Home Heating Oil Prices in Dublin !?!

oldboy

Hello Folks !

Not sure if this is a rip-off ! Was hoping for some feedback to see what people think.

I'm fully aware of the current focus on the rise in oil prices but we just got quoted €629 for a full tank of heating oil :eek:

This time last year it cost us €410. :eek:

Its from a reputable well established southside home heating oil company.

Has anybody else been quoted a price this high for heating oil ?

Should we do a survey of where to get it the cheapest ? I know my nan is gonna flip when she has to fill up her tank


There has to be better prices than this around dublin, bear in mind I ordered it from work about 20min ago so havent had time to check the golden pages and phone around for quotes


Thanks in advance for the feedback

Are you sure you didnt get 1000 litre last year and the tank holds more, which is what you were quoted this year? Think taks oftem hold 1200 litre iirc. If not maybe give it a week or so as prices of oil are dropping so it might come down.

Prices ofhome heating oil fluctuates constanly so it'd probably be out of date as quick as its compilled.

thats the going rate tbh, 60 ish cent a liter..., it wasnt 40 cent a liter for at maybe 2or 3 years tbh. id switch to gas if i was u, or get a more efficient oil boiler. to b honest u are probably loosing 1/3 of that oil in smoke up the exaust of your boiler, this can be cut to 10%.

The results of your price check are:
Product: Kero
Quantity: 1000
Cent Per Litre inc VAT @ 13.50% : 0.60
Price (€) Inc VAT: 601.55

u can calculate the price on emo.ie

Cheers lads,

Yep it was 1000 last year and the same again this year, just got a fright when the quote came through, that emo.ie site is very handy for working it out.

The house is rented, crappy boiler and single glazed windows, its going to be a cold expensive winter !!

Mind you Dunnes have some good thermals for sale at the moment, probably the cheapest ............. and I could get me nan a set for christmas

im just replacing an oil boiler hopefully with the most efficient i can find -not easy info to find. you normally find that the dollar price per barrel roughly equates to the cent price per litre
