Forget about ordering!

GasOwl gives you a live look into your gas bottles! Don’t be in the dark any longer about the gas level in your bottles and when to order. Set GasOwl to auto-reorder with your favourite gas supplier. Or choose the best deal available locally when GasOwl lets you know your bottles are nearly empty. No need to ever experience the inconvenience of running out.

Know about your gas energy usage and save!

Often gas is often taken away with the old bottle - you’re paying for gas you don’t use! Now you can have your replacements arrive on time, at empty, so you only pay for what you use. With GasOwl you can see how you’re using bottled gas by day, week, month.

 
 

Receive helpful alerts

GasOwl is always keeping an eye open for anything unusual - higher than normal usage or no usage. You’ll know when your gas is due to arrive (and when to tie up Spot) and when the bottles are removed and replaced.

High usage

No usage

Bottle due to be delivered

Bottle removed

New bottle arrived

Give a hoot!

Install GasOwl and do some good for the planet.

Gas supply companies know exactly when to deliver your replacement bottles, so there are no unnecessary visits from them to check your bottles. With GasOwl keeping watch over delivery timing, the delivery trucks are on the road less.

LPG gas is the cleanest fossil fuel there is and with gas you don’t have to waste space and energy storing hot water.

Less travel and less energy usage.

Now that's good for the planet!

 

 How does GasOwl work?

The Hardware

GasOwl hardware consists of two battery-powered GasScales that sit underneath your gas bottles, and a Communication Hub that sends data from your gas bottles to the GasOwl App. The Communication Hub is plugged in inside your home. The App steps you or your installer through the setup up process. It's easy!

The Software

The GasOwl App tells you everything you want to know about your gas usage - what you've got, how you're using it, how much you're using by weight, when the bottles are due and changed, and if there's any unusual usage. GasOwl will let you know when to order, or you can automate notifications directly to your favourite gas supplier.

 Frequently Asked Questions

I have GasScales to move to GasOwl, how do I do that?

If you are moving to GasOwl and you have GasScales already, get in touch with us from our Contact Us page.

Where will the GasOwl system work?

Anywhere in New Zealand, Australia and North America.

How is the GasOwl kit installed?

The GasOwl kit is installed by a Gasfitter or your gas Supplier. Your gas bottles will be removed from their fittings, the scales installed and the bottles returned to position. The surface beneath the scales must be hard and level.

How easy is it to get the bottles on the scales?

Super easy! The bottles simply roll on to the scales without any fuss. No lifting, nothing special is needed.

Do I still have to switch the valves over?

No. Open both tanks. Your gas appliances work better that way. The recommendation to close one and only use one at a time is to try to avoid running out, but that doesn't work well! Nearly every gas user has run-out stories - the shower three-days cold, the guests over to dinner and...

What are the scales made from, and where?

The scales are robust, made of stainless steel with an internal metal frame, some really clever electronics and a battery. Dreamed up, designed, tested, proven, safety certified, made and supported in New Zealand. The GasOwl system is a world first!

How long will the GasScales last?

The GasScales are robust and designed to last at least 25 years but will likely last longer. The battery is expected to last 10 years (replaceable by a Gasfitter) and there’s a 3 year warranty. There are no moving parts.

Is the GasOwl equipment safe around gas?

Yes. The equipment has all the required safety certifications for NZ and Australia and each set is labelled with its registered safety certification number.

What happens to my GasOwl kit if I sell my house?

Take the kit with you if you wish, or leave it in place as a selling point. You can sign off as the owner of the kit and the new owner can create an account and sign the kit on to their account.

I'm renting - what should I do to get a GasOwl set?

Ask your Landlord to purchase them so they stay with the house, and you can sign up and pay the monthly fees. It’s easy to sign off if you leave the rented property. Alternatively you could purchase your own kit and take it with you if you leave.

Can GasOwl be used for gases other than LPG?

Yes. They can be calibrated for any type of gas in bottles up to 200kg (including bottle weight). Please contact the GasOwl team to enquire about suitability.
