Households in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood usually run a pair of 48 kg cylinders on delivery for a geyser and hob, while flats near the CBD keep to 9 kg exchanges.

Cooking, heating and working on gas in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and heavy industry town, and much of its gas goes to the smelters, bulk terminals, workshops and contractors around Alton and the harbour. Forklift cylinders, welding gas and cutting gas are in steady demand from engineering shops and shutdown crews. LPG reaches the town by road along the N2 and through the port area, and is sold by dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood. Homes cook and heat water with gas, and holiday houses near the lagoon run braais and patio heaters. The hot, humid coast is hard on steel: cylinders and cages rust, so keep them shaded and raised.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: factory canteens and workshops with cylinders swapped on a schedule
- Gas installers, plumbers and dealers: installers having cylinders delivered straight to a new client's site
