Devon has one of the largest off-grid heating oil markets in England. Roughly one in five Devon homes uses oil as their primary heating fuel, mostly older stone and cob properties in villages across mid-Devon, Dartmoor fringes and the North Devon coast that were built long before mains gas arrived. The county's size means delivery lead times can vary considerably - rural EX postcode areas around Okehampton and South Molton often see slightly higher prices than the more accessible TQ zone near Torbay.
The average price today is 94.9p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 1.1p above the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across Devon.
A 500-litre delivery in Devon costs approximately £498 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.
Suppliers serving Devon include Certas Energy, Watson Fuels, NWF Fuels, Your NRG and others. Availability depends on your exact postcode - use the form above to compare quotes for your address.
Most Devon 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.
Devon has a large number of isolated rural properties - farm cottages, stone barns and village homes - that sit beyond the reach of the National Grid gas distribution network. Around 80,000 Devon homes rely on oil. The county also has many listed buildings where alternative systems such as ground-source heat pumps are harder to install.
TQ (Torbay and South Devon) and EX (Exeter and mid-Devon) are both well-served. Properties in the TQ zone near larger towns tend to get more competitive quotes due to shorter tanker routes. Remote North Devon (EX31-EX39) can attract a small premium. Always compare at least three quotes for your specific postcode.
