Calor Gas is a brand of bottled butane and propane which is available in Britain and Ireland. It comes in cylinders, which have a special gas regulator. Calor was formed in 1935. Calor is the UK's leading supplier of Liquefied petroleum gas . It is currently servicing around 4 million homes and businesses, supplying LPG to power gas appliances from central heating and hot water, to cookers, fires and barbecues. The company predominantly supplies LPG to homes in rural areas where there is no mains gas supply. In the United Kingdom, Calor is part of the SHV Gas Group, a private Dutch company.... Calor originally dealt only with cooking and heating appliances, but now covers a whole range of products ranging from barbecues to golf buggies. Calor provides LPG for three main areas: home, business, and automotive fuels. The company had its origins in the Modern Gas & Equipment Company Limited formed in 1935. In 1934, Ritchie Gill, a Cornishman who had been working in the US, returned to England. He spotted an opportunity for a product successfully used in America – Liquefied Petroleum Gas . Gill coined the name Calor Gas and in January 1935 he set up the Modern Gas & Equipment Co.
