How to Find the Cheapest Heating Oil in Wicklow

County Wicklow has a diverse range of heating oil suppliers, from large national distributors to smaller local family-run businesses. Prices can vary significantly between them, sometimes by as much as 10-15 cent per litre. On a 1000L fill, that's a difference of €100-€150!

1. Compare Multiple Suppliers

The golden rule of buying heating oil is never to auto-renew or just call the last supplier you used without checking the market. Prices change daily based on global oil markets and local demand.

Tankful makes this easy by aggregating prices from suppliers across Leinster. You can check our Live Price Trends to see what the current average is before you buy.

2. Order Larger Quantities

Delivery costs are relatively fixed for suppliers whether they drop 300L or 1000L. Because of this, the price per litre almost always drops as you order more.

• 300L: Most expensive per litre. Emergency top-up only.
• 500L: Standard order size, better value.
• 1000L: usually the "sweet spot" for value if your tank can hold it.

3. Buy in Summer (Usually)

While not always true due to geopolitical events, demand for heating oil is lowest in June, July, and August. Suppliers often lower margins to keep their trucks moving during these months. Filling up your tank in summer can save you a significant amount compared to panic-buying in December.

4. Watch Out for "Hidden" Fees

Some low advertised prices might come with caveats:

• Credit card surcharges (1-2%)
• Urgent delivery fees
• "Through the house" delivery charges

At Tankful, we prioritize transparency so you know exactly what you're paying.
