Our friendly, knowledgeable team will listen and help you work out what your requirements are. Whether it’s Home Heating Oil, Kerosene, Oil Fired Fuel, Central Heating Oil, Burning Oil or Heating Oil, we will do all that we can to ensure you end up with the right amount, of the correct product.

The minimum order quantity is 500 litres and the average order is 1000 litres. The capacity of most domestic tanks ranges from 1200 litres to 2500 litres.

Whilst we advise you to - and we appreciate it if you could ensure that you order the correct amount, in such an event, any un-dispensed heating oil will be returned to us and refunded to you.

We offer a UK nationwide delivery service and can deliver heating oil to the furthest and remotest of locations.

The vast majority of fuel hoses will reach 150ft. (45.7m). Should your tank be further away or difficult to access, please state on the ‘Delivery Instructions’ when ordering. In most cases, we can ensure your heating oil is delivered successfully, without any problems.

Providing your tank is accessible AND unlocked, in the event that no one is present, we will go ahead and complete the delivery of your heating oil. We pride ourselves on our convenient and hassle-free delivery service.

The quantity of fuel delivered is metered and highly regulated by Trading Standards. When your heating oil or fuel is delivered, the fuel delivery receipt states the precise quantity of fuel dispensed. If no one is present, the driver will post the delivery note through the letterbox.

Yes. Once you have registered, we will deliver heating oil to alternative addresses of your choice.

Orders placed after 5pm will not be processed until the following working day. We count a working day as Monday to Friday with the exception of Bank Holidays. Heating oil is usually delivered within 5–7 working days however, this cannot always be guaranteed.

It is illegal to store oil incorrectly and UK guidelines and legislation must be adhered to. Further information can be found here.

Premium Heating Oil does two things. It maintains your boiler, ensuring it is always working in peak condition. The Thermal Stability Enhancer, which is responsible for reducing soot build up, ensures the fuel is delivered to the spray nozzle in optimum condition. This in turn, increases efficiency, making your boiler more economical to use.

The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) regulates the heating oil industry in the UK and Ireland. www.oftec.co.uk offers a wide range of information, including how to increase the proficiency of your home heating system.

All payments are processed and completed as soon as you have entered your details into our secure HSBC on-line payment system.

Regrettably, due to the fluctuation in price we are unable to offer credit facilities. All heating oil must be purchased prior to delivery.

Always! We keep our heating oil prices low, because of our buying power we can negotiate low prices. We do not have big overheads so you really do get the best deal.

Whilst the price of heating oil is governed by the price of crude oil, HomeFuels Direct strives to keep heating oil prices as stable and competitive as practicably possible. International politics, wars, bad weather, supply/demand issues, terrorism and many other factors can affect the price of crude oil.
