If you are planning a move to Cyprus, you will need to be aware of the gas situation. Currently in Cyprus, there is no piped gas supply. Appliances in households are currently run from gas canisters, which the owners purchase as needed.

If you end up having to use bottled gas to run your home you will have to ensure that you have a big supply stored up, as gas has the habit of running out at the most inappropriate of time, like mid way through a shower!

Safety is also a big issue when it comes to the use of gas bottles. Safety precautions should be taken very seriously to avoid any potential dangers. In particular, the ventilation of the room in which the bottles are kept is paramount. Never have an open flame, even a lighter, near the gas canisters, and get your gas system checked regularly by a professional.

Leaking gas bottles can give off fumes which are harmful and potentially deadly if inhaled. They can also explode if not given enough ventilation.
