green diesel

Our aga is great when it's going well. Got it serviced during the week, great to have hot water whenever you want it. Nothing like the heat it puts out too.

What type of geothermal

The aga, if on timber is probably the best option at the moment. We are are working with a log gasification boiler in the garage. One good wheelbarrow a day does the heating and hot water. With the cold that is coming, 1½ to 2 wheelbarrow will do. We forgot the resources that our farms can provide

Both oil price and refining cost has turned up yesterday and today, so we are probably near the bottom of the current cycle.

Green at 1.07 inc vat is a minuscule margin for the distributor

About 6k for the boiler and buffer tank. The buffer tank is like a battery. With solid fuel you can't really regulate the burn to turn on and off. With a gasification boiler, it's burns hard with the sole aim of heating the buffer. Whenever the house wants heat, it just pumps from this 'battery' It works best with low heat emitters eg low heat rads or underfloor.

I have the boiler in the garage it takes up a floor area of about 6ft × 5ft including the buffer tank. It's a MAGA boiler of about 40kw. It's Slovak and not to be confused with an ex President of the US. The buffer tank is 2000 litres. I would consider getting another 2000l buffer to add even more reserve to the system. This would allow for an immersion to be added easily. The plan is in the next few years to add solar PV to the house and use this immersion as a dump for excess power rather than exporting to the grid

For any one with an oil boiler in an out house, it could tie into the existing system easily

That seems reasonable, have a sibling with air to water costing around the same including all household service's.

Sorry for piggybacking the thread.

That would have been for everything. That was before all the rises in the esb tho.

The yearly esb here was 3000ish for the year max if we got some real cold months over winter. Thats house, heating, hot water and farm.

This summer it shut itself off for nearly 2 months I'd say with the heat

Is it really worth the messing for what you might save on 200 litres.

If you had even 5 x 5 gallon drums you'd save half without a lot of the messing and the expense of a pump.

Easier to put in tank. Lifetime job and you can buy whatever amount you want.

Kero 1.07 and green 1.04 this morning

The refining margins and exchange rates are just as important as the actual crude oil price.

@walterking is the man for all them figures.

I panicked reading this thread so ordered this evening as only half a tank left on the tractor

1.10e for green for orders over 1000L & 500L for 560e for kerosene with 25e off as I ordered together

Green down to 97c inc here this morning

Not sure. I always get around the 1000lts at a time tho
