Frequently Asked Questions

What is home heating oil?
Home heating oil is a liquid petroleum product refined from crude oil which has a low viscosity. It is this quality that makes it ideal for use as a domestic fuel. The use of domestic heating oil dates back to 1840s America when M.A. Fessler invented an oil burner to take advantage of the crude oil reserves being extracted in California. Later, he founded the company Fess System Co., which started the modern oil industry as we know it, creating and selling refined oil products to heat homes and power transport and industry. Learn more about domestic heating oil in our guide.
How can heating oil be used?

Heating oil is predominantly used with a heating oil boiler, which heats the radiators in your home. It can also be used with an oil-fired range cooker, such as an Aga or Rayburn.

It is illegal for heating oil to be used on public roads as red diesel and kerosene are subject to lower tax rates than diesel sold at petrol stations.

Why should I choose domestic heating oil?

Domestic heating oil has remained popular as a source of fuel ever since the 1840s due to the many benefits it offers:

Safe: Kerosene has a low risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and is viewed as one of the safest fuels you could have in your home. It’s also incredibly stable, making it safe to transport.

Efficient: Home oil is the most efficient form of fuel available. This is because it burns at such a high temperature that a lot of heat can be produced from burning a small volume. New A-rated oil-fuelled boilers can produce up to 97% efficiency, making oil a more economical fuel than others.

Affordable: Oil for the home is traditionally cheaper than LPG, and cleaner and easier to use than solid fuel.

Reliable: Home heating oil is chosen for its strong winter performance, making it a reliable option for heating homes, especially in the chillier seasons!

Which heating oil do I need?

There are two types of heating oils for homes: gas oil (aka 35-second oil) and kerosene (aka 28-second burning oil). Although kerosene is by far the most common form of heating oil, the type you require depends on the oil heating system installed in your home, so it is always important to consult the labels on your oil boiler or tank.

If you have the option of using either fuel type, kerosene is preferable, as it is cleaner and more economical. You can even buy premium kerosene, which contains additives that make it burn more efficiently.

Is heating oil referred to by other names?

Heating oil is also known as kerosene, home heating oil, burning oil, and 28-second burning oil.

How much heating oil do I need?

The average UK gas customer consumes approximately 14,000 kWh per year. This is equivalent to around 1,400 litres of heating oil. Calculate approximately how much domestic oil you’re using by following our step-by-step guide.

Most heating oil fuel tanks have a capacity of 1,000 to 2,500 litres — check the label if you aren’t sure of yours.

Filling your tank to capacity can be cheaper and more convenient, and helps prevent the build-up of harmful condensation in the summer. This will require a bigger financial outlay, but Rix offers an Easy Payment Plan that allows you to spread the cost across the year.

The minimum order for heating oil is 500 litres.

How can I make my heating oil last longer?

There are many changes you can make to try and make your heating oil go further, including:

  • using a premium heating oil
  • regularly servicing your oil boiler
  • upgrading your oil boiler
  • regularly servicing your oil tank
  • performing regular maintenance checks on your tank
  • turning down your thermostat
  • improving your home insulation

and more!

What kind of oil is used for heating homes?

Kerosene, paraffin or gas oil are used for domestic heating.

In the UK, most homes that have an oil-fired central heating system use kerosene. However, some older systems still use gas oil; a heavier, less efficient fuel also used to power tractors and agricultural machinery.

If your oil boiler is old, or you’re moving to a property with an old oil heating system, you may still need gas oil. Mainly, however, when we talk about heating oil, we’re referring to kerosene.

Paraffin is premium kerosene that burns even more cleanly than the standard product. Our brand of premium kerosene is called K+, and although it costs slightly more, it can help your boiler to run more efficiently and reduce service costs.

Do you supply heating oil fuel tanks?

Yes – we sell a range of home fuel tanks in a variety of shapes, colours and capacities across the UK. Our Please note this service is available in select locations only. Please speak to our team to find out more.
