The County Durham heating oil market
County Durham divides into a more urban and suburban east, where mains gas is widespread, and a rural west covering the North Pennines, Weardale, and Teesdale, which have very high concentrations of oil-heated properties. The county is well served by regional distributors including Simpson Fuels and several national suppliers with North East depots. Prices in the rural west tend to run slightly above the national average due to the distances involved, while the more accessible eastern parts are more competitive.
16 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.
