Keep your commercial and industrial operations running smoothly and efficiently with high-quality industrial heating oil from Future Fuels. Our product is a specifically formulated fuel designed to power a wide array of static heating applications, from large commercial boilers and industrial furnaces to grain dryers and horticultural heating systems. We understand the importance of reliable and cost-effective energy, and our IHO delivers just that.

Industrial heating oil (IHO), sometimes referred to as commercial heating oil or Ultra 35 heating oil, is a distinct fuel product derived during the crude oil refining process. Understanding its properties is key to appreciating its value:

• Economic Advantage: One of the primary benefits of industrial heating oil is its cost-effectiveness compared to other heating fuels like gas oil. This can translate to significant savings for businesses with substantial heating demands.
• High Energy Content: IHO possesses a high calorific value, meaning a smaller volume of fuel can generate a significant amount of heat, contributing to operational efficiency.
• Drop-in Alternative: For many existing heating systems designed for light fuel oils, switching to industrial heating oil can be a straightforward process, often requiring no major equipment modifications. It’s designed to be compatible with existing oil-fired heating installations for a seamless transition.
• Cold Weather Performance: Our industrial heating oil is treated to ensure excellent performance even in the colder months, boasting a low pour point to prevent fuel line blockages and ensure consistent operation throughout winter.
• Stable and Long-Lasting: Properly stored, industrial heating oil has a good shelf life, allowing businesses to manage their fuel inventory effectively without concerns about rapid degradation.
• Versatile Applications: The applications for industrial heating oil are diverse, spanning heating large commercial spaces (offices, warehouses), powering industrial processes requiring heat (manufacturing, food processing), and providing essential heating in agricultural settings (poultry farms, greenhouses).

NOTE: Industrial heating oil can only be used for heating applications and not for use in vehicles.

In the United Kingdom, industrial heating oil is classified as a rebated fuel, which means it is taxed less than ordinary road diesel. Its use is legal for some commercial and industrial heating purposes.

Who can legally use rebated industrial heating oil for heating in the UK?

A wide range of commercial and industrial users can benefit from rebated industrial heating oil for heating purposes, including:

1. Companies that heat commercial spaces like offices, warehouses, and factories
2. Industrial processes requiring heat in manufacturing and production facilities.
3. Farmers and agricultural enterprises requiring heat for tasks like maintaining temperatures in poultry sheds and greenhouses, as well as for grain drying processes.
4. Growers and horticultural operations that require heating for environments like glasshouses and controlled growth chambers.
5. The need for heating in publicly owned buildings like educational facilities and healthcare centers.
6. Homeowners can utilize Industrial Heating Oil (IHO) for their residential heating needs.

Yes, A lower rate of duty applies to industrial heating oil when used to heat permitted commercial and industrial properties, making it a more affordable option than fully taxed fuels. It is important to remember that its use is legally restricted to heating these locations and excludes vehicles or machinery not classified as “excepted machines” for heating.
