What is the cheapest month to buy heating oil?
This is because the cost of oil fluctuates throughout the year as the demand for oil increases or decreases. When demand is low, the price of heating oil drops, making the summer the best time to get oil for a reduced cost. Specifically, oil is generally cheapest between April and September.
Why is heating oil so expensive?
The cost of heating oil is rising as a result of a recent spike in crude oil prices. This follows the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has put oil and gas prices under severe pressure amid fears over the potential disruption to supplies.
How long does oil last for heating?
On average, heating oil will last 18-24 months before it may become unstable. If too much moisture gets into your tank, however, the fuel can start to break down. This also will impede combustibility. We only and always carry the highest-grade fuel oil and test it regularly.
