County Antrim is among the most oil-dependent areas of the British Isles. Outside Greater Belfast and a handful of larger towns, mains gas is almost entirely absent - Northern Ireland's gas network is small and relatively recent. Around 68% of Northern Ireland homes use oil for heating, and County Antrim reflects this: from the Glens of Antrim and the Causeway Coast to mid-Antrim farming communities, oil boilers are the universal standard. Northern Ireland's competitive oil market - with over 100 active suppliers - is one of the most price-competitive in the UK.
The average price today is 91.5p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 2.3p below the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across County Antrim.
A 500-litre delivery in County Antrim costs approximately £480 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.
Suppliers serving County Antrim include Certas Energy, Your NRG, Crown Oil, Emo Oil and others. Availability depends on your exact postcode - use the form above to compare quotes for your address.
Most County Antrim suppliers deliver within 3-5 working days for a standard order. Some offer express or next-day delivery for an additional charge. During cold spells, lead times extend across the board - order when your tank reaches a quarter full to avoid being caught short.
Ordering 500 litres or more unlocks better per-litre rates than a 300-litre order. Comparing multiple local suppliers on the day you want to order, avoiding emergency deliveries (which cost 8-15p per litre more) and timing your order outside peak winter demand (October-February) are the most reliable ways to reduce your fuel bill.
Northern Ireland's gas distribution network covers only Greater Belfast, Londonderry and a handful of towns along the east coast. The rest of the province - including most of County Antrim outside Belfast - was never connected. Oil infrastructure has developed over decades to fill this gap, creating a mature, well-supplied market with strong price competition.
Northern Ireland has historically been one of the cheapest regions in the UK for heating oil, largely because of the intense competition among over 100 named suppliers and lower distribution costs across the compact province. Prices can be 3-6p per litre below the GB average, though this varies with global crude oil movements.
