Boiler Installation in Fowey

Fowey is 90% off the mains gas grid. Almost every property in the town runs on oil, LPG, or electric heating. CCS Heating & Renewables provides OFTEC-registered oil boiler installation across Fowey and the PL23 area — and we're equally happy to provide a genuine heat pump comparison if that's what you need to make an informed decision.

Oil boiler installation in Fowey's heritage buildings

Fowey has significant heritage constraints. The conservation area covers most of the town, and there are over 60 listed buildings in the Fowey parish. External oil flue positioning and tank placement require sensitivity to the street scene and, for listed buildings, a Listed Building Consent application. We're experienced in this — we know which positions Cornwall Council's conservation officers will accept and which they'll query, and we advise on this during the free survey.

A standard oil boiler replacement in a Fowey period property involves: new Worcester Bosch, Grant, or Firebird A-rated condensing oil boiler, system power flush, OFTEC commissioning certificate, and a full system handover. Typical installed cost: £2,600–£3,500.

The honest heat pump comparison

For Fowey homeowners with oil boilers over 12 years old, we'll always offer a heat pump comparison at the survey stage. At current oil prices and with the £7,500 BUS grant, the 10-year economics of a heat pump frequently beat a new oil boiler even in heritage properties with modest radiator upgrades. The constraint in Fowey is usually outdoor unit siting — rear terraced gardens are narrow, and some properties need a roof-mounted or wall-mounted unit solution. We assess this at survey.
