How OilCompare Finds You the Best Heating Oil Deals

Making Heating Oil Comparison Simple

Finding the best heating oil price used to mean hours of phone calls and waiting for quotes. OilCompare has changed that. Here's how our service works to save you time and money.

Step 1: Enter Your Details

When you visit OilCompare, you'll need to provide just two pieces of information:

Your Postcode This tells us which suppliers can deliver to your location. Not all suppliers cover all areas, so knowing your postcode ensures we only show relevant results.

Quantity Required How much oil do you need? Most orders are between 500 and 2,000 litres. The quantity affects pricing—larger orders typically get a lower price per litre.

Step 2: We Check Multiple Suppliers

Once you submit your request, OilCompare gets to work immediately. We contact our network of verified UK heating oil suppliers to get their current prices for your specific requirements.

This happens in seconds—no waiting, no callbacks.

Step 3: Real-Time Pricing

Unlike some comparison sites that show estimated or outdated prices, OilCompare fetches live pricing directly from suppliers. This means:

The prices you see are accurate right now
You can order with confidence knowing the price won't change
No surprises when you get to checkout

Step 4: Compare and Choose

We present all available options clearly, showing:

Price per litre for easy comparison
Total cost for your order quantity
Supplier information so you know who you're buying from
Delivery estimates where available

You can then choose the option that best suits your needs—whether that's the absolute cheapest, or a slightly higher price from a supplier you've used before.

Why Trust OilCompare?

We're Independent OilCompare isn't owned by any oil supplier. Our job is to help you find the best deal, not push you towards a particular company.

Verified Suppliers Only Every supplier in our network is vetted for reliability and service quality. We don't list companies we wouldn't use ourselves.

No Hidden Fees The prices you see are the prices you pay. We don't add booking fees or service charges.

It's Completely Free Comparing prices on OilCompare costs you nothing. Suppliers pay a small fee when you order through us—but this doesn't affect your price.
