Donegal Oil

HOME HEATING

 

1. Check your stock of home heating oil – have you got any room for a summer top up? We won’t fill your fuel tank completely full during hot weather. Fuel must have room to expand.

2. Keep between fifteen and twenty inches of oil in the bottom of your tank – You will run the risk of disrupting the sediment that settles at the base of your tank if you refill it when it’s too low, which can clog up your supply pipe and lead to costly repairs.

3. Consider your future oil requirements now, and look to buy as much as possible during the summer months when prices are often lower than in winter, or contact us to spread the cost of your home heating oil throughout the year.

4. Place the biggest order of oil you can as generally the more you order the less you pay on a per-litre basis.

5. Donegal Oil Company only sells Topaz quality guaranteed Home Heating Oil. We deliver oil to almost all areas of County Donegal every day, giving you quality home heating oil at competitive prices.

6. If you don’t want to pay for your whole order in advance, look into cost-effective ways to help you to do this. Donegal Oil Company offer monthly payment schemes, and summer is the best time to start one off. Call us now on FREEPHONE 1800 740 740 to find out more about our easy payment scheme and spread the costs of your winter heating bill.

7. If you are struggling to pay for fuel, check that you are receiving all the help that you are entitled to. Your local Citizens’ Advice Centre – www.citizensadvice.ie, can help you with this.

8. Check that your oil tank is as secure as possible against oil theft. Measures you can take include installing a tank lock, an alarm that goes off if your tank leaks, CCTV and security lights. We would be delighted to advise you on how you can do this.

9. Make sure that your insurance policy covers your oil tank – most home insurance policies do not include this in the standard cover. You need to be covered for loss of fuel through theft and oil spills, and the environmental clean-up of your property and any adjacent land in the event of a leak.

10. Inspect your tank regularly and have it serviced annually by a qualified oil-fired heating engineer.

The Trade association for the Heating Oil Distribution Industry, The Federation of Petroleum Suppliers announced this week, that home heating oil is the cheapest form of energy, following the release of the most recent energy comparison report produced by Independent provider of comparative home heating costs, “Sutherland Tables”. The report has confirmed that home heating oil has been the cheapest fuel for home heating for the past 12 months.

Arthur McMahon, Managing Director of Donegal Oil Company commented: “The average annual heating costs for heating oil users has fallen every quarter for the last three years and since April 2015 the price of domestic heating oil has fallen by 35%.”

“The latest figures show that heating a typical three bedroom home on oil, using a condensing boiler is now just €861 per annum,  that’s nearly half the cost of the nearest alternative. If you use LPG the average cost is €2018 per annum, Electricity is €2048 per annum, Wood pellets costing €1345 per annum and air source heat pump radiators €1797 per annum.”

Donegal Oil Company have 3 depots in Letterkenny, Killybegs and Falcarragh and deliver oil to almost all areas of County Donegal every day. We only sell Topaz quality guaranteed Home Heating Oil ensuring quality as well as value for money.

They accept payment by debit/credit card as well as the usual methods of payment and they can also set up a Planned Payment Programme to help you spread the cost of Heating Oil over the whole year.

The team tactics from co-ordinators & support team for Team Donegal Oil, Arthur Mahon and Michael McGarvey, to cut down the splits, proved a master stroke from Donegal Town to the finish. The sense of jubilation, excitement and relief was palpable at the finishing ramp at the Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny, shortly after 7am on Saturday morning.
