Many people are unsure about the benefits which heating oil additives such as Eco-Heat can provide. We want to clear up a few misconceptions about what they do and discuss the potential benefits of their regular use. It is important to understand that additive use does not alter the chemical properties of the oil to generate more energy when it is burnt. Refined heating oil such as Kerosene is alr… Read more

jess Hi , I just had my boiler serviced and it's still smelling too strong and uses more oil than it should . Could somebody advice where's the problem ? Thank you
Ivan I would be very interested in saving some money by joining a large community group. I live in a semi-rural area some 10 miles from Belfast City.
The problems I foresee are somebody not paying their money on any given proposed purchase and everyone else having to wait on that person. Or as Joshua has eluded to; self-appointed do-gooders (or worse) siphoning off a percentage of the savings to local community organisations like churches which I particularly detest since the churches in my county have a poor history with the money-tree scams.
I'm unsure how they would do this though as surely there would be no money 'left-over' as each member should only be paying for their own set amount of oil?
Maybe someone who has been involved in a group can explain the process briefly for me and others.
Thanks,
Ivan
Willie Brilliant idea. Well done!!
Tatiana “How long will my heating oil last in 2013” ended up being a fantastic post
and thus I actually ended up being quite joyful to read the blog.
Thanks for the post,Terrell
Andrew Jordan - Just as regular servicing maximises the performance of your car and minimises the risk of breakdown, so it can keep your oil heating system operating at peak performance, reduce fuel bills and save on costly call out fees. Servicing work requires the use of combustion efficiency testing equipment so is best carried out by a skilled OFTEC registered technician. Service is normally required every year. Accurate system controls save money by reducing heat wastage. By reducing room temperature by 1°C, you can save up to 10% off your annual fuel bill?
