Heating Oil Delivery Wakefield RI | HVAC Service | SmithCo Oil
The town we have called home for 40 years
Wakefield is not just on our service map. It is the address on our office door. SmithCo has operated from 491 Main Street since 1985, right in the heart of the Wakefield Historic District between Belmont Avenue and River Street. Our trucks roll out of this neighborhood every morning, which means Wakefield gets the fastest response time of any town in our service area. When a no-heat call comes in from a home in the village, on Curtis Corner Road, or out near Indian Lake, the truck is often there inside 20 minutes. That is not marketing. That is just how short the drive is from our office to your basement.
If you know these landmarks, you know our block
Our office sits on the same Main Street stretch that locals walk every weekend. If any of these are familiar, we are within easy reach.
Wakefield Historic District
Main Street between Belmont Avenue and River Street, on the National Register since 1996 with boundary expansions in 2019 and 2022. Our office at 491 sits inside the district.
Saugatucket River & Bike Path
The William C. O’Neill Bike Path runs along the river right through downtown. Sari’s Sanctuary deck stretches over the water just up the road from us.
South County Hospital
Major regional hospital on Kenyon Avenue just off Main Street. Many of our service plan customers work there or were born there.
Wakefield Baptist Church
The village center anchor at the bend in Main Street. Locals describe Wakefield village as the stretch from the church down the hill toward the river.
Contemporary Theatre & Hera Gallery
Cultural anchors of the village. The RiverFire events at Contemporary Theatre draw locals from across South County all summer.
Whaler’s Brewing & Sons of Liberty
Wakefield-Peacedale’s two local craft producers. Whaler’s Brewing on Kingstown Road, Sons of Liberty Spirits over in Peace Dale.
Three kinds of Wakefield homes we service every week
Wakefield housing stock is unusual in how much variety it packs into a few square miles. We see three patterns repeatedly, and each one has its own typical heating equipment situation.
Historic District Homes
Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and turn-of-the-century homes line Main Street, Belmont Avenue, and Columbia Street. Many still run on the original oil-fired boilers their owners inherited from the previous generation.
Boiler retrofits, tank replacement, careful work in tight basement spaces
Mid-Century Neighborhoods
Curtis Corner, Torrey Hill, Indian Lake, and the Ocean Ridge area. Ranch and colonial style homes built when oil heat was the regional default. This is the heart of our service plan customer base.
Boiler and furnace replacements at end of equipment life, ongoing service plan maintenance
Newer Construction
Newer subdivisions and infill construction across Wakefield and into Peace Dale. Often built with high-efficiency oil-fired or hybrid heating systems that benefit from regular tune-ups.
Annual tune-ups, automatic delivery setup, oil tank monitoring
Full menu, fastest response, your neighbors
Every service we offer across our 19-town footprint is available in Wakefield, and Wakefield gets the fastest response window of any town we serve because the trucks start and end the day here.

Stephen and his crew have been excellent to us since we bought our home in South County. Reliable delivery, fair pricing, and they actually answer the phone when something goes wrong.

Beyond proximity, here is what keeps the relationships
We Live Here Too
Stephen Smith founded the company here in 1985. His sons David and Kevin run it today. Three generations of our family have grown up in Wakefield, gone to South Kingstown schools, and worked in the family business.
A Real Person on the Phone
Office calls and 24/7 emergency calls go to live SmithCo staff. Many of our Wakefield customers know our dispatcher by first name after years on the phone with the same office.
We Know the Houses
Forty years of installing and servicing equipment in Wakefield homes means we have probably been in a basement on your street before. We know what works in tight historic-district basements and what trips up techs who only visit occasionally.
Same Trucks, Same Drivers
Our 15-truck fleet runs the same routes year after year. Long-term Wakefield customers recognize their delivery driver by face and by truck. That continuity is the entire point of choosing a family-owned local company.
Stop by the office or call us direct
Our front office at 491 Main Street is open during business hours. You can also call to set up delivery, schedule service, or just confirm we have an account on file at your address.
