Everyone like to save a bit of money. There are few better feelings than making a decent saving. Particularly on the essentials like home heating oil. We decided to put together a list of tips to save money this Winter.
- Insulation – Making sure you have adequate insulation in your home and/or improving the insulation can save you up 40% on your energy bill and will mean you won’t have to spend your money on home heating oil quite as often as you do.
- Turn your thermostat down! – This had been said in a really old blog (5 years ago!) and it still applies today and it will still apply 5 years from now. If you turn your thermostat down by 1 degree you could save yourself £60 a year! Not to be scoffed at! Especially with the rising prices of home heating oil!
- Buy your oil ahead of time – When the demand is low for home heating oil so are the prices. Stock up on your kerosene in the Summer/Early Autumn and you could save yourself a pretty penny. From here on out the prices are only going up unfortunately.
- Price comparison websites are also advocated by many money saving bloggers to save you money on your home heating oil. I also hear that www.valueoils.com are one of the best in the business for that. But I might be biased. (I’m not, we are!)
- Buy in bulk – Filling your tank will save you money in the long term especially if you buy at the right time!
- Be careful how you pay – using direct debit schemes may seem like a good idea at the time. But they can lock you into a contract which limits your ability to shop around and find a cheaper price for your home heating oil.
