Fuel Costs

Fuel cost, followed by appliance cost, are for most people the major factors in choosing a heating system. However, it is not always easy to make comparisons as different fuels have different calorific values and are sold in different units (tonne, litre, kWh).

The table below allows you to compare easily the costs of different fuels.

Energy Comparison
How to use the Comparator
  1. Locate the price you are paying for the fuel (in pence per litre or £ per tonne) on the appropriate fuel column
  2. Move horizontally to the dark blue column and read off the heat cost in pence per kWhour.
  3. Continue horizontally to find the equivalent cost of a different fuel. How does this price compare with the market price of that fuel? Should you consider changing?
