1960’s to 2009 and 2009 to 2011 Our History
Shelford Heating was born out of the expanding Oil Heating Market from the late 60’s – Oil Boilers needed Annual Servicing and Maintenance not only from our own company Installations but that of many other Plumbing and Heating Companies in and around Cambridge – Shelford Heating offered that very first Oil Boiler Commisioning Service to all, a great service along with that very first Oil Delivery and very much the norm until Competent Persons Schemes came into force requiring competency and the need to obtain qualifications.
Many of our current Customers will recall the Purchase of Shelford Energy and Shelford Heating by Watson Petroleum in March 2009 from its then Owners Shelford Petroleum Oil Transport Ltd.
This knowledge of oil heating was further expanded in the late 1990’s to include gas heating along with installation of heating systems, and full maintenance packages. Shelford Heating now successfully services thousands of customers annually along with high numbers of Boiler Replacements.
The future of heating is forever changing, and we are now embarking on major changes in how our homes and businesses are heated along with generation of free and renewable energy. Unfortunately the days of cheap fuels are no longer! As a result we need to identify more sustainable sources and improved technologies.
