Our story

Built by someone
who relies on heating oil

PriceTank compares heating oil suppliers across the UK, so you can see what's actually available before you order.

I've relied on heating oil since 2006. The market has changed quite a bit in that time, both the suppliers and the way it works. There have also been various shocks in the oil price, and legislation brought in, cancelled and extended.

I couldn't find an independent site, so I made one.

What we're trying to do is present the whole market, and provide independent guides and information to help you understand and follow what's going on, as well as cover the common questions and issues.

Most comparison tools I'd used online before building this felt built for the suppliers rather than the buyer. I built PriceTank with a small team to do this properly: live prices from multiple suppliers for your postcode, a clear explanation of what's affecting the market, and no payment from suppliers to rank higher.

My own tank is on here as well: how full it is, what I use and what I paid, updated every week or two.

We really value your feedback. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or suggestions, or spot something we could be doing better.
