With oil-fired central heating remaining a necessity for many properties beyond the mains gas network, a third-generation heating company has introduced a website designed to connect rural homeowners with information about specialist boiler services.

Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd serves households across Oswestry, Shropshire and Powys, providing oil boiler servicing, repairs, fault diagnosis, installations and heating upgrades.

The company has more than 35 years of heating industry experience and has developed its new online presence to make details of these services and its geographical coverage easier to access.

Oil heating remains particularly prominent in rural Wales, where many households depend on systems that require specialist knowledge and maintenance.

According to the Welsh Government’s analysis of the 2021 Census, 27.7% of households in Powys relied solely on oil central heating.

The Wales-wide figure was considerably lower at 7.8%, illustrating the regional differences in how homes are heated.

These findings highlight the continued importance of specialist oil heating providers in communities where connection to mains gas is not available.

For homeowners, maintaining an oil-fired heating system involves access to suitable servicing, experienced fault diagnosis and professional replacement installation services when necessary.

Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd has focused its operations on these requirements, supporting domestic oil heating systems throughout its service area.

The new website provides a convenient starting point for customers seeking information about the business, its qualifications and the services it offers.

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.”

The family business has retained its specialist focus through three generations, concentrating on oil-fired domestic heating instead of general plumbing work.

Its engineers undertake routine servicing, breakdown repairs, boiler replacements and heating system upgrades.

The company is OFTEC Registered and a Worcester Accredited Service Partner, offering customers the reassurance of recognised industry credentials.

Engineers also carry a range of frequently needed boiler components in fully stocked service vans.

This means that many faults can be identified and corrected during a single appointment, limiting the need for return visits and helping households restore their heating sooner.

Such preparation can be valuable in rural areas, where distance and access to parts may affect how quickly repairs can be completed.

The website launch also reflects the growing preference among homeowners for researching service providers online before making an enquiry.

By presenting its expertise, service options and coverage information in one place, Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd aims to make the initial stages of finding specialist assistance simpler.

The company continues to develop its customer communications while retaining the family values and oil heating expertise that have defined its work for more than 35 years.
