The Somerset heating oil market
Somerset has a substantial and well-established oil heating market. The county's rural character, the Quantock Hills, Exmoor National Park, the Blackdown Hills, and the Somerset Levels all have high concentrations of off-grid properties that have relied on oil heating for decades. National and regional suppliers both operate across the county, and prices are broadly in line with the national average. The Exmoor fringe and the more remote parts of the Levels can see slightly higher delivery costs.
Exmoor National Park, the Quantock Hills, and the Blackdown Hills AONB have the highest concentrations of oil-heated properties in the county. The Somerset Levels around Bridgwater and Glastonbury also have significant oil dependency, with many older farmhouses and cottages beyond the gas network. Darch Oil, based in the South West, provides strong local coverage.

How much heating oil do homes in Somerset use?
A typical oil-heated home in Somerset 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.
