Oil, coal, turf, briquettes and firewood, where to get?

snubbleste · 30-10-2009 7:38pm

Fey! if you some time on your hands, maybe you'd consider producing a nice spiders web chart of showing how most of the heating oil companies in Galway are linked, who owns who?

That's a big rise considering that on 23/10/09 chilly was quoted by Suttons €235 for 450 litres, which is €0.52 per litre, and ended up paying €0.51 per litre (post #97).

Sorry to go kinda off topic but im living in a rented house and will be moving out in jan and i dont want to spend money on oil that we wont use so is it possible to get less then 500ltrs from any oil company in galway?

Yes. The minimum is around €150 worth
Start calling around for quotes

biko · 11-11-2009 2:41pm

Just ordered 500 ltrs there from Texoil for 285 euro, 57 cent/ltr
They'll come out tonight

Sponge Bob · 12-11-2009 11:34am

The whole lot of them are quoting 54c or 55c a litre on a delivery of 1000 Kero right now but you can get them down to 52.5c for a customer winback .

LFC Murphy · 12-11-2009 10:56pm

Explain customer winback?

Sponge Bob · 13-11-2009 1:24am

If they have not 'seen you' for a while they are generally nicer to you than they are to normal customers

EuskalHerria · 16-11-2009 10:05pm

I know there seems to be a thread on this every couple of weeks but tis the season to be re-stocking.

Where is doing the best deals at the minute for heating oil, house for four students is like an igloo now so need to get oil in as soon as possible. Cheers in advance.

EuskalHerria · 24-11-2009 6:42pm

Nobody by oil in winter? Surely someone knows the cheapest place to get oil in the city centre.

redsteveireland · 25-11-2009 1:04pm

I got quoted €270 for 500Litres= 54c/litre from Corrib oil. Friend of mine got 300 litres for €200 =66c/litre last week so I think he got ripped off a bit!:D He ordered by the amount of money not by amount of oil which makes a big difference.

snubbleste · 01-12-2009 8:51pm

Odds are fuel supplies will be affected by the carbon tax in next weeks budget. Maybe it is a good time to stock up on the old briquettes and oil

alibabba · 02-12-2009 10:24am

got 500 litres from corrib oil last nite for 51 cent/litre

gaillimhabu · 08-12-2009 12:13pm

500 Litres

Jones Oil 091 562782 €290
Corrib Oil 091 751311 €290
Texoil/Connolly Oil/Excelsior 091 795188 €295
Cloonans 091 844088 €300
Sweeney Oil/East Galway Oil/Hi-Way Oil/O'Grady Oil 091 566406 €300

Went onto Cheapest Oil and just ordered online from Jones Oil for €284.50 as cheaper than over the phone.

Madame Razz · 08-12-2009 7:20pm

1400litres from Suttons €740 today.

I realise that may not be the cheapest but Suttons consistantly have good quality kerosene. Had my boiler serviced recently and my plumber was telling me that some companies are messing with the oil mix making it 'dirty'; which is guaranteed to screw your boiler. Something to keep in mind if you get a really cheap quote.

My brother in law delivers oil and he told me its amazing the amount of gunk in the tank when the tank is nearly empty. anyone getting a fill with the tank almost empty are likely to get dirt into their boiler he said !

Agreed; and constantly running out of oil and having the boiler fo to lock out all the time is bad too apparently!!!

My other brother in law services boilers and he stuck a filter on the oil inlet to my boiler. you should see how that gets dirty over a few months

Damn cold.

biko · 23-12-2009 1:33pm

Rang Mor Oil yesterday, got 500 litres today for €300.
Steep but at least we won't be without for Christmas and New Years. Now when everyone is home all day the heating is on all the time with the cold weather.

500 litres cost approx 260 euro, so they charging you 40 quid delivery.
Allot of places arent charging delivery lately.

Got 1000 litres yesterday for 550 euro from Corrib Oil.

