HOME & HEATING
Keep cosy with
RD Petroleum
this winter
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight
for farm and rural residents around the
Canterbury region, however now days urban
residents also enjoy the same excellent
customer service for which RDP is known
for in rural communities, through their
home heating diesel.
RDP began its home heating diesel
delivery service to the lower South Island’s
main urban centres of Christchurch, Timaru,
Dunedin and Invercargill a number of years
ago. Customer demand has continued
to increase year upon year, and RDP has
responded with specialised improvements to
its delivery equipment.
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home
heating diesel in each urban centre are
drawn from the company’s extensive
WESTERN NEWS
vehicle fleet. This means they have the latest
communication and GPS tracking technology
on board, so the operations team always
know where they are and how far away they
are from their next delivery stop.
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come
equipped with a specially-designed hose,
through which the diesel is pumped from
the truck into house tanks. The length of
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks
without having to enter the property, avoiding
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer
you’re offered discounted pricing and can
become eligible for value-added benefits.
