The first heating oil price comparison site for Ireland
Also we are not affiliated with any oil supplier (and never have been!). We're not a broker.
That means:
- You don't pay commission.
- We keep our independence and you get to do whatever you want (like phone your usual supplier).
If you've just found us, we've being going since 2008, long before many of our imitators.
How is the site funded?
Currently through advertising. Unlike so many other sites, the Cheapest Oil websites are not funded by commission on referrals or by charging oil distributors to be listed.
We focus on pay per click or pay per lead advertising (such as through Google Adwords displayed along the left of this page). This allows us to maximize revenue from increasing visitor numbers.
To find out more above advertising through Google, see Google Adwords.
Why only online quotes?
It's just not feasible to phone up ever supplier numerous times per day and check what their price is.
At times when the price of oil can vary greatly, it would also lead to inconsistent comparisons.
Ultimately it would be a nuisance for everyone - for the oil distributor to take the call, for us to make the call and for you when you phone the supplier only to find the price is out of date.
So how does an oil distributor get listed on the site?
We can set a distributor up with an account where they can log in and set prices for each county. To see how this works, visit https://www.cheapestoil.org and select the "List prices" option.
It's all free and has been operating since 2008. You can let us know if you have any queries or would like to be set up with an account.
Different quotes for different folks?
Some oil distributors will not have the same quote for everyone.
Prices can vary by location, whether you phone them or use the internet. There are obviously different costs involved for the oil distributors depending on where you live and how you go about getting your oil.
