Mooch Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 For Oil fired it's a toss up between Worcester and Grant for boilers. I've stuck with Worcester and not been disappointed and Which? agrees with that, too. LPG is expensive and you use more because it has a lower calorific value when you burn it - I'd say you are doing the right thing. I have a 220m2 house, warm water underfloor heating down stairs and rads upstairs and I get through approx 2000ltrs per year. I tend to get a quote from Boiler Juice on line then phone around locals to see how they compare. Locals usually just beat BJ so I use them.

Won't need to buy any more until something like next August..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKARM Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 To update the thread almost a year on, just had 1742 litres delivered which cost around £900. Not too bad for a years use, but I think my oil install is looking at a 6 year payback rather than 4. Nb: That's with the multifuel stove in the lounge acting as the primary source of heating for the whole house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Where are you buying your oil Russ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 A local firm, rang round a few before I committed.... I know I should use BoilerJuice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I used to recommend boilerjuice but I've just bought 1000 litres and did some shopping around and found that every other heating oil comparison site was cheaper. I then found a local company who were significantly cheaper again, so all I'd say is it's worth shopping around rather than just buying from one source. I saved about £75 on the order Vs boilerjuice and could have saved another £25 had we been willing to wait a couple of weeks for delivery.
