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.
Is this your first time ordering oil?

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.

Want to avoid paying out for lump sum costs?
Paying for heating oil can for some people feel like a worry. If you don’t plan for it correctly the bill could come as a bit of surprise especially in the colder months around Christmas. This is why we offer three different payment options.

Time to replace your oil tank?
Oil tanks generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years, so if this is your forever home, it is likely that you’ll be looking for a replacement at some point.
