Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Charlestown

Charlestown is one of the most visually striking communities in Cornwall — a complete Georgian copper and china clay port built between 1791 and 1801 by Charles Rashleigh, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site buffer zone and the filming location for Poldark, Treasure Island, and Doctor Who. The harbour still hosts visiting tall ships, and the village attracts homeowners drawn by its exceptional heritage character. Properties average around £410,000, reflecting its desirability. Charlestown is almost entirely off the mains gas grid — the area was built before the Victorian gas network reached this far west, and there has been no subsequent mains gas connection. Most properties rely on oil central heating or, in some cases, LPG. The £7,500 BUS grant makes switching from oil to a heat pump highly attractive for Charlestown homeowners, but the conservation area and listed building status of many properties requires careful planning. Our engineers understand the heritage planning framework and can advise on installations that satisfy both Cornwall Council's conservation requirements and modern heat pump standards. Many Charlestown properties have south-facing rear gardens providing excellent space for external heat pump units away from the street-facing conservation view. CCS Heating & Renewables is just 2 miles from Charlestown.
