Buying Heating Oil in Bulk

If you decide to buy a tank for your heating oil, you will be able to buy more in bulk, save money and minimise the number of oil deliveries you receive. This is particularly useful in harsh winter conditions when oil deliveries can be more hazardous. Having stocks also means that you’ll never run out of heating oil, even if it’s particularly cold and you have the heater running almost all the time.

And there you go – now you know how to order heating oil online! Order with Rix today for a cosy home without any fuss or hassle. For more information, please check out our FAQ page or get in touch with our friendly team who will be happy to help you find your ideal home heating solution.
