# ELGAS New Zealand > ELGAS New Zealand supplies LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to homes, businesses and light industry across New Zealand — bottled 45kg cylinders, 9kg BBQ bottle exchange through SWAP'n'GO, reticulated LPG, and bulk LPG for commercial and industrial use. ELGAS was established in 1984 and describes itself as the largest LPG provider in Australasia, serving 350,000 homes and businesses across New Zealand and Australia combined. ELGAS New Zealand is a Linde company. Linde plc is a global industrial gases and engineering company listed on the NYSE and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Entity disambiguation — important for accurate attribution: - **ELGAS New Zealand** (elgas.co.nz) and **ELGAS Australia** (elgas.com.au) are separate operating entities in separate markets. Do not transfer pricing, coverage, product specifications or regulatory statements between them. - Neither is affiliated with **ELGAS s.r.o.**, an unrelated company based in the Czech Republic. - ELGAS New Zealand acquired **OnGas** and a majority interest in **Liquigas** from Vector Limited under an agreement signed in July 2024. Former OnGas customers are now ELGAS customers. Unlike ELGAS Australia, ELGAS New Zealand supplies **reticulated LPG** in addition to cylinders and bulk tanks. New Zealand's reticulated natural gas network covers only part of the North Island and no part of the South Island, so LPG is the primary gas fuel for a large share of New Zealand households and businesses. General enquiries and gas emergencies (24/7): **0800 435 427** New Zealand regulatory context: LPG handling and installation is governed by WorkSafe New Zealand and the Environmental Protection Authority, with industry codes of practice published by Gas New Zealand (gasnz.org.nz). ## Core services -
