The basics

How heating oil prices work in Ireland

Kerosene prices follow the wholesale oil market, so a 500 litre fill can cost more or less from one week to the next. Two suppliers in the same county often charge different prices for the same oil.

Tankful checks oil suppliers’ websites across the country and lists their prices side by side, cheapest first.

Every price shows when we checked it. Delivery charges and your address can change the total; the supplier confirms it when you order. Not buying yet? A free price alert emails you when your county reaches your price.

Heating oil price questions

How much is 500 litres of heating oil in Ireland?

The lowest 500 litre price we found this week is €799.00 in Monaghan. Across the 26 counties with a checked price it runs from €799.00 to €845.00 in Clare. Prices follow the wholesale oil market, and delivery charges and minimum orders differ between suppliers, so the price you’re quoted can differ.

Does heating oil cost the same in every county?

No. This week the lowest 500 litre price is €46.00 dearer in Clare than in Monaghan. The cheapest county changes from week to week.

Is kerosene the same as heating oil?

Most Irish home heating oil is kerosene, also sold as 28-second oil, and the price you see for heating oil is normally the kerosene price. Some homes use gas oil, which is a different product.

How often do heating oil prices change?

Week to week, and sometimes within a week, as the wholesale market moves. Every price on Tankful shows when we checked it.

When is a good time to buy heating oil?

If you’re running low, order now rather than wait for a dip. If you have oil in hand, set a free price alert for your county and buy when it reaches your price. Past prices don’t predict the next one.
