Where to Refill Your LPG Cylinder in New Zealand | Gasmate LPG Range

While swap-a-bottle services have been around for a while, many people still prefer to refill their own LPG cylinders. Refilling keeps your Gasmate cylinder in circulation, is often more cost-effective, and lets you stick with the cylinder you know and trust.

What Sizes Can You Fill in NZ?

Small/portable bottles (2 – 9kg) – common for camping and BBQs.
Mid to large cylinder (18 – 27kg) – more durable, longer-lasting, used to power hot water infinity systems and other LPG appliances.
Larger home/industrial cylinders (45kg and above) – typically delivery-only, not walk-in refills.

Tips for Safe and Convenient Cylinder Refills

Know your cylinder: Check your Gasmate LPG cylinder size—3kg, 9kg, or 18kg—before heading to refill.

Inspect for safety: Look for dents, rust, or leaks, and make sure the valve is in good condition.

Plan ahead: Call your supplier to confirm hours and accepted cylinder sizes, especially for non-walk-in locations.

Transport safely: Always keep cylinders upright, secure, and away from heat sources.

Refill when needed: Keep an eye on your cylinder’s level so you’re never caught short—our popular 18kg cylinder gives plenty of cooking and heating power for longer periods.
