How do I pay my bill if my heating runs on oil?


Some properties in the UK cannot be connected to the main gas network, usually because they are in rural or hard-to-access locations. For these properties, domestic heating and hot water are supplied through an Oil heating system, and the occupier will need to arrange for the regular delivery of heating oil through a private company.
 

The previous occupant will have had to have the same arrangement, so it is usually worth confirming which supplier they used. In many instances, you will be able to take over an existing arrangement. If a new agreement needs to be set up, or if you would like to compare available options, you can do so online here.
