Five Simple Steps to Get Winter Ready with Allan Stobart
As the colder weather approaches, Allan Stobart is encouraging customers to take a few simple steps to prepare for winter and help keep their homes warm when they need it most. With increased demand, severe weather and potential delivery delays during the winter months, a little forward planning can make all the difference. Here are our five top tips to help you stay prepared.
1. Check Your Heating Oil Levels
Keep an eye on your heating oil tank and, wherever possible, aim to maintain a minimum of 500 litres. Keeping a sensible reserve can give you extra peace of mind during periods of high demand, bad weather or unexpected delivery delays.
2. Order Your Heating Oil in Good Time
Don't wait until your tank is almost empty before placing your next order. Planning ahead helps you avoid the last-minute rush during colder weather and gives you greater flexibility when arranging a delivery. Keep an eye on your fuel levels and order early to help ensure you're ready for the coldest days.
3. Keep Your Heating System Winter Ready
Make sure your boiler is serviced before winter sets in, and check that your oil tank, access points and associated equipment are safe, accessible and in good condition. Regular maintenance can help your heating system run safely and efficiently, while reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns when you need your heating most.
4. Know Where to Find Support
If you're concerned about managing your heating oil costs or keeping your tank topped up, speak to Allan Stobart about the options and advice available to you. It's also worth checking whether you qualify for any government support schemes or independent advice services that can help with winter heating costs.
5. Register for the Cold Weather Priority Scheme
If you're aged 75 or over and rely on heating oil, check whether you're eligible to register for the UKIFDA Cold Weather Priority Scheme. Participating heating oil distributors can prioritise deliveries during periods of extreme cold weather or fuel shortages. If you have friends, family members or neighbours who may be eligible, encourage them to find out more too.
