Kerosene.

Kerosene, also known as domestic oil, heating oil, 28 second oil, and fuel oil is used by millions of domestic properties around the world to heat their homes where there is no access to gas supply.

Made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons, heating oil is a yellow-brown liquid used to fuel household hot water boilers, central heating systems and heat storage stoves (Agas and other Range appliances).

Is this your first time ordering oil?

If your previous property did not use oil, ordering oil might seem a little confusing; to break it down here are the 3 pieces of information that you’ll need to arrange an oil order.

Identify what oil you need

Typically kerosene or a premium kerosene (this is usually recommended for oil fired stoves/cookers (Agas, Esse etc) as it contains additives that help it burn more cleanly and therefore more efficiently). If your boiler system isn’t labelled with the correct oil you can get a heating oil engineer to come out to your home.

Find out how big your tank is
On average most domestic tanks have a capacity of between 1000 and 1400 litres, however larger properties could have one up to 2500 litres. All recently manufactured oil tanks must state their approximate maximum capacity on the product label which is usually positioned on the front or side of the tank.

Give an approximate amount of fuel required
Most modern homes will have a gauge which will keep you right, otherwise, use a garden cane/dipstick to see how full your tank is and let us know - An oil tank should always be at least one-quarter full, as an empty tank can result in clogged filters and fuel lines
