Which is cheaper to heat my home - coal or oil?

Question

If there is much of a difference in price how much is it approx? Thanks

Answer 1

get solar pannels now, cheap and free energy

Answer 2

The cheapest way in the long run, is insulating it better.

Answer 3

At the moment, coal, or more specifically, solid fuel - looks like oil won't be cheaper for the foreseeable future, but get something that will burn wood as well as coal - there's plenty about for free if you can be bothered to collect it.

Answer 4

i would say coal

Answer 5

I would think that oil is the cheaper to heat your home, I had coal central heating and it was costing me over a £1000 a year for the coal, I use to buy the coal at two ton a time, and the last two ton I bought was £350, I change over to gas central heating how I pay about £300 a year for my central heating from E-on.

Answer 6

where do you live? have you seen what is happening to the oil price I think oil is out.

Answer 7

I'd say coal - we live in a small village and have oil-fired heating and it costs us a fortune, well over £1200 a year, and every time we get the tank filled up, it costs more and more. There are also several people in the village who've had their oil stolen, so you've also got to think about making the tank secure. I really miss having gas, which we had at our last place.
