Unlike many other suppliers in England, Wales and Scotland, Rix Petroleum is an independent, family owned company with a rich heritage for developing loyal, trusted relationships with our customers. We make it our priority to provide a friendly, reliable, flexible and competitive service for all of our customers. Rix Petroleum has a number of depots located throughout the UK ensuring our staff have the local knowledge you need from your oil supplier.
At Rix, we care.
Over 1.5 million homes in the UK use oil for their home heating because it is safe, clean, and efficient. In 2010, 4 million tonnes of heating oil were sold, of which 2.5 million tonnes was for domestic heating. New A-rated oil-fuelled boilers can produce up to 97% efficiency, making oil a more economical fuel than others.
Domestic heating oil is traditionally cheaper than LPG, cleaner and easier to use than solid fuel. It’s also safe and extremely economical.
