Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Lanreath

Lanreath is a small village in the South East Cornwall countryside, set in rolling farmland between Lostwithiel and the coast near Polperro. The village has a conservation area covering its historic core with traditional Cornish stone properties. Lanreath is entirely off the mains gas grid — oil is the primary heating fuel — making it a strong candidate for the £7,500 BUS grant when switching from oil to an air source heat pump. The area has attracted significant attention from renewable energy developers: Elgin Energy has submitted a pre-application for a 25MW solar farm at Bocaddon Farm near Lanreath (~100 acres, 50-year operational life), demonstrating the area's excellent solar resource. Cornwall's mild Atlantic climate ensures heat pumps here achieve excellent COP 3.5+ performance year-round. CCS Heating & Renewables serves the PL13 area from our base in Pool, Redruth.

Why Lanreath homeowners choose air source heat pump installation

Lanreath sits 8 miles from our base, serves around 500 residents, with around 95% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Lanreath 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

• 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.
