As temperatures begin to drop, now is a good time to make sure your home is prepared for the colder months ahead.
At Highland Fuels, we’re proud to be longstanding members of the UKIFDA, and we’re supporting their latest winter campaign, ‘Don’t Run Low this Winter: Act Now - Don’t Be Caught Out’.
The campaign encourages households that rely on heating oil to plan ahead, check their tank levels regularly and take simple steps to stay warm and prepared throughout winter.
Here are some helpful reminders to keep in mind as the colder weather approaches.
One of the simplest ways to prepare for winter is to keep an eye on how much heating oil you have left.
It’s easy to forget about your tank until the temperature drops, but checking it regularly can help you avoid running unexpectedly low.
UKIFDA recommends maintaining at least 500 litres of heating oil in your tank wherever possible, providing a useful buffer during periods of increased demand, severe weather or unexpected delivery delays.
Demand for your heating oil typically increases during the colder months, so it’s important to plan ahead rather than waiting until your tank is nearly empty.
Ordering in good time allows more flexibility when arranging your delivery and helps reduce the risk of running low when you need your heating most.
At Highland Fuels, we’re here to help you plan your next delivery and keep your home warm throughout winter: Order your heating oil here.
Alongside checking your oil levels, it’s important to make sure your heating system is ready for the colder weather.
A few simple checks can make a difference:
Taking these steps can help reduce the risk of any unexpected problems during winter.
We understand that heating costs can be a concern for many households, particularly in the lead-up to Christmas.
That's why Highland Fuels offers a range of flexible payment options to help customers manage their heating oil costs.
Our Pay In 3 option allows you to split the cost of your heating oil purchase into three interest-free instalments, rather than having to pay the full amount upfront.
You make the first payment at the time of purchase, and the remaining two payments are collected automatically every 30 days.
It's a straightforward way to spread the cost of your heating oil while making sure you’re prepared for the colder months.
