Oil fired central heating... huh?!

[Suzie and Faith]

Ok, so the new house had oil fired central heating. We've been told it comes 'half full' and that's ho we'd have to leave it when/if we leave there.

So is oil any more expensive than any other way?
Where do you get it from?
What do I do?

With oil you can keep an eye on how much you have.

We paid around 250 6 weeks ago for 500ltrs. And it lasts about 2 months, depends on time of year.

You can set a account up with a company, first lot you order you have to pay in full - then you can just set up a debit and pay so much a month.

We got a half fill of 600 litres a few weeks ago and was £250, and we never have more than 2 fills like this a year so we are paying a max of £500 ( depending on price at the time ) and not using more than 1 whole tank full a year ( we have a 1200 litre tank )
