How to Order Home Heating Oil Online?

1. Choose your heating oil type

We supply two types of heating oil, standard kerosene and premium kerosene, to all of our customers in the UK. Before buying heating oil, you will need to choose which one you would like. Both of our kerosene products are safe, efficient and reliable.

2. Consider how much heating oil you need to order

To estimate how much oil you need, take a look at your tank fuel gauge or look through the sight tube. If your tank doesn’t have either, use a dip stick to estimate how much heating oil you need. Most home tanks hold between 1,000 and 2,500 litres and average orders are between 500 to 1,500 litres.

Heating Oil Orders FAQ

Our standard minimum order amount is 500 litres of heating oil. Under the Weights and Measures Act, our oil suppliers are unable to dispense quantities below this amount. Delivering lots of small quantities is also not very economical. Minimum orders help us to give you competitive heating oil prices and are better for the environment too.

Simply use the instant quote form to compare heating oil prices and deals from our suppliers. Our heating oil prices are updated regularly, so you always get a competitive price and a great deal.

If you need to completely fill up your tank, we will need an idea of how much oil you need. You would need to estimate this based on how much your tank can hold and how much you think is left in the tank.

Don’t worry if you overestimate your heating oil needs. You will only pay for the fuel delivered and we will refund you for fuel you didn’t need automatically.

Our product offer includes standard and premium kerosene. Premium kerosene is treated with a range of additives and offers the following benefits:

  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Less environmental impact
  • Reduces the formation of sludge
  • A cleaner tank
  • A more efficient heating system

We offer both kerosene products to give customers a real choice in their boiler operations.

Online heating oil orders do have to be paid for in full. You will only pay for the fuel we deliver so it doesn’t matter if you overestimate what you need when you order from us. Any overpayments are refunded automatically to your account. Please see our terms and conditions  for more information.
