Upington notes on gas appliances & installation
Guest houses along the river in Upington and Keimoes fit tankless geysers on shaded outside walls, and the installer issues a CoC once the line is tested. Gas braais and outdoor kitchens are a common request in Louisvale and on river plots. Winter nights are cold in the desert, so heaters sell in Paballelo in June and July, and a ventilated room is a must.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, one of the hottest towns in the country in summer and far from the main gas depots. The river is lined with vineyards, raisin and table grape farms from Kanoneiland to Kakamas and Keimoes, and farmhouses and staff housing use gas for cooking and hot water. Guest houses and river lodges serve travellers heading to the Kalahari parks. LPG reaches Upington by long road haul to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and farms along the river depend on delivery rounds. The heat is the main caution: keep cylinders shaded and upright, never in a closed vehicle, and check hoses that the sun has dried out.

- Farms and smallholdings: farmhouse living rooms converted from wood to gas in cold districts
