Over the past years, households in Belgium have seen their heating costs soar. Cold seasons are lasting longer, and the combination of higher fuel prices and increased consumption has put strong pressure on family budgets.
A heating oil loan is designed to help you anticipate these expenses, so you can fill your tank at the right moment without waiting for last-minute price peaks.
Why Has Heating Oil Become So Expensive?
The price of heating oil is influenced by several structural factors. On the one hand, global demand for fuel keeps increasing, while oil production remains limited, particularly due to decisions taken by producing countries (OPEC). On the other hand, geopolitical tensions and energy transition policies can also create additional volatility.
Taxes make up a significant part of the final price paid at the pump or for heating oil. In Belgium, various excise duties, energy taxes and VAT account for a large part of the total cost, which considerably reduces the consumer’s room for manoeuvre.
As a result, households are often fully exposed to price increases they cannot control, especially during the coldest months when consumption peaks.
The Impact on Your 2026 Household Budget
In 2026, the challenge is not just the price per liter, but the total amount of your annual heating oil bill. A harsh winter or a late spring can quickly blow your forecast budget and force you to dip into your savings.
Many consumers try to defend themselves by ordering a large quantity of heating oil at once, sometimes by grouping together with neighbours or friends to secure better prices for bigger volumes. While this is a good strategy for the price per liter, it still represents a big one-off expense.
This is precisely where a tailored heating oil loan can help: you benefit from the advantage of a large delivery, while preserving your monthly budget thanks to spread repayments.
Finance Your Heating Oil and Pay Month by Month
Crédit Populaire Européen offers you a dedicated heating oil financing solution, similar to an instalment loan. You can borrow from €1,500 and repay your loan over a period of up to 24 months, at an attractive interest rate, so you can heat your home without destabilising your budget.
For example, a financing of €1,500 may correspond to an order of around 1,666 liters of heating oil (depending on the current market rate). Instead of paying everything upfront, you spread the cost over 2 years with a fixed monthly instalment.
This solution is ideal if you want to anticipate your winter expenses, avoid unpleasant surprises and smooth out the cost of your energy consumption over the whole year.
Spread Payments
Convert a single large invoice into comfortable monthly instalments over up to 24 months. Keep more liquidity for your other projects while ensuring your tank is filled when you need it most.
Secure Your Comfort
Don’t wait until the last minute to order. Anticipate your heating needs, avoid winter price spikes and make sure you have enough fuel throughout the entire cold season.
Protect Your Savings
Preserve your savings and emergency fund. The heating oil loan allows you to finance your fuel without emptying your account, while keeping a clear, fixed schedule for repayment.
Illustrative Example of Heating Oil Financing
Suppose you need €1,500 to fill your heating oil tank. With a heating oil instalment loan, you can repay this amount over 24 months with a fixed monthly instalment.
Example: instalment loan of €1,500 – APR of 9.95% – over 24 months – monthly payment of €68.88, i.e. a total amount repaid of €1,653.12. The total cost of your financing over 24 months is therefore €153.12.
