How to Reduce the Cost of Running an Oil Boiler
Anyone who has ever lived in a home with an oil boiler will be aware how difficult it can be to keep on top of how much it’s costing and finding the cheapest suppliers for replacement oil. Not unlike petrol and other oil products, heater oil prices are constantly changing and without careful planning it’s easy to get caught out if your tank starts getting empty when prices are high. Here are some tips to help you get the best prices for your heating oil:
Bulk buy
Like most things, the more oil you buy at once, the cheaper it will be. For this reason it’s best to plan ahead and buy enough to fill the tank at once rather than wait until you’ve almost run out then buy a little bit at a time. Joining forces with friends and neighbours to order heating oil as a group is a good way to get costs down even further, as you can get some great discounts for bulk orders and delivery costs will be much less too.
Buy your oil in the summer
The cost of oil changes for lots of different reasons, almost all of which we are unable to change. What we can do is to make sure we buy the majority of our oil during the summer, when prices are generally lower. Oil prices rise significantly during winter months when people use their heating more, so fill your tank during the summer and just top up if you need to in winter.
Make sure your boiler is looked after
Just like any other boiler, it’s important to have oil boilers serviced regularly. Boiler oil servicing should be carried out once a year to make sure it is running as efficiently as possible and that there are no potentially dangerous problems. Having your boiler checked regularly could save you money when it comes to repairs as there’s less chance of a surprise breakdown during the winter when it’s most needed.
Security
Strange though it may seem, theft of heater oil is on the rise. A oil tank for a boiler could have as much as £1000 worth of oil in it after a delivery, easy pickings for any opportunist thief. The majority of oil tanks have space to attach locks and you can buy security locks for the fill points too, so use them and you could save yourself hundreds and a lot of hassle too!
