What affects heating oil prices in the UK?
Heating oil prices move up and down for a few key reasons, some global, some closer to home. Understanding what drives those changes helps you plan ahead and order at the right time.
Global crude oil costs
Heating oil is refined from crude oil, so when global oil prices rise or fall, heating oil follows. Political tensions, supply cuts from major producers, or increased worldwide demand can all push prices up.
Seasonal heating oil demand
Prices usually climb in colder months when demand peaks. Ordering off-season – typically in spring or summer – can mean better rates and faster delivery.
Exchange rates and import costs
Most crude oil is traded in US dollars, so when the pound weakens against the dollar, importing oil becomes more expensive for UK suppliers. Even small currency shifts can make a noticeable difference in the price per litre.
Delivery and regional factors
Where you live matters. Rural or hard-to-reach areas can face higher transport costs, while customers near distribution hubs often pay slightly less. Ordering as part of a group or bulk delivery can help offset these regional differences.
Supply chain and storage
Disruptions at refineries, strikes, or reduced stock levels can limit supply and drive prices up temporarily. On the flip side, strong supply and full storage tanks usually keep prices steadier
Government policies and environmental factors
Taxes, renewable fuel incentives, and moves toward cleaner alternatives like HVO Fuel can all affect long-term heating oil prices. As the UK shifts toward lower-carbon heating, these changes will gradually shape how fuel is priced and supplied.

Heating oil price FAQs
Here are some of the most comment questions we get about heating oil prices.
How long can I store commercial heating oil on-site?
Heating oil can be stored for up to two years if the tank is in good condition and protected from water, debris, and extreme temperatures. Using additives like stabilisers and biocides can also help extend its shelf life.
How do I maintain my commercial heating oil tank?
Start with an annual inspection by an OFTEC-qualified engineer, and carry out regular visual checks to catch any issues early. Here’s what to remember:
- Keep the area around the tank clear – especially the bund
- Seal off access points when the tank’s not in use
- Wipe up any spills straight after delivery
- Watch for signs of leaking, like dark patches on the ground
- Check the tank body for damage, rust, or warping
- Make sure pipes and fittings are tightly connected
- Give steel tanks a fresh coat of paint if they’re looking worn
Always have a spill kit on hand in case of emergencies
Are there any government grants for using domestic heating oil?
While heating oil itself isn't usually grant-funded, some schemes may provide funding for upgrading your boiler or improving energy efficiency in off-grid homes. Check with your local authority or energy support schemes to find your options.
How do I know how much domestic heating oil I need, and how often should I refill my tank?
This depends on your tank size, usage, and the time of year. Most homes use between 1,000 and 2,000 litres of heating oil every year. You should check your heating oil level regularly and top up before it drops below a third.
How is domestic heating oil delivered to my home, and what are the delivery options?
Our heating oil is delivered by tanker directly to your storage tank. We work around your schedule and can deliver whenever it works best for you. If you need an emergency top-up, choose from our 1- or 2-day delivery options.
Is there a best time to buy heating oil to save money?
Yes, heating oil prices fluctuate all the time, so timing your order well can help you save money. It’s usually cheaper in the summer or early autumn when demand is lower. So, ordering ahead of cold weather can help you avoid peak-season prices. Check out our Price Insights tool to get a good idea of market fluctuations – we’re here to help you get the most heating oil for your money.
How much does heating oil cost, and what factors affect the price?
Heating oil prices change daily and depend on factors like global oil markets, weather, seasonal demand, and your delivery location. Larger orders may also work out cheaper per litre. Want to know how much your heating oil order will cost you? Get your free quote online today.
How does heating oil compare to other heating fuels like gas or electricity?
Heating oil is often cheaper per unit than electricity and can be more cost-effective in rural areas without mains gas. It also offers high heat output, making it a great choice for larger or older homes, as well as big business buildings, such as farms.
What is heating oil, and how does it work for home heating?
Heating oil is a liquid fuel used in oil-fired boilers to heat homes that aren’t connected to the gas grid. It’s stored in a tank outside and pumped into your system to provide hot water and central heating.
