Now that Autumn is here it’s getting chilly, and we are starting to switch our heating on more and more.
We recommend that you don’t delay ordering your winter fuel and plan ahead instead to avoid running dry, especially if we experience bad weather.
It’s sensible to fill your tank as early as you can so you can be prepared should the cold weather start sooner than anticipated. This will ensure you receive faster delivery times and often cheaper prices. Furthermore, you can avoid the winter rush leading up to Christmas and New Year.
Winter heating oil
Oil heating is a highly reliable way to heat your home but there are things you can do to prepare for winter months and beat the rush. Firstly, don’t leave it too late, check your tank in Autumn ensuring there are no cracks or signs of leakage, they could get worse as the weather gets colder and delay your delivery further. The final check is to determine the oil level in your tank then get in touch with us to place your order in plenty of time.
Taking these measures will ensure you have a cosy home all winter long.
How much oil do I need?
As we go into winter, especially as Christmas approaches it can be difficult to know how much oil to order. We suggest you think about the size of your home, and if you will have additional guests over the festive period as that can increase usage. Typically, home heating tanks range in size and every home is different but checking your tank gauge regularly will provide you with some idea of consumption so you know how much to order.
