Founded in 2004, BoilerJuice is an established and profitable UK platform business that connects customers whose homes are oil-heated with suppliers of oil. We keep our customers warm while saving them time and money and we provide a source of cost-effective, easy to process orders to the dealers we work with. We’re backed by Livingbridge, a leading Private-Equity fund, and investing to grow the business in the UK and beyond; with a key focus on growing our business in the USA.

We’re ambitious innovators helping a highly expert but generally low-tech supply chain to deliver better services to consumers; using automation and our digital expertise to improve their economics. Our “Connected” proposition, uses IoT smart meters to make being on oil as easy and convenient as being connected to the gas grid.

Although our customers depend on oil for their heating, we are aware of the opportunities and challenges of reducing carbon dependency. Connected includes a unique “Green” option that uses UK-based certified tree-planting to offset emissions. Through the data we get from metered customers, we can identify the specific customers for whom there is a compelling case for investing in energy-saving, either by improving insulation, boiler-replacement or switching to a new form of heating like heat-pumps.

Whilst we’re optimistic about low-carbon technologies replacing oil, we’re also realistic – people using oil are often living in older, less energy-efficient houses than people on-grid and the cost-benefit equation doesn’t work for everyone. However, the technology is improving rapidly and we will recommend it to customers as and when it makes practical and economic sense for them.
