Is it really 50% CHEAPER to heat your home with OIL vs GAS this winter? The energy crisis is having a huge impact on home heating costs, making fuel choice more important than ever!
People often assume that it is cheaper to heat your house with a gas boiler, yet, at the time of making this video it is currently 50% cheaper to heat your house with an oil boiler in Winter 2022.
What is the cheapest way to heat your home this winter?
The majority of UK households use gas central heating, however, there is also a significant number of properties that rely on oil central heating (kerosene).
If you are looking to save money on energy bills then it may be tempting to consider switching to an oil boiler. Unfortunately, with the total cost of an oil boiler and oil tank, it would take many years to see a saving vs continuing with your gas boiler.
In addition to this, oil prices go up and down frequently so by the time the UK energy crisis is over gas is likely to become cheaper than oil again.
Having said that, I still think it is reasonable to expect that it is going to be cheaper to use oil boilers for home heating this year compared to gas.
