    How long will 500euros worth of oil last in a 2 storey house with 5 radiators.
    Would be hoping to only have then on for 4-5 hours a day.
    Rough quesstimates would be great

    a lot of things need to be factored in but an approx. guide would be 3litres per boiler running hour

    roughly 90c per litre so for 500eu you possibly got about 555 litres again this is guessing you may have paid I bit more or a bit less check the delivery dk it should show how much you got

    I haven't bought any yet, was just wondering for when it gets cold.
    we have a wood burner in the lounge which is good so would only have the radiators on a bit in morning or night to warm rest of house.

    85 cent/litre.running for 4.5 hours a day on average you will get an approx 65 days for 500 euro provided your boiler is set up correctly.

    Ya, use the wood stove and reduce oil to 1 hr morning and 1 hr in the evening. That's what I do. Stove going all day here.