I rang a few others first but they were all 280 or so and couldn't for sure say they'd make it before Christmas. Didn't want to take chances this close to the holidays.

ccsolar · 23-12-2009 11:49pm

Garbally oil charged my sis 50 cent a ltr and elite oil are very cheap also.
Dont have there no .

Did you get any feedback on this one?
I am too interested in companies that can deliver less than 500 ltrs...

Do you happen to know which companies allow this as I have found no-one so far that does?

ukgalwaymcguire · 27-12-2009 7:29pm

Texoil do €150, but the more you order the better you get per litre,
texoil 091 795188

theres also a guy called " cosy home heating " but he is very unreliable imho,
he told me he would be with me after 6 before christmas, and turned up at 10.30 pm, with no phone call to advise me, ( i went to bed lol)

ccsolar · 27-12-2009 10:03pm

Elite oil also do this and i just checked my bill
I ordered €300 and got 556.00ltrs =264 + VAT
They also deliver smaller amounts

gaeilgegrinds · 28-12-2009 2:25am

I got heating oil a few weeks ago but have had no money taken from my a/c yet. Quite annoyed as am afraid it & mortgage will come out at same time, is that normal for them to wait to take it out? Never experienced anything like it before!

liam12989 · 05-01-2010 6:53pm

Is der any places that deliver anyting below €200

Not many places.. but i think corrib oil or galway oil.
but for the sake of 50eur id go with suttons oil 200eur..350 litres bargain. another place 200 for 310 litres huge dif. id go wit suttons.
the higher u go the cheaper the oil but that v cheap with suttons.

Fey! · 05-01-2010 9:32pm

I paid Mor Oil €250 for 400 litres yesterday (62.5c/l). They had quoted me 0.64c/l for 300 litres (€192). I think that that was around their minimum delivery.

Moonandstars; that Suttons price is excellent (€200 for 350 litres = 0.57c/l)

might be worth checking out boilerjuice.ie for a quick comparison quotation next time before you order - or even now to see how much you've paid over the odds

doubleglaze · 09-01-2010 7:32pm

Corrib Oil were quoting €595 this afternoon for 1000 litres; €310 for 500 litres.

Sweeney Oil were quoting €580 for 1000 litres and €315 for 500 litres.

Checked them out, but they don't seem to be doing quotes for Galway City.

Nope, cooperation with Boilerjuice would make Galway oil companies' practices too transparent and accountable altogether.

Now, which Galway oil company will be the first to break from the c..... cycle?

I rang around yesterday (Fri) looking for 1000 litres and was quoted:

Corrib: €580
Sweeneys: €570
Galway Oil: €585
Suttons: €595
O Connell: €580

If you are a regular customer you may be able to haggle them down 20 or 30 euro.

waitingforBB · 10-01-2010 2:33am

ordered from Corrib today at 56c per litre.
so 560 for 1000 litre fill

Based a couple of miles outside of loughrea

Does anyone know of any oil companies that take American Express as payment?

civis_liberalis · 10-01-2010 11:25am

If you are going to be in this country long enough to need to buy oil , I would suggest that you apply for a visa or mastercard.

pencil · 11-01-2010 12:01pm

Just ordered 800 litres.

Corrib Oil: €480. €0.60 cent per litre.
Sweeney: €470. €0.59
Sutton: €470. €0.59
Boilerjuice.ie: €456. €0.50

Boilerjuice got the business.

I am just looking for an Oil company that accepts American Express as a payment method.

He's right. American Express is a pain in the arse to have in this country. even to buy petrol/diesel th only garage in galway city that accepts is the Sweeney garage on the Headford road; but Sweeney oil as a company don't as far as I know. Seriously, pay cash or get a visa or mastercard; American Express is akin to a pariah in this country. I had one for business for a bit and I got rid of it as effectively most of the time it was useless.

Oil, coal, turf, briquettes and firewood, where to get?
