WCF Fuels North West Guide To Home Heating Oil

Everything Heating Oil: Preparing Ahead 

Autumn is here, and the temperature is dropping, which means priorities for off-grid homes shift to keeping your family and home warm. If your home relies on heating oil, there’s no better time than now to get prepared before the real winter chill sets in. Whether you’re new to using home heating oil or simply refreshing your knowledge, this handy guide will give you the tips and confidence you need to stay warm and worry-free in the months ahead.

What is Home Heating Oil

In simple terms, home heating oil, which is sometimes referred to as kerosene, is a reliable fuel used to power oil-fired boilers, Agas, and range cookers. It’s especially popular in rural areas that aren’t connected to the mains gas network. Clean-burning and efficient, heating oil offers a practical, cost-effective way to keep your home warm, cosy, and running smoothly throughout the colder months.

Why Autumn Is the Smart Time to Refill

Topping up your heating oil in autumn is a simple way to stay one step ahead of winter. Ordering early comes with clear benefits:

• Better prices – With demand lower in early autumn, prices are often more competitive than in the peak winter months.
  
• Flexible delivery slots – Before the cold weather rush, schedules are easier to manage, meaning you get more choice and convenience.
  
• Less stress later on – No one wants the worry of running low when it’s icy outside.
  

If you’re unsure how much oil to order, don’t worry, our friendly team can help you check your tank size or estimate your usage from previous heating oil deliveries, so you’ll head into the colder months fully prepared.

How to Order Heating Oil

Ordering your heating oil couldn’t be simpler, and if you ever need a hand, we’re just a phone call away. Here’s how it works:

• Check your tank – Take a look at the gauge or use a dipstick to see how much oil you’ve got left.
  
• Decide on your order – At WCF Fuels North West, the minimum order is 500 litres, but ordering a larger amount can often reduce your price per litre.
  
• Choose your delivery option – From economy to standard or premium delivery, you can pick what best suits your timing and budget.
  
• Leave the rest to us – You don’t need to be at home. Just make sure your tank is accessible, unlocked, and that we have any special delivery instructions.
