Kettlewell Fuels’ Smart Squirrel doesn’t leave winter preparation to chance. It ensures a warm nest, stocked supplies and everything in top condition before the frost arrives.
You can do the same with your heating system. Here are our smart tips to help you prepare for winter:
Tip 1: Squirrel away your payments, the smart way
Heating oil, without the lump sum stress
Like storing acorns for winter, spreading your heating costs across the year makes perfect sense. With our monthly interest-free direct debit plan, you can budget more easily throughout the year – no surprises, no hefty one-off bills. Simply stay cosy and in control all year round.
Contact our friendly customer service team to find out more about our payment options.
Tip 2: Smart squirrels stock up in the summer
You may think it’s nuts to bulk-buy your heating oil in the height of summer.
But … while others are still thinking about the beach and BBQs, our forward-thinking heating oil customers are already preparing for the winter ahead – a bit like our Smart Squirrel stashing its acorns!
Although prices can fluctuate in response to global events, the warmer summer weather typically brings lower seasonal demand and more stable conditions. That’s why now is a smart time to fill your tank.
Take a leaf from our bushy-tailed friend’s book and be one step ahead of the autumn chill.

Tip 3: Adopt squirrel tactics for a bug-free tank
Avoid heating oil tank trouble this summer
With temperatures fluctuating in the summer and typically emptier tanks, condensation can build up inside your tank, creating ideal conditions for microbial contamination, also known as ‘fuel bug’. These unwelcome guests can clog filters, cause corrosion and leave you with costly repairs.
Do what our Smart Squirrel does and keep the stores full. Simply by topping up now, you can keep moisture out, your fuel fresh and your home heating ready for autumn. What’s more, reduced demand for kerosene in the warmer months often means you can take advantage of steadier pricing, so savvy customers get a double-win.

Tip 4: Be more Smart Squirrel – book your annual service now!
Keep your boiler and oil tank running smoothly by booking an annual service.
Regular servicing (annually) and maintenance of your oil central heating tank are the smart things to do. The expense of repairing or replacing a heating oil tank isn’t cheap, so it’s worth investing in an annual service by an OFTEC registered oil heating engineer.
There is one more simple way to support your boiler maintenance – upgrade to Premium Heating Oil. Proven to enhance boiler efficiency by up to 15%, it also reduces boiler breakdown and servicing problems, as well as CO2 emissions.
