FAQs

If you’re new to oil-fired heating, you may be wondering how oil works and how it compares to other fuels? Over 1.5 million households in the UK and Ireland use oil. Oil customers find oil-fired central heating systems just as easy to use as mains gas. It is a clean fuel as most modern clean burning appliances have low CO2 emissions and high efficiency ratings. It is also more versatile than solid fuel and cheaper to run than electricity or LPG once installed (source OFTEC).

The minimum delivery we can make by law is 500 litres. However, there are overwhelming benefits of increasing the volume of your fuel including a cheaper price overall so you save money, less deliveries to see into your property and you order less frequently so no need to check your tank as often. Less tanker road miles is also greener and environmentally friendly.

Kerosene, also known as 28-second oil (or home heating oil), is produced after the distillation process of crude oil. Most domestic heating systems use kerosene because it provides a cleaner and more efficient burn for the home. Gas oil is mainly used as fuel for machinery.
