Compare My Heating Oil launches free county-by-county price comparison service

Compare My Heating Oil has launched a free heating oil price comparison tool covering all 84 UK counties and surveying 60 named suppliers daily. The service aims to give households a clearer local benchmark before they order kerosene, a fuel with no price cap or standard tariff.

Why it matters: - Heating oil prices can change daily and vary by county, leaving rural households without the protections available for mains gas and electricity. - A county-level benchmark can turn a supplier quote into a checkable price for households, landlords and small businesses that rely on oil heat. - The service could help buyers spot inflated quotes before placing orders for 300 litres, 500 litres or 900 litres.

What happened: - Compare My Heating Oil launched a free heating oil price comparison service covering all 84 counties of the United Kingdom. - The service surveys 60 named heating oil suppliers every day. - Compare My Heating Oil says it tells households what kerosene should cost in their own county before they place an order. - Founder Tom Riley said most sites that look like heating oil comparison tools are actually retailers selling their own oil, and that the company built a service to give people a straight answer on the going rate in their county.

The details: - Compare My Heating Oil publishes both a national average and county-level averages. - The comparison tool shows prices for delivered orders of 300 litres, 500 litres and 900 litres. - Heating oil is also sold as kerosene or 28 second burning oil. - The fuel heats homes, provides hot water and powers boilers in properties without mains gas. - Coverage spans England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through one dedicated page for each of the 84 counties. - The site also offers buying guides and calculators for tank sizing, bulk ordering and seasonal price changes. - Every search returns a best-value supplier for that location instead of a simple list. - The recommended supplier can be a national distributor with a nearby depot or a local independent, depending on the day’s surveyed pricing.

Between the lines: - The launch challenges a market where many comparison sites also sell fuel, which can blur the line between advice and retail. - Daily county averages may be especially useful for rural customers who buy in one-off deliveries rather than through monthly direct debit. - Fixed-income households, landlords, second-home owners, farms, B&Bs, village halls and small rural businesses may benefit from a clearer local reference point when costs move by the litre. - Bulk buyers buying together can use the volume bands to check whether a combined order beats separate purchases.

What's next: - The best-value supplier recommendation will continue to change as daily market pricing moves. - Households can use the county pages to compare prices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland before ordering. - The site’s guides and calculators are positioned to support buyers through tank planning and seasonal purchasing decisions.

The bottom line: - Compare My Heating Oil is trying to make heating oil pricing more transparent by offering a daily, county-by-county benchmark across the UK, without selling fuel itself. - The company is a trading name of TMR Digital Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 15550089, based in London.
