Why Now’s the Time to Top Up and Check Your Tank
Heating oil prices in the UK are now at their lowest October level in four years, offering a welcome opportunity for households to stock up before winter. According to BoilerJuice, average UK heating oil prices haven’t been this low since 2021, but with colder weather and rising demand just around the corner, this may not last for long.
Many UK homes are expected to switch on their heating, marking the start of the heating season. The Met Office forecasts a drop in temperatures, and with more boilers firing up across the country, demand for home heating oil is set to surge, which often leads to price increases (BoilerJuice).
This is why now is a smart time to order heating oil before the winter rush. Even topping up a smaller amount can help secure current prices and avoid potential price spikes in the coming weeks.
It’s also worth checking your heating oil storage tank before winter begins. Cracks, corrosion, or outdated installations can lead to leaks, contamination, or insurance issues, especially during colder months when tanks are under more strain.
