In many homes, the arrival of low temperatures implies the return of a great ally, paraffin stoves, to keep spaces warm and not succumb to the cold and winter.
Discounts on the purchase of paraffin
The good news is that there are discounts which consumers can access, depending on the commune in which they reside, whether they are affiliated with compensation funds, whether they belong to certain State institutions and even the day of the week.

How to find the cheapest paraffin?
The National Energy Commission has the web platform “Fuel Online” that allows you to know where the lowest fuel prices are, depending on the user’s geographic location.
In this portal, the search can be filtered by commune, brand (name of the station or distributor, for example) and even by type of service (if it has a public bathroom, ATM, pharmacy, among others).
