Home-heating costs vary by €70, so shop around says NCA

A survey has revealed consumers can see a difference of up to €70 as they shop around for cheaper home heating oil.

The National Consumer Agency said their research showed that €818 was the average price nationwide for 1,000 litres.

The highest price was €850, recorded in Ennis, Co Clare, while the lowest was in Dundalk at €770.

The Co Louth town also showed the highest variation amongst suppliers in the area, at €70.

As well as shopping around, the NCA said consumers should remember that it may also be possible to strike a better deal through haggling and negotiation
