Oil central heating

If you have oil central heating, you will have an oil-fired boiler that heats water to heat your home through radiators, as well as providing hot water from your taps.

The CSE share some helpful information on buying domestic heating oil.

Controlling your oil central heating 

You can control the temperature of your home using your room thermostat, thermostatic radiator valves, your boiler thermostat, and timers and programmers.

You can also invest in smart heating controls that connect to the internet, allowing you to adjust your heating remotely.

Storage of heating oil

Storage of heating oil is your responsibility, and we would advise you store this securely. Never store heating oil inside of your home. Instead, heating oil should be stored securely in a shed, garage, or in a secure outdoor space, away from direct heat or other sources of ignition that could cause the oil to catch fire.
