Is your heating oil tank ready for winter? ๐ ๐ฅ
Heating oil prices have been high this year, and we know many of you have been holding off on ordering in the hope prices will drop. Youโre not alone: UKIFDA estimates heating oil sales are down 20โ30% since the spring.
The problem is that tank levels across the UK are now unusually low just as winter arrives. Colder weather means higher demand, and icy roads can make deliveries harder. If lots of people order at the last minute, wait times can stretch.
Our advice:
โ
Check your tank level regularly
โ
Aim to keep at least 500 litres in your tank, which lasts the average home just over 50 days
โ
Order in good time, and donโt wait until youโre running low
