Get cheaper heating oil
Posted: Jun 28, 2008 | Category: Home HeatingYes, it is posible, you can get cheaper heating oil. And no, you do not have to find a supply of oil in your back garden in order to do this.
So if you use oil based heating (and there are over a million homes in the UK that do) all you hav to do is get involved with a heating oil buying group.
Easier said then done you might say?
Well, you could not be further from the truth - There is a website that is committed to getting buyers of heating oil cheaper prices, but I’d be suprised if you had heard of it.
Well let me introduce you to the world of BoilerJuice (quite a catchy name). So how will BoilerJuice save you money? Easy, you work together in buying groups.
The bigger your sepecific buying group, the bette the discount you will receive from the oil supplier. Buying from BoilerJuice will get as your own little co-operative.
The image to the left shows how the buying group works - Where you may have four households all buying oil seperately they are incurring extra costs. By combining the power of the four households you have a buying community, and more essentially, cheaper heating oil prices.
Nice Thinking
So how do you get mucked-in with a buying group? The system BoilerJuice have built lets others in your area know there are other people looking to buy heating oil - hey presto - a buying group can be formed. With heating oil buying groups it really is the more the merrier!
There is quite a lot of feedback about BoilerJuice on MoneySavingExpert, plus you can also find more information from the main BoilerJuice - UK site and BoilerJuice - Ireland site.

A fantastic blog article, I would never have found the BoilerJuice site otherwise or indeed have thought of looking for such a service. They also allow you to search for other users of red diesel in your area and get reduced prices on joint delivery too.

Interesting stuff. I think the idea of co-operatives are going to become more an more mainstream as the recession worsens.

Great resources. Here in Texas, this kind of heating isn’t very popular, haha.

Getting into a buying group seems like a really great idea. I wonder if I could do the same sort of thing for propane in Michigan.

your ideas could really work well, if you just spend the required time working on it.
Thank you
