The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy says the increase in fuel prices is as a result of among others the sanctions imposed on Russia and the limited supply from oil producers despite increasing global demand.

First of all, I have personally found that standard paraffin seems to burn no differently, and the smell is not much stronger than expensive C1 Paraffin!, yet it is sold much cheaper. Certainly the small increase in the strength of the fuel smell (generally only noticeable when the heater starts and stops) is a small price to pay in comparison to the large saving in the difference in cost, between Premium and Standard Paraffin, and when the heater is actually running there is no difference in my Corona heater between standard and premium fuels. Now safety.. Never ever use it in a room where anyone will be sleeping and that incudes your baby. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and this heater does emit a very small amount of it. You need to ventilate your house to ensure these levels don't get too high. You also need an audible detector. As much as I love and actively promote Inverter heaters, I won’t do so in the event it actually costs money or in situations where it doesn’t make economical sense. I couldn’t justify ever paying 2p over the odds for every KW of heat for my household, so unless there was some other compelling reason to run an inverter heater instead of an Electric Heater or where saving money on heating costs wasn’t the main criteria, economically it would make absolutely no sense at all.Its portable, clean, economical and trouble free. Also its VERY safe to use in modern heaters, its the 21st century and technology has caught up! the main beauty of paraffin is that is is not very flammable, unlike calor gas. which you cannot use to heat bedrooms, plus I hate the idea of a gas bottle being connected all the time indoors.

Its an electronic one with a fan, so the ony power used is to the fan, the hating is all done by paraffin.They charge just over 72p per litre, and just over 69p if you take more than 200 litres, from the pump.
