Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Consistently cheaper than others.

I have used 'Heatingoil.co.uk' for the last 2 or 3 years now. Other than the odd time, they tend to be cheaper than other online companies even when those companies offer vouchers. We are not talking pennies, but £20 or £30 cheaper.
Delivery time has always been short and well before estimated delivery date. My last but one order came just 2 days after the order date, yet other companies would charge a premium for fast delivery.
I could say it would be nice to get some offers or vouchers, but as they are mostly cheaper than other with offers, then I suppose that would be asking too much.
Order process is easy, no delivery charge, the total includes VAT and tells you exactly what your going to pay.
Simple and efficient.

Incompetent

Driver would not deliver as he said I had a leak on the tank. He was wrong. I emailed photos to prove no leak. The customer service person didn’t forward the photos to the correct person. Many phone calls later I was told my refund was through value oils even though I didn’t order through them. Incompetent staff. Finally got a manager who was helpful.

Rude and stupid delivery driver Turned up at our property having woken up our neighbor; then refused to deliver our oil as his company had made a typo in the address details - even though it showed our address!
Had to spend several hours getting through to them and now they have rearranged delivery (which is now late)…. Not recommended.
UPDATE - having spoken to a representative of Certas Energy (eventually) they assured me the Oil would be delivered the next day (Saturday); Saturday came and went, again NO DELIVERY. I then got an email from them saying “sorry your order is delayed, we will contact you when we can rearrange delivery…..” Of course none of the contact telephone numbers for them work at the weekend and we have now run out of oil. Pathetic service. Incidentally, they seem very fast at defending themselves with responses to reviews, it is a shame they are less responsive doing the job they are paid to do!

Ordered oil in a small tanker

Ordered oil in a small tanker, apparently a large tanker turned up and refused to deliver, despite requesting a small tanker as per previous orders when they have been before to our address. They cancelled the order without telling also this has happened on other occasions. Never tell you they have cancelled they just do it, you have to chase them yourselves as oil did not arrive on time also.

HomeFuels Direct Merger

Hi - you've been delivering my oil for the past 10 years. I have just tried to order with HomeFuels Direct and they tell me that they do not have any baby tankers in my area, so are unable to fulfil my order.

Have you not combined your tanker fleet with theirs? Seems strange to merge with another company and lose long-standing customers, as a result...

Pls advise?

Thank you,
