Somerset Community Oil Scheme
Bulk heating oil buying scheme to save you money
Somerset Community Oil Scheme is a heating oil bulk buying scheme that covers the whole of the county.
We all know there is strength in numbers, so that, together, bulk purchasing will make significant savings as collectively ordering reduces the cost. The scheme is open to individuals, community groups and businesses.
Unfortunately due to the war in Ukraine group orders are suspended for the time being however we will endeavour to keep you up to date with current prices.
Current oil prices at 18 month low!
The current rate today is around the 0.56ppl – 0.57ppl – that’s just under £300 for 500 litres!
If you would like to place a heating oil order, contact us on 01603 881888 or those with a Direct Debit can place their orders by emailing somersetbuying@af-affinity.co.uk
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SCHEME FROM AF AFFINITY
How we process heating oil and diesel orders has changed until further notice. Priority is being applied across the industry to emergency services, the vulnerable, and those who have run out or where possible those likely to run out in the coming weeks.
- Please note all confirmed orders will be priced on the date of delivery
- If you place an order, you agree to make payment for the amount stated on the invoice
- We are no longer running the normal fuel syndicate model but members can use the new process if fuel is required
- Consider a payment plan to help spread the cost of fuel.

We are working closely with our fuel suppliers to get the best possible prices and delivery time frames for you.
Delivery times are currently between 5 – 7 working days.
In some areas we are able to offer Express delivery options which can include next day delivery. There is no longer a restriction on the amount you wish to order.
The price of oil changes daily and the market is continuing to be volatile.
