Jefferson Gas has reported a surge in demand for Calor Gas bottles, butane gas cylinders, portable gas heaters and boiling rings as households stock up on essential supplies following renewed Government advice on emergency preparedness.
The increase comes after the UK Government launched its Be Ready campaign on 22 October 2026, encouraging households to take simple steps to prepare for unexpected emergencies, severe weather and potential disruption to essential services.
The campaign advises households to consider how they would manage during interruptions to electricity, water and communications, including preparing for up to three days of disruption.
Increased Demand for Calor Gas Bottles and Butane Cylinders
Jefferson Gas has experienced growing interest in bottled butane, propane gas cylinders and gas tanks, as customers consider alternative heating and cooking arrangements.
Portable gas boiling rings have also attracted attention from customers looking for additional outdoor cooking options during emergencies or power cuts.
The company's range of bottled LPG products and accessories supports domestic, commercial and leisure customers across Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset.
Portable Calor Gas Heaters Proving Popular
Alongside bottled gas, Jefferson Gas has seen increased interest in its range of portable Calor Gas heaters.
One particularly popular product is the Lifestyle Mini Heatforce Portable Gas Heater, which offers a compact, mobile heating solution.
Other portable butane gas heaters have also attracted attention from households considering supplementary heating options during colder weather.
Customers should always use LPG heaters in accordance with the manufacturer's safety instructions, including ventilation requirements, and ensure that any appliance is suitable for its intended location. Outdoor gas cooking appliances must never be used indoors.
Supporting Households Preparing for Unexpected Disruptions
The Government's Be Ready campaign encourages households to make practical preparations, including keeping essential supplies available and considering how they would manage without everyday services.
Although the Government's advice does not specifically recommend purchasing gas heaters or cylinders, Jefferson Gas's recent increase in enquiries reflects growing customer interest in alternative heating and cooking equipment.
Jefferson Gas supplies Calor Gas bottles, propane and butane cylinders, portable gas heaters and LPG accessories to customers across Brighton, Sussex, Portsmouth, Hampshire, Bournemouth and Dorset.
Customers can explore the company's range of products and check availability at Jefferson Gas.
Further information about household emergency preparedness is available through the UK Government's Be Ready announcement.
