Local heating oil companies

Posted in Oil on Tuesday June 2, 2009| Leave a Comment »

I am probably the only person to be ordering heating oil in this heatwave. After paying over the odds last time, I decided to shop around this time and thought I would leave a list of oil company numbers on the blog for anyone else who’d like to shop around now or when it gets cold again (tomorrow perhaps). Today, EMO and Stoddards were the cheapest and CPL and Halso the most expensive but I guess that changes each time you call.

Peak:
 01246 450 242
Halso: 01335 345 440
4 Fuels: 01538 266 272
Dove Fuels: 01543 670 677
Stoddards: 08005 426 455
AID: 08453 705 500
EMO: 0800 685 685
CPL: 0845 6021 106

Where do you buy your heating oil?

Posted in Oil, Services on Friday February 20, 2009| 19 Comments »

Just after filling my oil tank a while back, I had two very irritating conversations.  One with Nia, who said that her man in Leek charges 5p per litre less then Halso and Peak Oil.  And one with Jane B who said that, whenever they are quoted a price per litre by Halso or Peak Oil, they always haggle and get a reduction.  I felt I had paid over the odds.

So, please tell me – where do you get your oil?  Does anyone have a cheap(er) supplier?  Do you always shop around and, if so, who tends to be cheaper?  Do you always haggle and get the pence-per-litre price knocked down and, if so, by how much?  Who has had the price reduced by the most?  If you get a good price next time you buy, put it on the blog so we can all jump on the bandwagon and get hold of some cheaper oil.  This information would be useful for everyone in the village who heats their house and water with oil.
