What Affects Your Heating Oil Usage?

  • Your Home

    The size of your property, its insulation and how efficiently it retains heat can all affect your fuel consumption.

  • Heating Habits

    How often you use your heating and the temperature you prefer can make a difference to your annual usage.

  • Your Boiler

    The age, condition and efficiency of your oil boiler can influence how much fuel it uses.

    Colder periods generally mean your heating system needs to work harder to keep your home comfortable.
