Is it worth fitting a new boiler and switching over to Propane?

The government want you to be switching to heat pumps, but online reviews don't give me confidence. if I had a big enough garden maybe a ground source heat pump would work, but the air ones dont appear to be very good or need very specific circumstances (such as new houses, with great insulation) to work based on the reviews. Hopefully it will be a few years before I actually need to replace my old oil burner..

And from reviews they need to be on all the time and are very noisy
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

And with the power cuts we get, not sure how that will work. Need solar panels with batteries to feed the heat pump

Heat pumps are only really suitable for well insulated houses and specifically for new builds from 2025

Thanks for the info on that site as it may come in handy if our local guy cant get any . He supplies mixed hardwoods which is currently selling at £120 cubic metre but I can see that price rising pretty soon especially if we get a cold snap .

Hopefully the worst of the cold weather is over now south of Manchester anyways fingers crossed so will most likely turn the heating off and let the monthly credits build up until next time, that's if we're still around by then

Rang them today to get the price to be told 98.8 plus vat and that has apparently come down from earlier in the week . I didn`t go ahead with the order .

Having been without heating for over a week, that is cheaper than the jerrycans I filled

They did say that they are selling on the forecourt if we wanted less but didn`t ask how much it was a litre . Haven`t got any jerrycans anyway

Delivery cost was £75 per order, so a small order would work out expensive.

Thread revival - have ordered oil again to get the tank full before the season starts, price currently at 80p with delivery in 2 weeks following the trend if it goes down during that period.
Don’t want to get caught out, so full oil tank, full propane tanks for the cooking and lots of logs ready for burning and more trees to cut up over the next month.

I'm contemplating something similar too!
All a gamble though, who knows where oil prices are going?

I think the frost level inside the house is worth taking a punt on the price level versus running out
