Tips to prevent running out of heating oil:
As the temperature drops, running out of heating oil for your home or business can be a vital mistake, so we want to avoid this from happening.
To prevent running out of heating oil in the future, we have some recommendations:
Schedule your heating oil deliveries
Scheduling regular heating oil deliveries based on your usage and when the weather gets colder. Using a tank monitoring system, you will be able to gauge heating oil levels, so that you will know when your tank is getting low. At LV Fuel Services, we can offer scheduled oil deliveries for your home or business, we can base this on your monitoring system and how much oil you use on average.
Install a monitoring system for your oil tank
Consider installing an oil tank monitoring system, this will provide real-time data on your heating oil levels. These systems can send alerts to let you know when your levels are low, allowing you enough time to get a heating oil delivery scheduled before you run out.
Regular maintenance of your heating oil tank
Keeping your oil tank regularly maintained is important to prevent the failure of your heating oil tank. Having an oil tank that is looked after will ensure that your system runs more efficiently, and consume less oil, reducing risk of unexpectedly running out of heating oil.
What to do if you run out of heating oil?
If you run out of heating oil for your home or business these are the steps you should consider:
- Contact your heating oil supplier
Contacting your heating oil supplier should be your priority, as you will need to get your heating oil delivered quickly. At LV Fuel Services, we offer emergency heating oil delivery for our customers across the UK, in the likelihood that a customer runs out of heating oil.
- Use alternative heating sources
It would be a good idea to have a plan ready if your heating oil tank fails or runs out of oil. In case you don’t have a plan, we would suggest using wood to create heat through a fire place, trying to get hold of portable heaters or electric blankets in the mean-time. Another option could be to stay at a friends or families, until you can get your heating oil delivered.

Oil Relocation During Tank Replacement
If you need to replace your existing oil tank with a newer one, we can store your oil during the process and use it to fill your new tank after the installation process is complete.
Our experienced team starts the tank replacement process by removing the contents of your existing oil tank. While we’re cleaning and removing/decommissioning your old oil tank, we’ll keep these contents safe and secure for transfer to your new tank.
