If your home isn’t connected to the gas grid, heating your property can work differently.
Many off-grid households rely on oil, LPG, solid fuel or similar systems, which often require fuel to be purchased in bulk. This means paying a larger upfront cost, rather than spreading payments monthly, which can be difficult during colder months when demand – and costs – are higher.
A Bulk Buy Fuel Loan may be able to help. The scheme offers loans from £100 to £500, repayable over 6 months, with a fixed 0% interest rate (Representative 0% APR).
This may help you manage the cost of heating your home without needing to pay for fuel in one lump sum.
Who can apply?
To apply, you’ll typically need to:
- Have a household income below £35,000 per year
- Use oil, LPG, Calor Gas, wood or coal to heat your home
- Live in Somerset, North Somerset, West Devon or South Hams
You’ll need to apply before purchasing your fuel so funds can be arranged, and in some cases paid directly to your supplier.
