The Cumbria heating oil market
Cumbria has one of the highest proportions of oil-heated homes in England, driven by its rugged terrain, dispersed settlement pattern, and extensive rural areas beyond the reach of mains gas. The Lake District National Park alone contains thousands of off-grid properties, and the Eden Valley, the Solway Plain, and the Furness peninsula all have significant oil dependency. Delivery logistics can be challenging in the most remote mountain valleys, which can push prices above the national average. The main towns of Carlisle, Kendal, and Penrith are generally well served.
18 regional and independent suppliers deliver here as well as 12 national ones, and prices between them can vary by several pence a litre on the same day. It is worth getting more than one price before you order.
