Northern Ireland heating oil price history
Buying heating oil in Northern Ireland
- High demand density means short delivery runs, which usually keeps per-litre margins lower than in Great Britain.
- Many households buy smaller top-ups (as little as 100–300 litres) more often, which tends to cost more per litre than a full tank.
- Fuel is supplied through Belfast and Londonderry import terminals rather than from Great Britain refineries.
Before ordering, collect quotes from at least three local distributors and compare them with the estimate above. A quote within a few pence of our figure is usually reasonable; anything far higher is worth questioning. Our money-saving guide and cost calculator can help you decide how much to order.
