How To Save Money On Your Home Heating Oil
Northern Oil Company • February 11, 2020
No matter how good our financial situation, we all like to know we’re getting good value for money.
Ensure heating your home isn’t costing you more money than it needs to with a few helpful tips.
Buy Oil Ahead Of Time
Knowing how much oil you have left in your tank means you can shop around ahead of time for the best prices. Keeping your eye on the market can help you to understand the best time to buy oil as prices tend to fluctuate over time.
Bulk Buys
Buying fuel oil in bulk means you will pay a lower price litre than if you were buying smaller quantities. Consider filling your tank all the way or contacting neighbours to group bulk buy your oil to help you all to receive better rates on your home heating.
Be Careful How You Pay
Companies who offer direct debit schemes can sometimes tie you into contracts for extended periods of time, which is okay if you would like consistent fuel deliveries at regular prices, but you could end up paying more in the long run without the ability to shop around.
Insulation
Obviously your heating system is going to be most effective when combined with good home insulation. Effective loft and wall insulation will stop you from reaching the on switch so often, meaning you won’t have to order more heating oil as often. Efficient insulation can save as much as 40% on your energy bill.
Insulation is all about keeping heat in, so during winter, try to keep doors closed and invest in draft excluders.
Turn Your Thermostat Down
Good home insulation will save you money and provide more effective heating methods, but consider turning the thermostat down one or two degrees. Although it might seem like such a small amount, over a one year period this can result in significant savings, and is much better for the environment too.
Service Your Boiler Regularly
To save money on heating oil, it helps to have a boiler that runs efficiently. Like any engine or appliance, ensure your boiler is serviced every 12 months. Even a small drop in performance can cost you when you are using it regularly in the winter period.
