Don’t wait until the weather turns cold to set up your home heating oil needs for the season. Our professional drivers, attentive office staff and a fleet of furnace oil trucks ensure our customers in the Greater Victoria, Duncan and Cowichan areas are looked after.

Not only do Peninsula Co-op members receive an annual rebate on their grocery and petroleum purchases but they also enjoy a rebate on their home heating oil.

We offer automatic delivery and equal billing plans. Sign up for automatic delivery and receive a $100 credit/year for the next five years (some conditions apply). That’s a $500 credit to you! With automatic delivery there is no need to call in, we will make sure your tank is full during the winter season.
