Adjusting to your new house after a move can be stressful, especially when the property uses a different heating system that you’re not used to. Here we will answer some questions you may have about home heating oil to help you settle into your new home.
What is it?
Home heating oil, also known as burning oil, is the flammable liquid oil (such as kerosene) that burns inside your boiler to heat your home’s radiators or hot water. As an alternative to mains-supplied gas, home heating oil is stored in a fuel tank, usually located in the garden of the property, which feeds into to your boiler. There are different grade heating oils on the market for you to purchase, including premium grade oils that are more efficient, produce less emissions and cost less to maintain.
How much do I need?
This depends on the size of your fuel tank. Standard domestic fuel tanks can hold anywhere between 1000-2500 litres of heating oil, and it can often be cheaper to buy in bulk. You can order a minimum of 500 litres from us at a time.
How do I make sure I don’t run out?
