Providing guidance to our customers on how to be a greener heating oil household and reducing carbon emissions is important to us.
We have introduced a “Green” option to all orders! Whether you have auto top-ups with the Connected service or order when you’re running low on heating oil, the Green option is available.
The Green option gives you a choice to offset the carbon emissions created by your heating. If you are a Connected customer, we calculate how many trees need planting to offset your annual heating oil usage. If you do not have auto top-ups, we give you the option to offset your individual order.
We've been working with Forest Carbon for a few years, during this time your trees were planted in the BoilerJuice Forests Spithopeburnhaugh and Rarichie. We are proud to announce our forests have offset over 17,479 tonnes of CO2 and planted 213,203 trees!
Our new international project with Forest Carbon focuses on reducing CO2 in the air and provides sustainable development that has benefits for those who plant your trees.
We check every order to see if anyone else in your area has ordered their heating oil with BoilerJuice. If there are other orders, we will group them together. This makes sure that the suppliers don’t make extra journeys, reducing the amount of fuel burned. Not only will you benefit from group savings, but we also limit the number of carbon emissions created by tankers.
