The Hampshire heating oil market
Hampshire is a large and varied county. The urban areas around Southampton, Portsmouth, and Basingstoke are well served by mains gas, but the rural north of the county, the New Forest National Park, and the quieter villages of the Test Valley and Meon Valley have a significant oil-heated population. The New Forest in particular, with its dispersed settlements and historic properties, has very high oil dependency. National distributors serve the county well and competition keeps prices broadly in line with the national average.
The New Forest National Park, the Test Valley, and the villages around Alresford, Alton, and Petersfield have the highest concentrations of oil-heated properties. The New Forest is particularly notable, with many thatched cottages and older properties where oil has been the primary heat source for generations. North Hampshire around Whitchurch and Overton also has significant oil dependency.

How much heating oil do homes in Hampshire use?
A typical oil-heated home in Hampshire uses between 1,500 and 2,500 litres per year depending on property size, insulation, and how warm the household keeps it. Larger detached and older properties use more; well-insulated modern homes less.
The most cost-effective approach is to order a full tank in summer (July or August historically offer the lowest prices) and avoid emergency winter top-ups when prices and demand peak simultaneously. See our guide to the best time to buy heating oil for the full seasonal breakdown.
