HOME HEATING OIL
Useful Information
Oil is the primary source of warmth for a proportion of the UK. It tends to be restricted to rural areas where pipelined heating (i.e., natural gas) is uneconomical. Despite tending to be more expensive than piped gas, it is generally considerably cheaper than bottled gas - those propane cylinders with large danger symbols on them.
How Much Oil Do I Have?
The first thing to know with your oil tank is how much is in it. These days
with bunded tanks this can be quite difficult, however there is
a simple solution which is fitted to most new tanks, a remote
sensor this sends details of the level of oil in your tank to a
receiver in the house. You should consider buying more oil when
the level on the gauge shows 2, this will ensure that you don't
run out
How Do I Get The Best Price?
The short answer is, you should naturally ring around to try and get the best price for your oil. In reality this is only part of the picture. A better way to save money is to track your usage and the domestic oil prices every couple of weeks. Pay attention to the news; is there cold weather on its way, or has an oil producing country announced supply problems? All these things can point to higher (or lower) prices in the months ahead, so with a bit of forecasting you can avoid having to do a big tank fill-up when the retail price is peaking.
More Information
One of the best ways to get more information is to visit the OFTEC website they are the we believe to be one of the best sources of information for oil fired appliances.
