Heating oil

[Judi_bk]

Frankie, who has computer problems just now, has been quoted between €1.20 and €1.40 a litre!!!!!  Looking back on here it was only 50c in Nov 2020

We need to get some soon, we are not using much at the moment so fingers crossed it will come down a bit.  We intend to get it while the 20c a litre discount is still in place

When does that stop, does it apply to heating oil?  We don't use any in the summer as we switch over to the gas boiler for water.  The CE boiler is in the utility right next to the kitchen and makes the place too hot even if only hating water.

[shelav]

I understood the discount applied to all fuels, it ends 30th September (unless extended again), we use ours to heat water in the summer as well as central heating in winter - ours is in the utility room also but doesn't seem to make the room hot, even in winter.  To be honest though our water coming in to the house is so warm it doesn't need much heating anyway!

I was supposed to get a delivery yesterday but thy didn't turn up.  When I rang this morning I was told they held back as price is suppose to drop again over the weekend...  I'd have thought they'd have delivered while price was higher.  I'll let you know how much I paid when (if?) they deliver on monday...

[Judi_bk]

That was good of them

[frankie]

Precisely why I was sceptical...

[frankie]

Thought I¡d posted before - the oil was delivered and it was 1,26 per litre.  I'm hoping it'll take me well into winter.  The man who brought it said it will most likely be rising again..

[Wolfie]

Frankie, can I ask where you got your oil from please as we're going to need some soon before the prices rise again?

[Wolfie]

Frankie, is it Terraga y Palmis in Olula that you ordered from?

[frankie]

Yes it was...  Very helpful and they always ring before arriving (essential in the heat, where clothes are at  minimum in the house )

[Wolfie]

400 litres is on its way this morning from T&P.  In January 2021 we paid 0.58 per litre, today it's 1.28 per litre. We did get the 20c discount though so worked out at 1.08.

[frankie]

I didn't get any discount!!!!!

[Wolfie]

You should have done, it's a legal thing I believe. I would contact them and see what they say.

[frankie]

It's on my to-do list for tomorrow...
