As colder weather increases the importance of dependable domestic heating, a family-run specialist serving communities along the England and Wales border has introduced a website to help homeowners locate oil boiler servicing, repair and installation information.
Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd has developed the online resource around its core oil-fired heating services, drawing on more than 35 years of industry knowledge and experience.
The website provides details of the company’s work and helps customers across Oswestry, Shropshire and Powys identify the support available for their heating systems.
Oil central heating remains widely used in rural parts of the region, particularly where homes are situated beyond the reach of mains gas infrastructure.
According to 2021 Census housing data released by the Welsh Government, 27.7% of Powys households depended exclusively on oil for central heating, compared with 7.8% of households across Wales.
The figures illustrate why specialist oil boiler services remain relevant to a significant number of rural properties.
Maintaining a reliable heating system can be especially important during winter, when boiler faults may leave households without adequate heating or hot water.
Routine servicing, accurate diagnosis and timely repairs are therefore important considerations for homeowners who use oil-fired equipment.
Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd specialises in domestic oil boiler maintenance, repairs, new installations and heating improvements across its established service area.
The website consolidates information about these activities, helping customers understand the company’s capabilities before arranging an appointment.
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 company has operated as a family business across three generations, retaining a specialist focus on oil heating rather than offering a broad range of general plumbing services.
Its engineers handle regular boiler servicing, breakdown investigations, replacement systems and upgrades to existing heating installations.
The business is OFTEC Registered and a Worcester Accredited Service Partner, reflecting its professional credentials and commitment to specialist heating work.
Engineers also use fully stocked service vans containing a selection of commonly needed boiler parts.
Having these components available during appointments means that many faults can be repaired on the first visit, helping minimise disruption when heating equipment stops working.
This preparation can make a practical difference for customers living in more remote areas, where additional visits and parts deliveries may take longer to arrange.
Alongside its technical services, the business recognises the growing role of digital information in helping homeowners select appropriate heating providers.
Its new website supports this shift by presenting service details and coverage information in an accessible format.
Smiths Heating (Wales) Ltd continues to combine the experience developed over three generations with updated ways for customers to discover its services.
The company remains focused on providing specialist oil heating assistance to homes throughout Oswestry, Shropshire and Powys.
