Heating oil is cheap

[difflock]

As in it cannot make sense for me to go down the RHI route, even at a deemed and capped £2,000.00/year over 7 years.

Plus £2,500.00 up front

When we only used 250 gallon of kero this past 12month, I was gobsmaked when I checked today at lunchtime.

The Morso obviously does stirling work in the front room:lol:

hmmm

£16,500 return over 7 years for £11,00.00 outlay now.

might actually be worth it after all:lol::lol:

but if I remove the oil boiler for to qualify for the deemed payment, I really need to add in the cost of solar hot water install for the summer months.

Very cheap I'll agree, Ive been looking at all sorts of options this year but when oil's only 37.8 PL makes you think can i be bothered...and like you say the stoves earning its keep..

[Styx]

Just paid 30.5 pence per litre, cheapest for a long time !!

i knew i shouldnt let her order...

standing order so i'll let her off...

[ash_smith123]

But what was oil in 2010? Got upto 70p a litre around here! So there's no reason in 5 years time it won't be back upto 70p!

I am hearing of people actually having biomass being taken out, our farrier for one. He had a pellet one installed, being quoted a price per bag and tonne rate, but could not get the tonne rate unless he collected it, worked out it was cheaper to stay with oil. The company had to reinstall a new oil boiler for him and make good all pipe work.

I would think that is very short sighted.

 

You don't install a biomass boiler for the short term.

 

Overall it must be costing him a lot of money to keep changing

HI DIFF it may cheap i no customer love logs thanks jon

[Stihllymok]

a few valid points but with RHI dropped and likely to drop further it does as my old boss would say "need a coat of looking at" .

 

But as plogs says logs R best and with oil this cheap (i know it can rise but word is it aint going anywhere in a hurry) im sticking with if it aint broke dont fix it...for now.
