Around 68% of Northern Ireland homes - over 500,000 households - use heating oil, the highest rate in the UK by a large margin. Unlike the rest of the UK where oil heating is primarily rural, Northern Ireland has large numbers of suburban and even urban homes on oil, reflecting the limited reach of the gas distribution network across NI.
Heating oil is sold per litre, with 5% VAT applied to domestic deliveries. Northern Ireland typically sees some of the lowest heating oil prices in the UK due to intense supplier competition and high market density, particularly in areas around Belfast and County Antrim. Request quotes for your BT postcode to compare current figures.
Suppliers we have verified as delivering domestic heating oil in Northern Ireland include Hayes Fuels, Lagan Oils, Nicholl Oils, Riverside Oils, Scotts Fuels, Thompson Fuels, Vale Fuels, Certas Energy, Compass Fuel Oils, Speedy Fuels, Standard Fuel Oils, Watson Fuels. This is not the whole market - local independents operate at town and parish level too, and we only name a supplier once we have checked it against its own website and Companies House.
Yes, typically. The combination of a very large, geographically concentrated customer base and intense supplier competition means NI prices are usually among the lowest in the UK. Lower delivery distances within the province further reduce logistics costs. NI consumers are also among the most price-aware in the UK, which disciplines supplier pricing.
