How much does oil heating cost?
Everyone is interested in cost issues because, after all, it is the most important factor determining how much we have to spend during the long autumn and winter period, and sometimes also in spring, when the weather is not good. This is undoubtedly a key issue that cannot be forgotten when deciding to choose such a heating source. Heating oil prices may vary depending on many factors, such as the market situation or the region where we live. Of course, there are other expenses, i.e. the purchase and installation of an oil furnace with a tank.
If we were to take into account the average monthly cost of maintaining such an installation, it ranges from PLN 850 (or less, about PLN 710, if we use the government subsidy) to about PLN 1,250 (especially in uninsulated houses). These costs apply to a house with an area of 150 m2. However, as we mentioned, there are so many factors that determine the final expenses that it is difficult to define one measure for each case. For the sake of clarity, let us add that the price of the furnace ranges from approximately PLN 8,000 to PLN 12,000 (for a single-function furnace) and from PLN 25,000 to PLN 30,000 (for a good-quality condensing furnace). As for the prices of heating oil, they are so variable that it is difficult to say how much this fuel will cost at the time of purchase.
