Rural households across Shropshire and the Welsh border now have a more convenient way to explore professional oil heating services following the introduction of a new website by a long-established family heating company.
Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd has launched the online platform to help homeowners find information about oil boiler maintenance, repairs, replacement installations and the locations served by its engineers. The company brings more than 35 years of industry experience to its specialist heating work.
The development comes at a time when oil-fired central heating continues to play an important role in rural communities, particularly in properties without access to the mains gas network.
Data from the 2021 Census published by the Welsh Government shows that 27.7% of households in Powys used oil as their only source of central heating. Across Wales, the equivalent figure was 7.8%.
These statistics underline the continued reliance on oil heating in rural parts of Wales and the importance of having access to experienced engineers.
For households using oil-fired systems, regular servicing, prompt fault identification and professional installation services can help maintain dependable heating throughout the colder months.
Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd provides specialist oil boiler servicing, repairs, fault diagnosis, installations and heating system upgrades throughout Oswestry, Shropshire and Powys.
Its redesigned online presence brings together details of these services, allowing prospective customers to explore the company’s expertise and establish whether their property is within its service area.
Murray Drennan, Director at Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd, said:
“Oil heating remains essential for many rural households across Shropshire and Powys, particularly during the colder months. We wanted the new website to make it easier for homeowners to find the specialist services they need, while also reflecting the experience and personal service that have been part of the business for more than 35 years.”
As a third-generation family business, the company has built its reputation around domestic oil heating rather than general plumbing work.
Its services cover preventative maintenance, boiler breakdown assistance, replacement heating systems and improvements to existing installations.
The business is OFTEC Registered and holds Worcester Accredited Service Partner status, demonstrating its recognised credentials within the heating industry.
Engineers attend appointments in fully stocked service vehicles equipped with commonly needed boiler components. This preparation allows many problems to be identified and resolved during an initial visit, reducing the inconvenience of prolonged heating interruptions.
For rural properties, where specialist assistance and replacement parts may be less readily accessible, this approach can be particularly valuable.
The website also responds to the growing importance of online research when homeowners choose local tradespeople. Although recommendations and established customer relationships remain central to the business, accessible digital information helps new customers make informed enquiries.
With its latest investment, Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd continues to develop how it connects with households while maintaining the specialist knowledge and personal service associated with its family history.
The company remains committed to supporting oil-heated homes across Oswestry, Shropshire and Powys through dependable servicing, repairs and installation work.
