Tips for heating oil buyers

For Cologne residents who pay attention to heating oil prices, there are some practical tips to optimize spending: ordering in a timely manner and using bulk orders can save a lot of money. It is also advisable to monitor the market all year round in order to benefit from possible price reductions. The Building Energy Act (GEG), which will come into force in 2024, also leads to an obligation to provide advice before installing new heating systems, but also provides financial incentives for replacing old systems. This could be particularly important for the many households in the region that operate oil heaters that are over 30 years old. Finally, various types of heating oil are available, including low-sulfur and organic varieties.

Ultimately, it remains to be hoped that heating oil prices will stabilize in the coming months. Market analysts' expectations are optimistic, but those who order early and obtain information in good time have the best chance of getting a good deal.
