Why Alectra Gas Is the Future of LP Gas Delivery in South Africa
Published 19 May 2025
LP gas delivery in South Africa is changing. Alectra Gas is leading that change with fast, reliable, transparent service across Pretoria. Here is our story and our promise.
The Problem with Traditional LP Gas Delivery
For years, getting LP gas delivered in Pretoria meant dealing with unpredictable wait times, opaque pricing, and unreliable service windows. Customers had no way to track their order, no guaranteed delivery time, and no assurance that the cylinder they received had been properly inspected.
Alectra Gas was founded in 2019 with a clear mandate: fix all of that. We set out to build a gas delivery service that is as reliable and transparent as ordering anything else online. Read more about how our LP gas delivery in Pretoria actually works.
What Makes Alectra Gas Different?
1. Same-day delivery, guaranteed.
Orders placed before 13:00 Monday to Saturday receive same-day delivery. We confirm your order, give you a delivery window, and our driver calls ahead. No vague "we'll be there sometime today" promises. Browse our 9kg, 19kg and 48kg cylinders to place an order.
2. Transparent, fixed pricing.
Our prices are published on our website. R295 for a 9kg exchange, R620 for 19kg, R1,550 for 48kg, plus a flat R50 delivery fee. No surprises, no hidden charges. See more in our guide to the price of a 9kg gas refill in 2025.
3. Safety-inspected cylinders.
Every cylinder in our fleet is pressure-tested before delivery. Our drivers conduct a point-of-delivery safety check of your connection, regulator, and hose. We will not leave a cylinder if we spot a safety issue.
4. Pretoria-focused expertise.
We are not a national chain trying to cover thousands of kilometres. We focus on Pretoria, which means our drivers know the suburbs, our delivery times are accurate, and we genuinely understand our customers' needs. Find out more about how our gas exchange works.

The Future: More Convenient, More Connected
LP gas delivery in South Africa is moving toward greater convenience and connectivity. Alectra Gas is committed to leading that evolution:
Easier ordering. Whether by phone, WhatsApp, or our website, we are making it simpler to order gas in the way that suits you.
Scheduled delivery. Set up a recurring monthly or bi-monthly delivery and never think about ordering again. Your gas arrives before you run out, automatically.
Commercial accounts. Businesses get dedicated account management, volume pricing, and priority delivery slots.
Safety innovation. We are continuously investing in cylinder inspection technology and driver training to raise the safety standard across every delivery.
LP gas is not going anywhere in South Africa. With load shedding, rising electricity prices, and the continued absence of natural gas pipeline infrastructure across most of the country, LP gas will remain a primary energy source for millions of South Africans for decades to come. Alectra Gas will be here to deliver it.
