ENERGY GUIDE

Heating oil vs natural gas

Compare fuels using the cost of useful heat, not only the price per litre or gas billing unit.

How to compare costs

Heating oil is approximately 10.2 kWh per litre. Natural gas is often billed directly per kWh; conversion from cubic metres varies by billing conditions.

What to consider

Include boiler efficiency, standing charges, delivery fees, and bulk-order quantities before deciding which is cheaper.
