Why Bodmin Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Bodmin, Cornwall's historic county town, presents an exceptional opportunity for heat pump installation. While the town centre has mains gas, large sections of the town — including the higher residential areas of Beacon, Boxwell Park, and the growing Highfield Park development — are suited to heat pump retrofit. More significantly, the vast rural hinterland around Bodmin is entirely off the gas grid: villages like Lanivet, Cardinham, Blisland, and St Mabyn all rely on oil or electric heating and are within easy reach. Bodmin's housing spans a wide range: Victorian and Edwardian granite terraces in the conservation area, 1950s–70s council estates in Berrycoombe and Flamank Park, inter-war semis, and an expanding range of new-build properties. Cornwall Housing has already demonstrated the effectiveness of heat pumps in Bodmin: a recent development of new affordable homes in the town centre was fitted with air source heat pumps and underfloor heating — residents reported fuel bills dropping from approximately £30 per week to £111 per two months, a saving of over £1,400 per year. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 10 miles from Bodmin, reachable in under 20 minutes via the A391 and A30. We handle the full process from home survey through MCS certification and BUS grant application, making Bodmin homeowners' transition to renewable heating as smooth as possible. The town has 119 listed buildings, so our engineers are experienced in planning requirements for heritage properties.
Common property types in Bodmin: Victorian granite terraces, Edwardian semis, 1950s–70s council estates (Berrycoombe, Flamank Park), inter-war semis, new-build estates (Highfield Park, Barons Meadow)
Cornwall Council has adopted a Climate Emergency Development Plan Document requiring new builds to incorporate renewable heating. Grant support through BUS, ECO4, and the HEAT Cornwall scheme is available for Bodmin homeowners.

Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
"CCS installed our air source heat pump and the whole process was brilliant from start to finish. They handled the BUS grant application, and our heating bills have dropped significantly. The house is warmer than it ever was with our old oil boiler."
James & Sarah T.
St Austell
"Had solar panels installed by CCS and could not be happier. Professional team, tidy work, and they explained everything clearly. Already generating more electricity than we expected, and the Smart Export Guarantee payments are a nice bonus."
David M.

"We were nervous about switching from oil to a heat pump in our period cottage, but CCS made the whole process straightforward. The heat pump is quiet, efficient, and our oil delivery days are over. Brilliant job."
