The County Antrim heating oil market
County Antrim shares Northern Ireland's exceptionally high rate of oil-heated homes, with around 58% of properties relying on kerosene as their primary fuel. The county has excellent supplier coverage with multiple local independents competing for business, making it one of the most price-competitive heating oil markets in the UK. Belfast's hinterland, the Antrim coast, the Glens of Antrim, and the agricultural areas around Ballymena and Ballymoney are all well served. Prices are consistently among the lowest in the UK.
The Glens of Antrim around Cushendall and Ballycastle, the North Antrim coast, and the rural areas around Ballymena, Antrim town, and Randalstown have very high oil dependency. Belfast's suburban fringe also has a significant oil-heated population. ClickOil and Heat Direct NI are the main online-first options for the county, while Nicholl Oils and Irwin Fuels provide strong local independent coverage.

How much heating oil do homes in County Antrim use?
A typical oil-heated home in County Antrim uses between 1,500 and 2,500 litres per year depending on property size, insulation, and how warm the household keeps it. Larger detached and older properties use more; well-insulated modern homes less.
The most cost-effective approach is to order a full tank in summer (July or August historically offer the lowest prices) and avoid emergency winter top-ups when prices and demand peak simultaneously. See our guide to the best time to buy heating oil for the full seasonal breakdown.
