I have eight inches of oil in my tank, will I run out tonight as it’s very cold?

You should not run out of oil tonight. You may run out depending on the distance from your tank to your burner, the height differential from your tank to the burner and the capacity of your tank. You should contact your local depot for a delivery as quickly as possible.

What time will the driver be with me?

We contact the driver on your behalf and ask for an ETA.

How long is the hose?

The hose is 50 metres long.

I have got a delivery of oil and my heating will not come on, what can I do?

Your system may have an air lock which means that the system has to be bled.

Our drivers will endeavour to do this for you but he may not be able to re-start the heating system as there maybe another issue with your burner. We will then recommend a heating engineer to look at the system for you.

How much oil does a standard modern house use a year?

This depends on the efficiency of the boiler and whether it is serviced regularly, which is a must.

If you look after your boiler, it will use approximately €1,300 per year worth of oil.

This figure can be halved if you install a newer condensing boiler.

Can I spread my payments?

Yes, we have our Budget Payment Plan facility allows you to pay a set amount each month.

How can I tell how much oil is in my tank at any time?

The most accurate means of tracking your oil levels is with a dipstick which you dip into the tank.

Alternatively we have a full range a gauges at each of our depots and at our online store.
 

How long will 500 litres/1000 litres of oil last as I haven’t used oil before and I’m not sure how it works?

The answer is: every house is different!

Every house is of a different size, build quality, insulation quality and most important of all, air temperature preferences differ from one person to another.

However, we have found that our average customer, in an average, in an average year uses 1,300 litres of kerosene per year.

I am moving my tank. Can you pump out the oil that's in it?
