Hi all,
was wondering on your thoughts about gas or oil fired boilers?
what do you think is cheaper, i know you have the problem of siting the oil tank but the actual cost of running an oil fired boiler compared to a gas fired fired boiler is it any cheaper, i think oil is at 46ppl at the moment but dont know how long 500 litres would last.
any help appreciated
cheers
ian

Not an expert Ian, but my brother in law does a lot of Oil fired aplliances.
as far as i'm aware the fuel can be more expensive than gas (depending on quantities bought) and the bolier would need servicing more than a gas bolier.
I wouldn't think you'd save anything, especially if you'd have to buy a tank & boiler.

Re: heating costs
Be carefull, you've obviously checked on oil prices at the moment and yes it's not a bad price, but, they have just come down. If you go back to just before Christmas you find you would have payed an extra 13p a litre. Gas is pretty much a constant price all year round, oil i'm afraid is not, demand goes up, so does price
