Hi folks, could you answer a couple of questions please?
We moved into a rented bungalow with an oil-fuelled boiler a month ago. We've never had oil heating before and don't really know how it works.
Firstly, if you have the tank in your garden, is it normal for your entire garden to stink of oil all the time, especially when the heating is on?
Secondly, is it normal to use 200 litres of oil in one month when heating a 2-bed detached bungalow (with pretty rubbish insulation tbf, and only half double-glazed) in a normal kind of way in Feb? ie, thermostat at 18 degrees, on for 2 hours in the morning, 5 hours in the evening, plus hot water heated morning and evening for 1 hour?
