Managing your heating oil shouldn't have to mean regularly checking your tank, remembering when to place an order or worrying about running out.

That's where Connected can help.

Combining a Smart Monitor, automatic oil deliveries, monthly payments, and our BoilerJuice App, Connected is designed to make managing your heating oil simpler and give you greater peace of mind.

If you're considering making the switch, here are six reasons to choose Connected – plus three things to consider before you sign up.


6 reasons to choose Connected

  • 1. Take the hassle out of heating oil 

    With Connected, you don't have to remember when it's time to order your next delivery.

    Your Smart Monitor keeps track of your oil level, letting us know when you need more. We can arrange your delivery automatically and at the best available price.

    That means less time checking your tank and one less household job to remember.

  • 2. Make budgeting easier with monthly payments

    Heating oil costs can vary throughout the year, and paying for a larger delivery in one go isn't always convenient.

    Connected allows you to spread the cost of your annual usage with manageable monthly payments, making it easier to budget for heating your home and helping to avoid unexpected larger bills. 

  • 3. Get more from our smartest app yet

    Our BoilerJuice App has been built from the ground up to give you more insights into greater control over your heating oil.

    With useful information available from your phone, managing your heating oil becomes a whole lot simpler.

  • 4. Keep track of your oil usage 

    Want to know how much heating oil you're using?

    The BoilerJuice App allows you to keep an eye on your estimated tank level and monthly oil usage, helping you better understand your household's consumption throughout the year.

  • 5. Never run out of oil again

    Running out of heating oil is something no household wants to deal with - especially when temperatures drop. An empty tank can also increase the risk of boiler problems and may leave you facing the inconvenience and potential cost of getting your heating system up and running again.

  • 6. Stay in control

    Connected might take care of ordering for you, but that doesn't mean you lose control.

    If you decide you'd rather manage your orders yourself, you can pause auto-ordering at any time. You get the convenience of automatic deliveries with the flexibility to take control whenever you want.

3 things to consider before choosing Connected

Connected comes with plenty of benefits, but there are a few things worth considering before deciding if it's the right option for you.

  • 1. You'll have to say goodbye to your trusty dipstick

    You know the routine. Find the dipstick, head outside, open the tank and try to work out exactly how much oil you've got left.

    With our Smart Monitor keeping an eye on your oil level for you, those trips to the tank could become a thing of the past.

    So, if you've grown particularly attached to that trusty bit of bamboo, we're sorry. It might finally be time for retirement.

  • 2. You'll need to find another excuse to go outside in the cold

    There's nothing quite like stepping outside on a freezing winter morning to check how much heating oil you have left.

    With Connected, you can check your estimated tank level without making the trip outside, and with automatic deliveries, you don't need to keep checking whether it's time to order either.

    So, if standing next to the oil tank was your favourite way to cool off during winter, Connected might not be for you.

  • 3. You might be that person at the pub

    You know the one. Phone out, app open, showing everyone the latest stats.

    With the BoilerJuice App making it easy to keep an eye on your tank level and oil usage, you might find yourself taking a few screenshots - or even proudly showing your friends and family how much oil you've used this month.

    If it sounds like you, don't say we didn't warn you.

Is Connected right for you?

If you're particularly fond of your dipstick or enjoy a chilly trip to the oil tank, you might want to stick with the old-fashioned way.

For everyone else, Connected offers a simpler way to manage your heating oil. From automatic deliveries and monthly payments to monitoring your usage from your phone, it takes care of the things you'd rather not have to think about.

Ready to retire the dipstick? Find out more about Connected and see if it's right for your home.
