Due
to the high electricity costs in Aruba, most stoves operate
on propane gas.
ARUGAS NV is the sole gas provider on the island. Gas is delivered
to homes in standard (home-size) cylinders of 100L each. Usually
the initial installation includes two cylinders. Each gas cylinder
weighs approximately 45Kg and lasts between 3 and 4 months
depending on usage. The cost of refill is $22.47 per cylinder.
Industrial size cylinders of 200L are also available for homes
requiring gas for other appliances such as dryers and water
heaters.
