Is it worthwhile getting qualified in LPG?

In the UK, the gas grid network covers 84% of households. The remaining 16%, including about 2 million rural off-grid homes, rely on LPG as they do not have access to the main gas network. LPG serves as a clean, versatile, and efficient fuel alternative, making it a crucial element of the UK’s energy infrastructure. This ensures that these homes have access to gas and benefit from the advantages of gas-powered systems and technologies.
