Heating options for park homes and lodges
Park homes and holiday lodges are usually built off mains gas, so heating typically runs on LPG or oil, and the compact internal layout leaves less room for a boiler cupboard than a standard house. Both factors are considered together when choosing an appliance.
A park home or lodge explained in plain terms
A compact, wall-hung combi or a small system boiler fits the space constraints of most park homes better than larger traditional appliances, and appliance choice needs to suit the specific fuel already supplied to the plot. Where LPG is supplied by a bulk tank or cylinders, the boiler and its controls need to be compatible with that supply pressure and configuration, which differs from mains gas.
Scope of work
- Domestic boiler installation
- Boiler servicing
- Boiler maintenance and repair
Key points on a park home or lodge
- Most park homes run on LPG or oil rather than mains gas
- Compact appliance footprints suit the smaller cupboard spaces typical here
- LPG boilers need appliances and settings matched to the correct supply
- External tank siting distances apply to both oil and bulk LPG
- Park site rules may add their own requirements alongside safety regulations
Questions we get asked
- Can a park home have a combi boiler?
- Often yes, if a compact model suits the available space and the fuel supply on site.
- Does the park operator need to approve heating changes?
- Many residential and holiday parks have their own site rules, so it is worth checking alongside the standard safety requirements.
