Northumberland is England's northernmost and most sparsely populated county, with vast tracts of open moorland, the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park containing some of the most remote rural properties in the country. Around 35,000 Northumberland homes rely on oil, particularly in the NE, TD and NE66-NE71 postcodes covering the rural north and west of the county. Competition from Scottish-based suppliers and strong regional players centred on the Tyne Valley generally keeps prices close to the North East average.
The average price today is 92.4p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 1.4p below the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across Northumberland.
A 500-litre delivery in Northumberland costs approximately £485 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.
Suppliers serving Northumberland include Certas Energy, Your NRG, Johnston Oils, Rix Petroleum and others. Availability depends on your exact postcode - use the form above to compare quotes for your address.
Most Northumberland 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.
The North East region consistently records some of the most competitive heating oil prices in England. Northumberland benefits from proximity to North East depots and competition from suppliers who also serve the Scottish Borders. Rural NE and TD postcodes typically track within 2p of the national average.
National suppliers cover the accessible parts of the county, but some of the more remote valley and moorland properties in Redesdale, Coquetdale and the upper North Tyne are better served by regional operators who have smaller vehicles suited to narrow tracks. Our quote form surfaces available suppliers by postcode.
