It is getting progressively colder outside, which means it’s time to place your winter heating oil order to make sure you’re ready for the chilly temperatures we can expect in the UK! To help you keep your house warm throughout the season without breaking the bank, we’ve listed our top tips for reducing your heating oil costs this winter.


Find an affordable heating oil supplier

The easiest way to cut your heating oil costs this season is to find a reliable supplier with affordable prices. Oil costs can fluctuate, but when you work with a firmly established supplier like Northern Oil, you have greater control over what you pay. This can help you heat your home without the added pressure of expensive heating oil deliveries!

To make sure you’re getting the best rates, compare the prices of at least three companies in your local area. This will give you an idea of the most reasonable heating oil costs and help you avoid companies with extortionate rates.


Order your heating oil in advance

Although reliable companies can help to keep oil prices stable, it’s always a good idea to mitigate the risk of forking out for rising oil costs by placing your order early. It’s unsurprising that as temperatures drop, the demand for heating oil rises - so you may expect to pay more in the middle of winter. Avoid this by placing your order as soon as possible.

Keep your home well-insulated

There’s nothing more frustrating than wasting the heating oil you’ve paid for by letting heat escape from your home. Insulate your property well to avoid this and prevent heat from escaping through gaps and holes in roofs, window panes, door frames and floorboards. This is a simple way to keep your home heated without using more oil!

Insulating your home is important all year round, but you’ll certainly notice the difference in your home heating oil bills throughout the winter. Repair any property damages that could be contributing to the chill in your home and layer up with curtains, rugs and blankets.
