Why Duporth Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Duporth is a small coastal community between Charlestown and Porthpean, approximately 3 miles from our base in Pool, Redruth. With a population of around 600, Duporth consists primarily of detached and semi-detached properties on the hillside above Duporth Beach. The area has mixed gas grid coverage — some properties are connected to mains gas while others rely on oil or LPG, making it essential to verify each property's heating fuel during survey. For off-grid Duporth properties, the £7,500 BUS grant makes switching from oil to an air source heat pump particularly attractive. The coastal location ensures mild winters and excellent year-round COP performance of 3.5+. Many Duporth properties have gardens and driveways well suited to external heat pump unit placement, and the hillside setting often provides good separation from neighbouring properties for acoustic compliance.
Why Duporth homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
Duporth sits 3 miles from our base, serves around 600 residents, with around 70% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Duporth costs £4,500–£8,500 after the £7,500 BUS grant and cuts heating running costs by 40–60% versus oil or LPG.
Property types we install in
Detached and semi-detached houses, coastal bungalows, modern properties
- Solid-wall stone & granite properties: typically need 2–4 radiator upsizes and benefit from 9–12kW units.
- Inter-war semis & bungalows: usually 8–10kW with minimal fabric work required.
- Off-grid oil or LPG homes: the strongest economic case — running cost drops 40–60% after switching.

"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."
