What can we help you with?
Daily Home Heating Oil Price Checker
Due to ongoing geopolitical developments in the Middle East and the resulting volatility in global energy markets, home heating oil prices are currently fluctuating on a daily basis.
This daily price checker is in addition to the weekly price check for households who are monitoring heating oil prices and looking to make a more informed decision.
Not every town or supplier is represented but we hope this information gives you an idea of what you could be paying and helps you shop around for a better deal.
This checker does not forecast future prices - they are correct at the time of the survey. All home heating oil prices surveyed include 5% VAT.
*The daily oil price checker will operate Monday – Friday. During office closures on Bank or Public Holidays, we will display the previous working day’s prices.
