Households Using Heating Oil Urged To Get Winter-Ready
14/01/2022
As temperatures drop with the arrival of December, the UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) has launched its 2021 Get Winter Ready campaign to encourage rural homeowners to prepare for the winter months ahead.
The campaign has been launched by the UKIFDA and OFTEC and encourages consumers of oil-heated homes to ensure they order their winter oil supplies in good time, as well as book a service and tank check before winter settles in.
Ken Cronin, UKIFDA’s chief executive, said: “It makes such a difference to people’s lives if they are prepared for winter and have enough fuel to heat their homes throughout the coldest months.”
Ken added that is it very important to be ready for the winter season, as running out of fuel when temperatures plummet can impact health and wellbeing. By being prepared, homeowners can minimise the impact of bad weather and stay warm in their homes all through the season.
Paul Rose, the chief executive of OFTEC said: “It’s vital we focus on this year’s approaching winter – which is why we urge consumers to be prepared.”
He said it is a sensible idea to ensure that all boilers and tanks are serviced and maintained before the winter fuel supply is delivered so that homeowners can ensure their system is in full and efficient working order, which will help save money on fuel bills and reduce the risk of storage issues that could result in leaks and costly clean-ups.
