The Leicestershire heating oil market
Leicestershire has a moderate oil heating market centred on its rural areas. Charnwood Forest in the north-west of the county, the Welland Valley along the Northamptonshire border, and the agricultural villages of the High Leicestershire wolds all have meaningful oil dependency. Leicester city and the main market towns are predominantly gas-heated. The county is well served by East Midlands-based suppliers and nationals, with prices close to the national average.
Charnwood Forest around Loughborough, Woodhouse Eaves, and the villages north of Leicester has the highest concentration of oil-heated properties in the county. The Welland Valley around Market Harborough, the High Leicestershire wolds around Uppingham and Oakham, and the rural villages of east Leicestershire also have significant oil dependency. Several of the older country houses and farms in the county have been on oil heating for decades.

How much heating oil do homes in Leicestershire use?
A typical oil-heated home in Leicestershire 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.
