Fuel oil prices go up and down like a yo-yo. Last winter it went from
40p per litre to 80p in a matter of a few days. Why? Panic buying
because of the snow. Some people were getting deliveries of less than
100l to fill up their 2500l tanks, FFS!

Possibly snow related? We simply can't cope with it in the UK.
Laughable, I know.

Best time to buy fuel oil is when the sun's shining. Also, buy 1000l+ at
a time as you get a better price. Assuming, of course, your oil tank can
take that much and you bank balance can stand it.

I have a family of 4 we have a ground source heat pump and we pay £280 a quarter. £290 in winter. Thats with 1000w watts of reptile equipment on pulse stats 24 hours a day. A big old CRT television on most of the day. Washing machine and dishwasher on once a day and 1 laptop and 2 desktops on most of the day. Stand alone cheapy beko cooker for an hour at least a day.

The only problem is it costs about £3k to install bit once its done its great. We leave it on constantly and never run out of hot water and your heating doesn't really cost anything either.
