Most heating oil comparison sites sell the oil. Compare My Heating Oil sells nothing, surveying 60 named suppliers daily across all 84 UK counties
If you heat with oil you are buying a lump of fuel at whatever the price is that morning. Knowing your county average before you ring round is the difference between a fair deal and a guess.”
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Compare My Heating Oil has launched a free heating oil price comparison service covering all 84 counties of the United Kingdom. The service surveys 60 named suppliers every day and tells households what kerosene should cost in their own county before they place an order.— Tom Riley, Founder, Compare My Heating Oil
Why Heating Oil Prices Are Hard to Compare
Heating oil sits outside the price protections that cover mains gas and electricity. There is no price cap, no standard tariff and no annual statement. The price changes daily and varies by county, so two households 40 miles apart can pay different amounts on the same morning.
A second problem is who is doing the comparing. Most websites that offer to compare heating oil are retailers. They sell the oil themselves, so the prices on screen are their own. Compare My Heating Oil sells no oil at all.
Tom Riley, founder of Compare My Heating Oil, said: "Most sites that look like a heating oil comparison are actually retailers selling their own oil. Nobody was simply telling people the going rate in their county. People searching online for cheaper heating oil deserve a straight answer, so we built one."
What Compare My Heating Oil Does
Compare My Heating Oil is a UK heating oil price comparison service. It surveys 60 named UK heating oil suppliers every day and publishes a national average alongside county level averages. Prices are shown for the three volumes households actually order: 300 litres, 500 litres and 900 litres, delivered.
Heating oil is also sold as kerosene or 28 second burning oil. It heats homes, provides hot water and fuels boilers in properties with no mains gas connection.
Who the Service Helps, and How It Affects Their Costs
Rural households off the mains gas grid benefit most. They buy heating oil in large one-off deliveries rather than by monthly direct debit, so a few pence per litre changes the bill by tens of pounds on a single order.
Pensioners and households on fixed incomes in rural areas face the same lump sum with less room to absorb it. Knowing the county average turns an unknown quote into a checkable one.
Landlords, letting agents and second home owners manage oil heated properties they do not live in, often ordering by phone. County level averages give them a reference point from anywhere.
Farms, B&Bs, village halls and small rural businesses run oil fired heating at higher volumes, where the same per litre difference multiplies across the year.
Neighbours buying together in bulk use the volume bands to check whether a combined order beats separate ones.
How the Best Supplier Is Chosen
Every search returns a recommendation as well as a comparison. Rather than handing back a list, Compare My Heating Oil names the best value supplier for that location. In some counties that is a national distributor with a nearby depot, in others a local independent.
The choice comes from the day's surveyed pricing rather than assumption, so the named supplier changes as the market moves.
Where the Service Covers
Coverage runs across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with a dedicated page for every one of the 84 counties. Households can compare heating oil prices in England, or compare heating oil suppliers across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from the same county pages.
Buying guides and calculators sit alongside the comparison tool, covering tank sizing, bulk ordering and how prices move through the heating season.
