Kerosene For Your Home
If you’re interested in Heating Oil, we’ll explain what it is, how to arrange your first delivery, and the best payment options for your fuel bills.
Heating Oil, or Kerosene, is a clean and efficient fuel used to heat homes that are not connected to the national gas grid in the UK. It works with an Oil Boiler to heat cold water. This hot water then travels through pipes, radiators, and taps to warm your home.
Since off-grid living means you need a different heating source, you’ll need a tank to store Heating Oil. OilMaxx provides all your heating needs in one place. No matter where you live, our friendly drivers will deliver Heating Oil and make sure you have a steady supply all year round.
We deliver kerosene in amounts starting from 500 litres. We also offer emergency Kerosene delivery to help you whenever you need it.
Types Of Heating Oil
To effectively heat your home, we offer two types of heating oil: high-quality standard kerosene and a cleaner-burning premium kerosene. The premium option is designed to enhance the efficiency of your boiler while reducing environmental impact. Please see the information below for further details.
Kerosene Heating Oil
Also known as 28-second or heating oil. It’s the most common type used in UK homes and lighter and cleaner than gas heating oil.
Premium Kerosene
A premium type of kerosene contains additives. These additives allow it to burn more cleanly, and therefore more efficiently.
What Is Kerosene Heating Oil?
Kerosene, often referred to as kero, burning oil, or 28-second oil, is the most widely utilised heating oil in residential settings across the United Kingdom.
This fuel is derived from the distillation of crude oil and is characterised by its ability to burn at significantly higher temperatures compared to standard home heating oil. Consequently, it is essential to use kerosene in furnaces specifically designed to accommodate such elevated temperatures. Kerosene is predominantly employed in home heating systems that utilise oil boilers and is also commonly used in AGA cookers.
One of the notable advantages of kerosene is its clean-burning properties, which contribute to a reduced risk of carbon monoxide production. Additionally, its low flash point enhances its safety for storage and handling, making it a reliable choice for heating applications.
Storage and Delivery Of Kerosene
The most secure method for storing heating oil is through the use of Bunded Heating Oil Tanks. These tanks feature an outer bund, providing dual containment, with the inner tank serving as the primary storage for the oil. The outer skin acts as a secondary safeguard against potential contamination, leaks, and the need for oil replacement.
We offer a diverse selection of high-quality Bunded Heating Oil Tanks. Should you require assistance with the installation of a new tank, our knowledgeable team is available to provide guidance and support. It is essential to adhere to government regulations, which state that residential properties may store up to 3,500 litres of fuel.
What’s the Cost of Heating Oil?
Oil prices experience frequent fluctuations, which can complicate efforts to identify the optimal times to secure lower prices and achieve the best deals. The unpredictability of oil prices often raises questions about the underlying causes. To better understand potential market trends and determine the appropriate timing for purchases, it is advantageous to analyze the various factors that influence oil prices. This analysis can provide valuable insights into future market movements.
