Community
First has set up a new social enterprise that will reduce the cost of your
domestic heating oil each time you place an order.
All you
need to do to take advantage of the scheme is to pay an annual membership fee,
which will cover as many oil orders as you need during the course of the
year.
What’s
the snag?
There
isn’t one. The scheme is being promoted by Community First, the Rural Community
Council for Wiltshire, a long-established and well respected Wiltshire
charity. By bringing communities throughout Wiltshire together and making
the most of collective buying power, we can make savings and pass them to those
with oil-fired central heating.
The
environment benefits too
Delivery
tankers use a lot of diesel – a full tanker can get as horrifyingly little as
eight miles per gallon. If one tanker delivers to several customers in a
village instead of making lots of dispersed deliveries, the fuel consumption is
reduced and so is traffic in the village.
Annual
membership fees
Domestic:
£20, Community Building £30, Business: £100
5 easy
steps to cheaper heating oil
Step 1:
Join the CF Bulk Oil Buying Scheme (The Scheme)
Request
a membership form from Jess Emery on 01380 722475 or apply via the Community
First website www.communityfirst.org.uk
Step 2:
Wait to hear from your local co-ordinator
The
Scheme lets your village co-ordinator know that you have joined. Each month
your co-ordinator will email you to ask whether you want to place an order. The
minimum order is 500 litres.
Step 3:
Place an order
Let
your co-ordinator know you want to buy oil and the amount. Each month they
submit a total village order to the Scheme. Each order increases the
negotiating power, so, once submitted, an order is binding.
Step 4:
Sit back whilst we negotiate the price
The
Scheme negotiates the best price from a range of suppliers. Your co-ordinator
will advise you who the supplier is, the price per litre (exclusive of VAT,
currently 5%) and the approximate date of delivery.
Step 5:
Take delivery of the oil and pay the company
The oil
will be delivered as soon as possible and you make direct payment to the
company supplying the oil.

ReplyDeleteHeating oil is known in the United States as No. 2 heating oil. In the U.S., it must conform to ASTM standard D396. Diesel and kerosene, while often confused as being similar or identical, must conform to their own respective ASTM standards. Heating oil is widely used in parts of the United States and Canada where natural gas is not available and propane is priced higher. Where other fuels are not available, it is sometimes referred to as the unit cost per unit (BTU=British thermal unit or BTUH / h per hour), and can be less than other fuels.
