It's hard to influence the heating oil prices set by suppliers. It is based on a number of worldwide and national factors such as; crude oil prices, the number of competing suppliers in each area, weather conditions and more.
What you can have more control over is the price you pay. Here's how you can save money on your heating bills.
Get your neighbours to order
It's no secret that oil delivery makes up part of the cost. The more litres we deliver to your area, the cheaper it
is for us which makes it cheaper for you. For this reason, we provide group savings to drop your price. We pass these additional savings back to you*
