If You Use Heating Oil This May Be Of Interest
Buy Fuel Early
The cost of energy is soaring and this winter the cost of household fuel is likely to be higher than ever. You are recommended to order heating oil supplies early, before the steep hikes in price that typically take effect between November and April (and peak in the coldest months between December and February).Ordering early will also mean that suppliers have better capacity to deliver promptly before they hit the busiest season and it will help ensure that you do not run out of fuel during a cold snap.
Oil buying groups can reduce the price of your fuel by allowing you to tap into lower prices made possible by bulk ordering. Sharing deliveries in a locality can also reduce the number of trips the tankers need to make, which is better for the environment and safer for the community. A Good Practice Guide for Oil Buying Groups has been drafted by ACRE. An electronic version is available on request from CDA or from the ACRE website:
Good Practice Guide For Oil Buying Groups
Do let us know if you are interested in setting up an oil buying group. If there is enough interest we can consider creating our own group or linking forces with one of the bigger groups. Also let us know if you run an oil buying group in your community and you would be happy to tell other people about it and how to set up their own. Thanks!
