HCOS1400 - Introduction: fuel used for central heating
Gas oil and kerosene (also known as heating oil and paraffin) are used in central heating systems in:
- private houses
- schools
- offices
- large buildings
- farm houses
- horse stables
- nursery gardens
- hotels
- blocks of flats.
Management companies and Housing Associations may stand out on a return as they can get individually billed for the heating oil, whereas bills to Councils can get lost in the mass of gasoil supplies.
