WJT Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 We had 2000 litres delivered in mid October and was almost empty when I ordered more last week. I only ordered 1000 this time hoping the price will go down. By the way, we weren't here from January through first of March and still went through 2000 litres! Ernie, are you saying that 2,500 will last you for years? [blink]Christine, fingers crossed spring will arrive when it's supposed to tomorrow.

billy10 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 No it wont last for years, to heat the house comfortably I will use about 1300 litres of oil and about 7 steres of wood, and that keeps the temperature pretty good.Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy10 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 WJT, you either live in a Chateau or are in serious need of some insulation , your usage seems very high, having said that i still need to insulate tyo a higher standard to bring my consumption down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 We get through about 2500 to 3000 litres per year plus wood for the long burner. Our house is anything but warm. We only have the heating on for about two hours in the morning and live in the kitchen and lounge for the rest of the day. We are investigating double glazing this year and also changing to gas. Roll on the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy10 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi Claire 3000 litres is an enormous amount of oil, you must have either a leak, no insulation or a huge area to heat particularly if you have a wood burner as well, be careful as you might find that gas will be just as expensive as the heat has to be going somewhere irrespective of what fuel you are using.

[/quote]We just got our new roof and insulation completed (though still have to have tower re-roofed - planned for this September). The newer part of the house (which wasn't re-roofed as tiles were ok) has had insulation on the flat part of the roof but the mansarded (sloped) sides are being double boarded from the inside (with 7cms of insulation). It has made a massive difference to the temperature in the upstairs bedrooms which are now really, really cosy. It wasn't cheap (just over 16,000 euro) but well worth it. Before we had the roof / insulation done we got through 2000 litres of oil in 4 months - and that was leaving heating on a setting of minimum! P.s Not sure where you are but we can recommend our (local, french) roofer who was fab.Pps our floor area is 250 sq m and we had virtually no insulation. We also had a very aesthetically pleasing house - tower, large arched door, immense fire place opening - which looks fab but feels like a draughty medieval castle!

WJT Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Scooby, we also have an old pigeonniere (tower) that is used for our stairs. There is no insulation above the ceiling so is also very draughty. We don't need a new roof there but want to have the ceiling taken out and put very good insulation in. Unfortunately, we do need a new roof (we were told the roof was fine by a French architect we paid to survey the house before we bought [:(]). We are located in S.E. Dordogne. If your roofer is near our area, I would love to have his name please. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 No, unfortunately not a chateau. [:(] It sounds as if Clair and I live in the same house. [:D]Sounds like it. Our house is a large stone house and has a massive stone staircase which we don't heat right in the middle separating the house into two halves, kitchen on one side and lounge on the other. We also have tile floors, exposed granite walls and no damp course. The house was built circa 1732. However, despite the expense and the cold we love it !!!

WJT Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Claire, your house sounds really beautiful. I am very envious, I would love to have an interior old stone staircase.I am still keeping my fingers crossed that Scooby's roofer is in our area.

allanb Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 [quote user="Clair"]... the price varies according to the quality (normal or super)[/quote]I paid 80¢ a couple of weeks ago (this is in Lot-et-Garonne).

Clair Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They have different names for it and they are slightly more expensive: The "ordinaire" is basic heating fuel meeting European norms for viscosity, sulphur and water content.The "superior/super/premier" fuel usually contains additiveswhich ensure a better burn, fewer deposits in the burners, less smelland a reduced consumption, as well as keeping better at lowertemperatures.BP call theirs BP Fioul and BP Superfioul.Esso (under the name Worex) distribute Esso Fioul Plus and Esso Fioul 4 Saisons Plus.Total have Total Fioul Ordinaire and Total Fioul Premier.We have two main suppliers in the area. One sells Total fuels and the other BP fuels.We use BP Premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
