Households in rural areas of the UK are being advised to store heating oil in preparation for October to avoid price increases during the winter months. Rural properties often rely on heating oil as they are not connected to the main gas supply network. This oil is stored in dedicated tanks and used in central heating systems to provide warmth through radiators and underfloor heating.
Experts from Your NRG are urging rural homeowners to stock up on heating oil now to avoid higher costs that typically come with colder temperatures in October. September is highlighted as a favorable time to purchase heating oil before prices rise due to increased demand in the winter.
Your NRG recommends early ordering to secure lower rates, more delivery options, and to prevent shortages during peak demand periods. It also allows for better budgeting and the flexibility to top up later in the season if necessary. Before purchasing, it is advised to inspect the heating oil tank for leaks and ensure easy access for delivery vehicles.
Ordering in September also helps prevent the risk of running out of heating oil during freezing weather conditions, which can lead to delivery delays. Having a full tank at the beginning of the season ensures uninterrupted heating even in case of adverse weather affecting deliveries.
