gas supplier in Sydney with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Why does Elgas have so many more reviews but a lower rating than the others?

Elgas is one of the largest LPG suppliers in Australia by scale, which naturally produces more reviews over time. Its rating on this page, 3.3 stars, is well below the others listed here, and multiple recent reviewers describe missed deliveries and billing issues, so weigh its size against that pattern.

Do any of these suppliers charge rental or delivery fees?

Gas Shed specifically advertises no annual rent, service fees, delivery fees or emergency call-out fees. Always confirm current fee structures directly with each supplier before switching.

The bottom line

Local Gas Heater Services Sydney and Gas Shed are the two standout picks here on both rating and what reviewers say about actual delivery reliability. If you’re currently with a larger national supplier and frustrated with missed deliveries, it’s worth calling one of the smaller independents and asking what switching involves.
