The Benefits of Using a Domestic Oil Supplier in the Winter

October 17, 2024

 As the leaves begin to turn and the temperature drops, one thing's for certain: winter is on its way. For many households across Nottingham, this means relying on a dependable source of home heating oil to keep their homes warm and cosy throughout the colder months.

While there are various options for heating your home, using a domestic oil supplier offers several key benefits, especially compared to relying on the national grid. Here at Northern Oil, a trusted supplier of home heating oil and cooker fuel in Nottingham, we're passionate about helping our customers stay warm and comfortable all winter long.



Take a look at the benefits our services offer below.


 Reliability and Peace of Mind


Unlike homes connected to the national grid, you're not at the mercy of potential supply disruptions with home heating oil. At Northern Oil, we offer reliable deliveries, ensuring a consistent supply of fuel to keep your boiler running smoothly, even during peak winter demand. This translates to peace of mind, knowing you won't face unexpected heating outages when you need them most.


 Competitive Prices and Budgeting Options


While energy costs can fluctuate, Northern Oil strives to offer competitive home heating oil prices throughout the year. We also understand that budgeting for winter fuel costs is important - especially when you have other seasonal costs to bear in mind.


That's why we offer flexible payment options, including budget plans, to help you spread the cost of your heating oil throughout the year.


 Efficiency and Comfort


Modern oil-fired boilers are incredibly efficient, converting most of the fuel they burn into heat for your home. This translates to lower fuel consumption and potentially reduced running costs compared to some older heating systems. Additionally, oil-fired boilers offer excellent temperature control, allowing you to maintain a comfortable warmth throughout your home.


 Multi-Purpose Fuel: Heating and Cooking


Did you know that home heating oil can also be used as a reliable fuel source for your range cooker?


This is particularly beneficial for those in rural areas, who might not have access to a gas connection for cooking. We provide top-quality home heating oil that's perfectly suitable for both heating and cooking, ensuring a convenient and efficient fuel solution.

The UK typically sees spells of adverse weather, particularly during the winter months. From storms to snow and ice or even periods of heavy rainfall, all of these conditions can pose problems to heating oil deliveries. Regardless of whether you live in a rural or urban area, having home heating oil delivered during bad weather can be challenging. Fortunately, however, there are ways that you can prepare for such eventualities to ensure you have a consistent supply of heating oil to hand. How Does Bad Weather Impact Heating Oil Delivery?  Home heating oil deliveries can be impacted in multiple ways during times of extreme weather conditions: Driver challenges: Snow, heavy rainfall and high winds can all make it tough for drivers to safely deliver fuel. Hazards as a result of extreme weather, like fallen trees and flooding, can also lead to access difficulties. Higher fuel prices: Demands for heating oil tend to rapidly increase during the colder months, which can drive the price up. Supply chain interruptions: Poor weather conditions can also impact manufacturing and deliveries higher up the supply chain. For example, low temperatures can cause issues for oil refineries. How to Prepare for Bad Weather Whilst Living Off-Grid While you may well run into issues with having home heating oil delivered, especially if you live rurally, there are several ways that you can plan ahead to ensure that your supply doesn’t run out in the event of a delivery failure. Order Ahead of Winter Schedule your oil delivery for early autumn to avoid running out of fuel in the worst of the cold months. Not only will you save money by ordering early when demand isn’t as high, you’ll also guarantee yourself a cosy winter period. Install an Oil Monitor In order to avoid running out of oil unexpectedly and needing an emergency delivery during bad weather, consider having an oil level monitor installed. Monitors like the Magnus Monitor are simply attached to the top of your storage tank and monitored remotely - all at no extra cost to you. This allows you and your supplier to keep an eye on the amount of fuel left in your tank and schedule a delivery in good time. Trust Us as Your Domestic Oil Supplier Whether you require home or industrial heating oil, with Northern Oil you can rest assured that you’ll never have to worry about adverse weather impacting your supply. Our FuelSmart system really is the simplest, most reliable and hassle-free way to ensure that you always have plenty of heating oil in your tank. We remotely monitor your tank using the most up-to-date, cutting edge telemetric technology. Plus, with the use of smart logistics and buyer-grouping, you will benefit from significant savings on the price of your fuel. Best of all, this service comes at no extra cost to you!
